Join us on July 21 as we tackle everyone’s favorite topic: Roads and Traffic. We’ll be joined by Mayor Pro Tem Michael Osborne, who helps lead the town’s Transportation Advisory Committee, and Deputy Town Manager Wayne Herron, who has been working with NCDOT on road construction and maintenance issues for much of his career.

The event is an audience-led Q&A and we plan to discuss road projects that are in the pipeline and under construction. We’ll also learn about state-maintained roads and the process of working with NCDOT to alleviate congestion around Cornelius.
