Clemmons council approves street renaming, continues TPO membership, appoints planning board member and discusses signage and events

On Feb. 23, 2026, the Village of Clemmons Council handled several routine but community-facing items.

Street renaming: Assistant Manager Amy White described a requested street-name change tied to the Jasper Meadows development, asking the council to rename the stub street Dunmore Court to Michelle Drive "all the way through to its intersection with Dunmore Lane," with the Jasper Meadows plat to reflect the name change. Speaker 3 moved to approve Resolution 2026-R-1 renaming Dunmore Court to Michelle Drive; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously.

Transportation planning: Amy White summarized the village's continued participation in the Winston-Salem Area Transportation Planning Organization (TPO), noting TPO staff had briefed the council at the recent retreat. The council approved Resolution 2026-R-2 to continue cooperative and comprehensive transportation planning participation.

Appointments: Planner Moore recommended appointing Dave Korn (a current member of the board of adjustment) to the planning board; Speaker 3 moved to appoint Korn and the council approved the appointment unanimously.

Signage and branding: Council member Speaker 3 asked staff to investigate three signage topics: adding "end of city services" markers on under-signed western streets, identifying locations suitable for large DOT-style town-limit signs on major thoroughfares (examples cited: Styers Ferry, Peace Haven, Hampton Road), and producing an estimate for phased, enhanced branded signs on main corridors. Council reached consensus to have staff explore options and return with cost estimates and design suggestions.

Community events and reports: Marketing Specialist Maddie Marion outlined ongoing and upcoming community events including Neighbors Helping Neighbors to support the Clemmons Food Pantry, Shamrock Shenanigans on the Village Point Greenway, For Site Creek Week events in March, Wheels and Squeals vehicle event, and the Clemmons Farmers Market accepting 2026 applicants.

Budget retreat scheduling and adjournment: Manager Gannell proposed keeping the budget retreat but moving the start time to allow more discussion; council settled on 2 p.m. on April 27. After brief council comments, the council adjourned.

All actions described above passed by unanimous voice vote during the meeting.
