City sets meeting to discuss Edgewood Road issues
MOUNT VERNON — The City of Mount Vernon has set March 13 as the day it will discuss its traffic studies and possible solutions with the residents in the area of Edgewood Road.
Mayor Richard Mavis said letters were sent out to Edgewood Road residents Wednesday notifying them of the public meeting, which will be held from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on March 13 in the third floor of the Knox County Memorial Building.
“We will have the information (to present to them), the traffic count, all those numbers,” Mavis said. “We have some other maps and that sort of thing that will be on display. We’re hoping that we get a good turnout. We have a lot of people interested in this project.”
One reason for the meeting is to bring ideas to the table, not only from city administration, but also from the community. “We want to have that opportunity to talk to people, to have input from people,” Mavis said.
