The Anniston City Council on Tuesday approved changes to Greenbrier Dear Rd that will see the speed limit reduced to 35 m.p.h. in the near future. According to Public Works Director Bob Dean at Tuesday’s public council meeting, the change was made to comply with safety requirements that are part of a larger project on the road connecting South Anniston with the Golden Springs area.
City Engineer Kevin Ashley said by phone Wednesday that the safety improvements are still in design phase. He says work will be done on Greenbrier Dear Rd between Hillyer Robinson Industrial Pkwy and Christine Ave. The work will include resurfacing the roadway and addressing elevation issues in the largest curve on the west side of the area commonly known as Greenbriar Mountain.
Possible changes may also occur at the road’s intersection with Nocoseka Trl at the top of the hill, with Dean saying on Tuesday the flashing caution light “is currently being looked at.”
The project is being funded by a Metropolitan Planning Organization grant. According to Ashley, the project is estimated to cost around $591,000 with federal money covering 80 percent of the total cost through the MPO grant. The other 20 percent, or about $118,000, will come from the City of Anniston.
Councilman Seyram Selase said he has received numerous complaints about the dangers on Greenbrier Dear Rd and thanked the Public Works department for working to make the road safer.
Dean expects the resurfacing project to be completed sometime next year.
