Overview

Staff have been directed by Town Council to evaluate renaming a portion of Green Level West Road to High House Road. Staff will reach out  to key stakeholders, host a neighborhood feedback meeting, and then present findings at a Town Council public hearing.

Please review this FAQ sheet if your property is located along the Green Level West Road corridor.

Background

On March 9, 2023, staff presented their initial report to Town Council on the process of renaming
portions of Green Level West Road to High House Road. Today, the singular road segment spanning from downtown Cary to Chatham County has three names: High House Road, Green Level West Road, and Green Level Road.

Maintaining one street name across as much of the High House Road corridor as possible will help to maintain an organized and continuous street network and will provide clarity to residents and service delivery providers.

Town Council directed staff to review renaming the segment of Green Level West Road from NC 55 Hwy to Green Level Church Road.

In keeping with Standard Procedure 96, Council will host a public hearing on the selected proposals before making a final decision on the renaming. Prior to the public hearing, staff will solicit citizen feedback and prepare a report summarizing their findings on the fiscal and community impact of renaming this portion of Green Level West Road.
