Milton's City Council has a full agenda set for Wednesday, stepping away from their typical Monday meet-ups due to the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. Among the items on the docket, there's a focus on transportation projects, including proposed enhancements to Cox and Green Roads, as reported by the City of Milton official website. The session will be held at City Hall's Council Chambers at 6 p.m., offering residents the choice to attend in person or stream the proceedings online.
The proposed improvements to key intersections like the junction of Cox Road, Ebenezer, and Etris roads could see a new roundabout intended to ease traffic congestion and boost safety. The Council is also looking to support a funding application for the preliminary engineering phase for another potential roundabout at the intersection of SR 372/Crabapple Road, and Green Road. These measures, along with the standard business of janitorial service agreements and basketball court refinishing, promise to shape Milton’s infrastructure in the coming months.
On the development front, the Council will review a proposal for a mixed-use project on a roughly 25-acre site at 13010 Morris Road. The plans highlight residential units, townhouses, loft apartments, and commercial space—elements that, according to documentation on the city's website, require a Use Permit due to their classification under the T6-Deerfield Form-Based Code. An earlier discussion at a Community Zoning Information Meeting and unanimous Design Review Board and Planning Commission recommendations have laid the groundwork, but no official vote will occur until a subsequent meeting.
The Council will also kick off the public hearing for a 5-year update to Milton’s Comprehensive Plan, guided by the Department of Community Affairs regulations. The update seeks to integrate recent studies, refine economic and demographic data, and establish a fresh roster of short-term projects. For residents wishing to participate in shaping Milton's trajectory over the coming decades, additional public meetings and information sessions are on the horizon, with more specifics available through the city's planning portal.
