Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Pelham public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Commerce Boulevard water main replacement
A bid from Gillespie Construction, LLC to replace aging PVC water main pipes along Commerce Boulevard and Commerce Circle was headed to the council for action. It would affect water service reliability for homes and businesses in that area.
2026 Street Resurfacing Project
The paving bid came in under budget, so the council added streets planned for next year into this year's project, shrinking the eight-year paving plan to six years.
Railroad Crossing Closures
CSX is closing some Pelham railroad crossings in July, but the city got the work staggered so traffic won’t be a total mess. If your usual route crosses the tracks, plan ahead for detours and extra drive time.
