Gold Mine Road <br />Mike Mills said that Mt. Carmel Church Road has a lot of traffic with somewhat narrow <br />pavement and no shoulders. The proposal is to improve this road with widened shoulders and <br />intersection improvements. This will cost about $475,000. <br />Commissioner Jacobs thanked Chuck Edwards for his participation in the Cornelius <br />Road project. He asked about Walker Farm Road and said that there were some citizens that <br />did not want to give the right-of-way. He asked if these were the same people that want to give <br />the right-of-way now and Mike Mills said yes. There is an agreement to save as many trees as <br />passible. <br />Commissioner Jacobs asked about the trust fund safety improvements for Mt. Carmel <br />Church Road. He asked how DOT determines which roads get top priority for safety road <br />improvements. Mike Mills said that he has received calls from Chapel Hill about this road and <br />there have been some accidents. He said that they are going to start concentrating an the <br />secondary paved system. Some of the considerations are accident history, runoffs, narrow <br />shoulders, amount of traffic, etc. He said that mare information will be coming back to the <br />County Commissioners about the paved road program and NCDOT welcomes comments from <br />the Board of County Commissioners and the public. <br />Commissioner Jacobs said that the Fire Chief's Council is a good place to start for <br />suggestions on the trouble spots in the County. <br />
