48th Street Restriping
At the June Cedar Park Neighbors board meeting, a group of concerned residents living on or around 48th Street presented materials and a petition in opposition of the 48th Street restriping project, which began last week.
After the public portion of the meeting, the board also discussed two other requests: 1) CPN to request a pause on the project and form a committee with other stakeholders to review the project and 2) request that 48th Street have bike lanes next to the traffic lane instead of parking protected lanes.
The board decided to remain aligned with their letter of support sent to the Councilwoman's office on April 10, 2024 and declined these requests to pause, form a committee, and ask for a different design.
Their 3rd request was for the President to ask Councilwoman Gauthier’s office for a meeting. The President formally requested a meeting with Councilwoman Gauthier but her office declined because the project was approved and underway and because public meetings were previously held.
Bus 64 route change updates
The group is also in opposition to the 64 Bus route change and asks CPN to intervene. On May 23rd 2024, the SEPTA Board approved the new network and their project team is making preparations for implementation starting in Summer 2025.
However, the Councilwoman’s office said SEPTA is open to reassessing after a year or two if the route changes end up causing new problems."
