Weycroft / Whitford Place
Weycroft Grant Drive, Weycroft Ridge Drive and Weycroft Avenue east of Green Level Church
Cary has received citizen requests for traffic calming along Weycroft Avenue in both the Weycroft and Whitford Place subdivisions. Staff have responded by collecting data on the speed and volume of vehicles traveling through the neighborhood and are working to gather input from the residents to inform potential traffic calming improvements. Any input can be provided by emailing the Cary Project Manager using the link below.
Cary staff have been observing this neighborhood to evaluate how the road network complements the surrounding area. Data collection is an important facet, as is community input and feedback. This project webpage is set up to communicate the former and facilitate the latter.
Traffic counts have been completed along several roads in this area, including:
- Weycroft Avenue, west of Green Level Church
- Weycroft Avenue, east of Green Level Church
- Weycroft Grant Drive
- Weycroft Ridge Drive
The results are summarized below in Traffic Summary Reports posted to the Documents section. Please note that the summaries are subdivision-specific, with separate reports for Weycroft and Whitford Place. We encourage all potentially impacted citizens to review the documents presented and share with their neighbors.
Cary staff have also prepared conceptual designs for traffic calming to solicit input and gauge support for traffic calming within the community. Those designs are also posted in the Documents section. In order to better understand the neighborhood reaction to these concepts, a survey was made available to all citiziens in the area. Cary staff are happy to meet directly with community representatives as we move through this process. Based on the survey results and subsequent discussions with community representatives, staff are proceeding as follows:
- Staff recommended to proceed with formal community acceptance (petition) and subsequent construction of the single speed hump on Weycroft Avenue, east of Green Level Church and adjacent to Whitford Place. Additional information on the process for formal community acceptance and appropriate of funds can be found in Cary Standard Procedure 111.
- Staff collaborated with representatives of the Weycroft subdivision regarding traffic calming along Weycroft Grant Drive and agreed to pause on the project due to a lack of support from the community.
- As requested by the Weycroft community, staff are continuing to evaluate Weycroft Avenue, which is a Collector Street, to determine if additional traffic calming might be appropriate. As a Collector Street, any improvements to Weycroft Avenue would be recommended and fully funded by Cary.
We encourage you to review the traffic data summary and other documents to understand the scope of this project. Any additional feedback can be provided by emailing the Cary Project Manager directly using the link below.
Project updates will be provided to HOA and neighborhood representatives, as well as being posted here.
