By now, you have likely seen the progress (finally!) being made at the island entrance on Brush Creek and Rockhill Road. Initially, the project was moving along nicely, but it stalled when our main point of contact within the city moved to a different job. The city is on a hiring freeze, so unfortunately, weeks turned into months as our continued outreach went unanswered for a while. We now have that project nearing completion, and I believe it will serve to announce the entrance to Rockhill in a beautiful way. The full completion is expected in the coming week.

Our second traffic-calming island at the intersection of Brush Creek and Charlotte has begun construction! The new island is a strategic addition toward our twin objectives of slowing traffic throughout the neighborhood while also enhancing the historic beauty of Rockhill. Once the island is built, we can begin discussions about how best to design the interior landscaping, but for now, we are excited that one of our most important boulevards (Brush Creek) will now be balanced with two lovely islands on either end to announce the neighborhood in a significant way.
