Department of Transportation(NCDOT)to review <br /> and update the names of roads on the State's secondary road system for counties in the <br /> MPO. The MPO has supplied the requisite materials to member counties for review. <br /> The original list supplied by NCDOT contained numerous errors and archaic road names. <br /> Planning staff obtained a more up-to-date list from the NCDOT District Office in <br /> Graham and was granted an extension of the January 13 deadline by Dan Thomas of <br /> NCDOT Statewide Planning to allow more time to work with the new list. <br /> Planning staff compared the NCDOT listing with in-house resources (maps and road <br /> listings created as part of the countywide addressing project) and compiled proposed <br /> corrections as noted in the attachments. The NCDOT list covers all state secondary <br /> roads in the County(rural as well as urban). Staff compiled the revised list by planning <br /> jurisdiction and to the best of our knowledge, what we have shown for the towns is <br /> correct. However, we have supplied copies to the respective towns and asked that they <br /> inform NCDOT of any corrections as well as sending us copies for our files. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the proposed road name corrections <br /> in County planning jurisdiction and forwarding to the DCHC MPO for transmittal <br /> to NCDOT. <br />
