J. Dyer Letters (13) of 2/19/99 Extension 2595 <br />- Secondary Road Addition\Abandonment Reports (13) <br />- Vicinity Maps (13) TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough -732-8181 <br />Durham -688-7331 <br />Mebane -227-2031 <br />Chapel Hill -967-9251 <br />PURPOSE: To consider petitions submitted by NCDOT for addition and abandonment of <br />maintenance portions of 13 State - maintained secondary roads. <br />BACKGROUND: Realignment of portions of 13 State - maintained secondary roads in Orange <br />County has resulted in new sections being added and existing sections of those <br />roads being abandoned for maintenance. Copies of letters, forms for addition <br />(SR -4) and abandonment (SR -5), along with maps are included for the following <br />roads: Bunny Road, Atkins Road, Yates Road, Wagoner Dairy Road, Millikan <br />Road, Frank Perry Road, Schley Road, Baldwin Road, Bacon Road, Bill Poole <br />Road, Lebanon Road, Doc Corbett Road, and Bennett Road. <br />NCDOT has already straightened out and improved some of the curves on the <br />above mentioned roads. Now they want to: 1) assume the maintenance <br />responsibilities for the new sections of roadways, and 2) abandon the <br />maintenance responsibilities for those sections of old roadway that have been <br />restored to grass sections. This is an administrative action needed to document <br />NC DOT's responsibility for maintenance for those areas that have been <br />improved. The work has already been done, no decisions are required other than <br />to approve NC DOT's request to maintain the new roadways and to not maintain <br />the new grassy areas. <br />RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the above - referenced petitions for <br />addition and abandonment of maintenance. <br />
