HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93011_1026were "blocked out." She said this was because the plan was for the county. Dosse said
the boundaries of the urban areas were current, but all three were in the process of being
updated.
Questions were then asked and Dosse responded as follows:
• Are dates given for the road changes?
Dosse: The plan is basically just recommendations. She said every two years
the Transportation Improvement Priority list was developed, but it was the local officials
who compiled the document. She said the list (TIP) was then submitted to the state
board. Dosse said the 14 -member -state board decided on the projects, and this was the
group that needed to be lobbied for improvements. She said the Regional Planning
Organization (RPO) also worked on the needs.
• When will the next update for the county occur?
Dosse: This depends -- in the past it was every ten years. It varies from
county to county. She said the entities (counties/municipalities) could discuss update
needs with the RPOs. She said the RPOs made a list every year for the NCDOT.
Dosse was encouraged to help remedy the dangerous situation at I-40 and
Highway 21 where people had to accelerate and then immediately decelerate to come off
the interstate.
Chairman Tice said she understood the CTP was a plan that could be altered as
conditions required. She asked if there were dates for the Brawley School Road
improvements.
Dosse said Chairman Tice was correct about the CTP. She said in regards to the
Brawley School Road question, she did not have an answer.
Chairman Tice said the county's TIP listed the I -40/I-77 interchange as the
number one priority followed by the Brawley School Road. Tice said she understood the
work on I -40/I-77 had been delayed three to five years due to the costs.
