The City of Charles Town hosted a town hall meeting on January 29 to gather community input on the proposed improvements to the three-way intersection of West Washington Street, MLK Jr. Boulevard and Summit Point Road. The City hired a consulting engineer to review the West Virginia Department of Transportation Preliminary Draft Design Study for this intersection. Options in the study included a traffic signal, a roundabout, and several bypass options. The DOT document and the meeting presentation are on the city website (CharlesTownWV.us). The city is encouraging all citizens to voice their opinions. Comments can be emailed to City Manager John Nissel (jnissel@charlestownwv.us).
