Mr. Watkins said that portion of the <br /> road north to Orange Grove Road would be resurfaced. <br /> Ms. Josephine Barbour asked if it was proper to ask about signals; Com- <br /> missioner Whitted said this public hearing was properly about the Secondary Road <br /> Improvement Plan for the County but he was sure the DOT officials would talk with <br /> her after the meeting. <br /> With no further persons who wished to comment, Commissioner Whitted declared <br /> the Public Hearing closed. <br /> Commissioner Nillhnit moved, seconded by Commissioner Marshall, the adoption <br /> and approval of the 1982-83 Secondary Road Improvement Plan for Orange County. <br /> Vote: Ayes, 5; noes, O. <br /> Commissioner Gustaveson reminded Mr. Watkins that the Board of Commissioners <br /> had written DOT about the safety concerns at the intersection of Mt. Carmel Church <br /> Road and 15-501 South of Chapel Hill. Mr. Watkins said DOT had investigated the <br /> intersection and agreed that a flashing yellow light would improve the safety <br /> factor and it was on the list of safety improvements requested this year. He <br /> added that a letter to Mr. Dallas supporting the request might be helpful. <br /> Ms. Susan Smith brought to the Board of Commissioners' attention recent <br /> changes in the way DOT classifies roads which changes the way roads are classified <br /> in the Participatory Paving Prugrum, Ms. Smith told the Board these changes <br /> would be on a future agenda for its consideration of the priority list for the <br /> Participatory Paving Program. <br /> 3.
