Topics getting the most attention in Laurinburg public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Speed bumps request on Midland Way
Residents asked for speed bumps; staff and the city attorney say liability rules don't support them in 35 mph zones, and lowering speed limits citywide isn't on the table. Expect more signage and police patrols instead.

Long-awaited sidewalks along Atkinson Street, West Boulevard, and Main Street may finally happen, with the feds paying 80 percent. But the plans could require cutting beloved oak trees on Atkinson and West Boulevard, and council members are urging residents to review the plans.
