Anyone near this intersection ...

      ..............has experienced some aspect of the Dangers it can present.

This spot is a hub for people both in and out of vehicles. It is central to restaurants and shops, It is the gateway for going to the beach, heading to the south end or starting a long slow look for a parking spot.


The Wrightsville Beach Town officials will hold a Public Hearing  at Town Hall  Thursday October 24, 2013 at 6 pm.

****PUBLIC HEARING***** TO RECEIVE INPUT FOR A 2014 SURFACE TRANSPORATION PROGRAM – DIRECT ATTRITUBALE (STP-DA) GRANT APPLICATION FOR INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS TO THE CAUSEWAY DRIVE/WAYNICK AVENUE INTERSECTION AND PEDESTRIAN FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS BETWEEN THIS INTERSECTION AND STONE STREET

The Town of Wrightsville Beach is considering applying for a STP-DA Grant for intersection improvements to the Causeway Drive/Waynick Avenue intersection and for pedestrian improvements between this intersection and Stone Street.  The Town is seeking input on this project.  Attached is a conceptual rendering of those improvements.  The grant application is for $292,000 and requires a match of 20% or $58,400.  The total cost of the project could approach $400,000 due to needed utility improvements in the area. 

Please plan to attend and give your input. Without citizen input, there is little hope for change. This intersection needs safety, logistic and aesthetic improvement. It needs our input and support.

Thanks for reading, hope to see you at the Public Hearing,
