She added a <br />question from Commissioner Mark Marcoplos regarding the new NC 86 bridge <br />over 1 -85; and a discussion about communications with the southern part of the <br />County (Chapel Hill and Carrboro). <br />RIGHT -OF -WAY TOPICS <br />a) Public right -of -way dedication of Strouds Creek Road at Pathways <br />Elementary (New Issue) (Chuck Edwards, Craig Benedict) <br />Chuck Edwards stated that the road is only served by an easement, not right - <br />of -way. The solution was to have the owner of the property sign a right -of- <br />way agreement with NCDOT. When this agreement is recorded NCDOT can <br />move forward with the road to serve Pathways Elementary. <br />Craig Benedict noted that the right -of -way dedication is needed for the road <br />and the school. The present easement situation preceded the subdivision <br />construction. The road is stubbed out and there is potential for a northern <br />connection. <br />Status: Private road easement to public dedication (Craig Benedict/NCDOT) <br />b) Road Additions to the State Maintained System (Updates) ( Abigaile Pittman, <br />Chuck Edwards) <br />53 <br />
