Safer By Design: Realigning Pine Oak & Waxhaw-Marvin Roads
Pine Oak Road and Waxhaw-Marvin Road meet at a sharp, hard-to-see angle that's been the site of serious crashes, including a fatal one. Construction is now underway to make it safer. In this episode, host Bradley Lucore sits down with Assistant Town Engineer James Kelly to break down what's changing at the intersection, why the current angle is so dangerous, what drivers can expect during the construction process, and how this project fits into Waxhaw's Vision Zero goal of eliminating fatal and severe crashes by 2045.Have a suggestion for future episode topics?

NC-16 Widening: What's Happening, Who's in Charge, and What to Expect
For years, Waxhaw residents have been asking the same question: when is the NC-16 Widening Project actually going to happen? In this episode, host Bradley Lucore sits down with James Kelly, P.E., Traffic-Transportation Project Engineer for the Town of Waxhaw, and representatives from the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) — the agency responsible for the project — to answer that question and set the record straight on who owns what, what the current timeline looks like, and what residents can realistically expect.We break down the difference between what NCDOT controls and what the Town of Waxhaw can and can't influence, where the project stands today, and what comes next before a single lane gets widened.If NC-16 affects your daily commute, your neighborhood, or your business — this episode is for you.
