Topics getting the most attention in Goldsboro public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Transit Bus Replacement Funding
Council kicked in $75,000 from fund balance to cover taxes and fees on eight new federally funded buses that exclusively serve Goldsboro's five bus routes — plus a new $35 monthly pass pilot.
Truck Traffic in District One Neighborhood
Councilmember Jones reported that oversized trucks are still cutting through the North End neighborhood on Neil and Alabama toward Highway 117 despite earlier discussions, endangering an area with a park and children.
Four-way stop at Walnut and Claiborne
Council adopted a four-way stop at Walnut and Claiborne, where speeding and crashes have plagued residents. Council members flagged that similar 'drag strip' residential streets — like Best and Walnut, and Stronick near the new jail — may need the same treatment.
