DOT proposes functional-class changes; board to consider resolution next month

Aug 14, 2026

DOT proposed functional-class updates for local roads — including four additions and upgrades in front of schools to 'major collector' — and the board was told the item will return next month for a formal vote because the packet arrived too recently to act on now.

The full story

Highway staff presented a packet of DOT functional-class proposed changes and explained the rear map shows the current functional classification while the front shows the proposed changes. Staff said the DOT review happens every 10 years and that the proposed changes add four roads and upgrade some segments in front of schools to 'major collector,' which may make those roads eligible for additional funding programs such as STP when repairs are needed.
