a county can be greatly effected by the transportation plan. They
try to anticipate the problems that may occur with traffic and plan
for them.
The long-range transportation plan is for twenty-five years.
They believe this is what will be necessary in this county during
this twenty-five year period. Every eight to twelve years the
State looks at the plan again and revises it according to the
growth patterns that have occurred.
Mr. McDonald said they considered input from the county
commissioners, the planning board and from the public in making
this plan. He presented comments from the meeting where the public
had input into the planning process.
Mr. McDonald outlined the projects that are in the draft
report. He anticipates more lanes for traffic on the strategic
highways in the county, such as the interstates and the other main
highways. This is listed in the Transportation Plan.
Commissioner Hamby inquired about the U. S. 70 feasibility
study. Mr. McDonald said this is usually done within one to two
years after planning. The decision has been made that the traffic
is congested in the area, Mr. McDonald said. The feasibility study
looks at the options for alleviating the problem. Mr. McDonald
said he would forward Mrs. Hamby a copy of the study when it is
completed.
Chairman Haire inquired about the access road off Langtree
Road onto I-77. Mr. McDonald said the proposed interchange that is
a part of the Davidson -Cornelius Circumferential lists this in the
program. The time schedule for this project is right-of-way
protection design. The TIP is a seven-year document, so that means
that construction is not planned for the coming seven-year period,
Mr. McDonald said.
Chairman Haire closed the public hearing.
