Town staff will include and update on the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources Department’s system signage and the need to coordinate wayfinding efforts to meet NCDOT requirements. The preferred design concepts, along with the original concepts, will be reviewed and discussed with Council. Staff will seek Council direction on project next steps.

D. Council discussion and direction

Town of Cary work sessions are less formal business meetings that enable the Council to focus on and explore in detail a single topic with staff and consultants. Like regular meetings of the Council, citizens are encouraged to attend and observe work sessions. Please do note that unlike regular Town Council meetings, Council work sessions do not include public hearings or other opportunities for citizen comment during the meeting.
