Title

Resolutions of Support for US 1A Designation Removal and US 70 Rerouting

Shelby Powell, MPO Staff

 

Body

As NCDOT prepares to make changes to several highway facility names in the region, the MPO has been requested to provide resolutions of support for these changes. The NCDOT proposes to remove the US 1A designation of the facility through Franklinton from US 1 south of town to US 1 north of town, primarily to assist with ability to control truck traffic through downtown Franklinton.

 

NCODT also proposes to reroute US 70 in Johnston County to eliminate coinciding routes and simplify signing and directional messaging for the traveling public as I-42 comes online in the region along the existing US 70 corridor.

 

Resolutions of support for these actions are attached.

 

Requested Action: Action Adopt the Resolutions of Support as attached.
