67 Where an alternative facility requiring equal or lesser right-of-way is deemed to perform on an equal or better basis with concurrence by the Integrated Mobility Division, NCDOT shall construct the alternative facilities no cost share by the local jurisdiction. 6.2 Maintenance Bicycle and pedestrian improvements within a municipal boundary are subject to local maintenance. A local maintenance agreement will be executed prior to the completion of a construction project. In instances where a local maintenance agreement is not executed to maintain a bicycle or pedestrian facility, NCDOT will maintain the facility after construction if the bicycle or pedestrian facility lies within NCDOT right-of-way. 6.3 Betterment A roadway project betterment is defined as: • A requested bicycle, pedestrian or public transportation improvement that exceeds the recommendations appearing in a state or locally adopted plan requiring additional roadway width and/or right-of-way • Aesthetic materials and treatments, if this cost is determined to exceed the cost of standard construction materials • Landscaping in excess of standard treatments • Lighting in excess of standard treatments The additional costs associated with inclusion of these elements in a roadway project are the responsibility of the local jurisdiction, executed through a local agreement. 6.4 Betterment Cost Share Formula Bicycle and pedestrian facilities incidental to a roadway project where a need has been identified through the project scoping process but not identified in a locally adopted plan may be included in the project. Inclusion of these incidental facilities requires the local jurisdiction to share the incremental cost of constructing the identified improvements. NCDOT will estimate the incremental cost of proposed improvements. The percentage of the total cost share for these improvements will be based on the table below according to the population of the jurisdiction in the most recent annual certified estimated of population as determined by the state demographer, and executed through a local agreement.
