City Council - May 5, 2026
A 20-year-old plan routes an arterial roadway (a Friendship Lane extension) through land near Goehmann Lane. The developer wanted to build without the road and asked for an alternate route; after no alternate was proposed, the council denied the plat. Neighbors on Goehmann Lane fear losing land and historic properties if the route shifts their way.
