Per Public Works: This street is closed as part of the Stanhope Project to relocate an existing sewer line. This closure is schedule for November 18 through December 19th. As part of the closure process the contractor is required to notify all adjacent property owners in writing and have proper traffic control in place. The City will verify that the traffic control measures are adequate.

Thank you for responding to this issue. This closed one of only two access points to the Dan Allen Parking Deck, which maintains probably twice as many cars as the nearby pay-to-park gravel lot, Interestingly, this lot still had full access through all of its connecting driveways until just a few days ago.

Requiring other users of Friendly Drive to be notified in advance of its closure, prior to November 18th, would have been helpful -- and should have been required if this is a City street. This would have been done for many other road closures in the City.

Was the closure of this road supposed to be posted for the benefit of the general public, as is currently being done with the illuminated signage on Hillsborough Street? If not, why?

Thank you again.

I read about the closures in the News & Observer and NC State University sent out specific and detailed information via many outlets regarding this - since it primarily affects NC State campus students and employees. Information was sent out as late as a couple of days ago. Maybe you should pay attention to the communication. If you're not at the University, I am sure a simple phone call would have gotten you the info you desired.

Willowbee,' this information was not provided directly to employees prior to the closure, and it was not posted anywhere near, or around the impacted areas -- including the Dan Allen Deck. If you took the time to read the City's response you would have noted that notification was only provided to adjacent businesses. Information sent out "as late as a couple of days ago" was well after this comment was posted, and many weeks after employees would have been affected.

The News and Observer reported on this only a few days before the drive was actually closed, and any other reports you would have seen since pertained to the closure of the entire section of Hillsborough St. -- *not* just Friendly Drive. I get the newspaper too, so don't pretend that this was a new issue, or one for which adequate notification was provided. Maybe you need to pay more attention to the timing of what you read, or check your sources before troll commenting -- after the issue has already passed. Friendly was partially re-opened on January 3rd.

Road is still down to one lane. Need stop signs on both sides of single lane.

We will forward this information to Public Works.

Per Public Works: We are working with the contractor to get the routing through the site properly delineated. Our inspector will keep continued vigilance over the project.

The response is appreciated. Prior notification of the road being completely closed, would be good to have as well (and is required???).

The road was completely closed today.
