Cary Council Meeting – September 10, 2026

The Cary Town Council meeting on September 10, 2026, included several procurement-related discussions primarily focused on transportation and pedestrian safety improvements. The council reviewed and approved a bid award for the South Cary Water Reclamation Facility UV disinfection improvement project and contracts for janitorial maintenance services. A significant agenda item was the discussion of a pedestrian safety issue at a crosswalk near Symphony Lake Greenway, where a fatal crash occurred. The council considered a motion to implement a temporary rectangular rapid flashing beacon as an interim safety solution, with an estimated budget of approximately $50,000, while awaiting a permanent pedestrian hybrid beacon installation funded by NCDOT in 2028. The council emphasized the importance of addressing immediate safety concerns without waiting for the longer-term project and discussed funding mechanisms and coordination with NCDOT. Additionally, the meeting included public comments on transit services and local smoking ordinances, but the primary procurement focus was on transportation infrastructure and safety enhancements.
