Community Urges Public Engagement in Charles Town Roadway Redesign
Planned roadway redesign needs public input
The Spirit of Jefferson | Wednesday, November 27, 2024
The Spirit of Jefferson reports on a planned technical meeting by the West Virginia Department of Transportation regarding a significant roadway redesign at the Y intersection in Charles Town. Despite the project's potential impact on the community, public input has not been solicited. Residents of Ward 1 are advocating for independent engineering reviews, a series of public meetings scheduled to accommodate varying work schedules, and greater transparency in the design process, particularly since no community meetings have previously been held to discuss these developments.
