BACKGROUND:
Several roads west of downtown Waxhaw are being modified or built as part of project P-5748, which will build a new bridge over NC 75 and the CSX railroad line in order to close railroad crossings at Helms Road and Tory Path Road. This project is currently underway, and one new road has already been completed, connecting Tory Path and Helms Road. Waxhaw and Union County are responsible for naming the roads in this area. They conducted a public input period between November 7 and December 15, 2024. Based on the submitted names, staff have made recommendations for each of the proposed or recently completed segments. A public hearing was conducted March 17, 2025, where a resident requested that Helms Road keep its current name. Staff coordinated with Waxhaw staff, who agreed with the revision. The Town took action on their portions at their March 25, 2025, regular meeting. The new recommended name for these segments is Helms Road.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
