We will keep a record of your comments, both oral and <br /> written, and we will fully consider your ideas,comments, and suggestions. <br /> The NCDOT realizes individuals living close to a proposed project want to be informed <br /> of the possible effects of the project on their homes and businesses. However, exact information <br /> is not available at this stage of the planning process. Additional design work is necessary before <br /> the actual right of way limits can be established. More detailed information will be available at a <br /> later date.
