Topics getting the most attention in Oxford public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
North Lamar Improvements State Funding (SB2189)
The board accepted $1 million in state money from Senate Bill 2189 to help pay for North Lamar improvements. The mayor will sign an MOU with the state, and the city must spend it within 36 months with quarterly reporting.
Old Taylor Road / Chucky Mullins traffic signal
After a million years of talk, a traffic signal and left-turn lanes are finally going in at Old Taylor and Chucky Mullins — bids are being advertised now.
North Lamar Corridor Improvements, Phase 1
Years in the making, the city is now advertising bids to give North Lamar a 'main street' look — on-street parking, buildings closer to the road — starting at the roundabout and heading toward Cincinnatus Boulevard, including the tricky Varner Loop/Ivy Road intersection.
Oxford Square crosswalk lighting
Pedestrian-activated in-pavement lights are coming to the Square's crosswalks to make nighttime crossings safer.
