NCDOT, <br />in compliance with NCGS 136-44.8, has posted a County map in the Orange County <br />Courthouse and the Southern Human Services Center showing tentative secondary road paving <br />projects. NCDOT also published notice of the public hearing in county newspapers (The Chapel <br />Hill News, The News of Orange, and The Mebane Enterprise). <br />NCDOT is nearing completion of the program's initial intent of paving all unpaved roads having <br />public rights-of-way. NCDOT proposes in the 2011-2012 Secondary Roads Improvement <br />Program improvements to paved secondary roads to upgrade the secondary road system <br />safety, functionality and overall operational efficiency, without adding capacity. <br />The 2009-2010 allocation for Orange County secondary roads totals $487,943 and the 2010- <br />2011 allocation totals $2,556,013 for a grand total of $3,043,956. The allocation includes: <br />I. Rural Paving Priority (7 road segments - 1.19 miles) $ 327,250 <br />II. General Secondary Road Improvements, Paved Road Improvements $ 2,675,000 <br />IV. Surveying, right-of-way acquisition, additions, contingencies, <br />overdrafts, etc. $ 41,706 <br />Total $3,043,956 <br />
