Pinehurst Traffic Circle Redesign

Pinehurst's Mayor Pro Tem urged the board to consider an alternative design linking NC 211 and US 15-501 south of the circle, citing questionable DOT traffic projections, right-of-way impacts, and 60% public opposition to the current design.

A Pinehurst council member asked the board not to settle the design without broader public review, noting only one public meeting was held on the current proposal versus three for the earlier CFI plan.

A Pinehurst resident submitted written concerns citing fatal crashes at similarly designed intersections elsewhere and asked the board to consider amending its resolution given an outdated 2013 traffic model.
