Cary has heard concerns regarding the traffic conditions along Olde Weatherstone Way, particularly near the Glenkirk Greenway.  This corridor serves and connects several communities so staff have developed a concept that we believe will enhance the mobility of pedestrians and cyclists, while still supporting the vehicle traffic and emergency access commensurate with a Collector Avenue. 

Cary has responded to traffic safety concerns from community members by evaluating Olde Weatherstone Way for traffic calming.  This evaluation, presented and discussed in the Traffic Data Summary posted to the Documents section below, resulted in an initial recommendation by staff for traffic calming. 

Staff have developed this into a Concept Design to exhibit Cary's suggestions for traffic calming (speed humps) along this corridor and to facilitate discussions with affected citizens.  To-date, this design has been reviewed by Cary's Traffic Calming Safety Committee to ensure that impacts to access and emergency services are minimized and acceptable. 

As the most critical aspect of a successful traffic calming project, staff also reached out to gather input and understand the consensus of the residents of Glenkirk and the surrounding area, confirming support for the project.  Those we believe will be directly impacted by this project were included in the project Influence Area, but all impacted citizens are encouraged to engage in the process.

The improvements proposed for Olde Weatherstone are intended to moderate vehicle speeds and improve visibility of pedestrians at the Glenkirk Greenway crossing.

​We encourage you to review the Documents section for additional information. 

The results from the survey and some of the feedback received are available in the Documents section and on the following page.  Citizens are encouraged to review the Survey Results and Comment Response documents.  Based on those, Cary staff are proceeding with construction of this traffic calming project.  Any additional feedback can be provided by emailing the Cary Project Manager directly using the link below.  Project updates will be posted here as they become available. 

Cary staff are happy to meet directly with community representatives as we move through this process.
