Planning staff announced a DOT drop‑in public meeting Oct. 22 (5–7 p.m.) at Weddington United Methodist Church for the Ready Road extension; staff advised council to review updated plans, which include roadway widening and right‑of‑way stakes that may affect properties near Lindenwood and Blackstone.

Staff briefed council on WCAG accessibility obligations with a compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, and presented three vendor/price options (full AudioEye service, document‑only support, and a low‑cost WebCentral option); council agreed to pause and research alternatives before committing.

A $30,000 multijurisdictional study found culverts and crossings that can fail in 25- and 100-year storm events, identifying roughly 11 homes at risk in one neighborhood and 10 in another; full repairs to maintain access across five crossings were preliminarily estimated at $1.252D$1.5 million.
