Caroline County delays decision on Secondary Six‑Year Road Plan as officials seek more study and data
Summary
County members reviewed the draft Secondary Six‑Year Plan for 2027–2032, heard a Port Royal request for a dynamic Route 301 traffic signal and a long‑term bypass study, and voted to table a formal recommendation until the next meeting while staff verifies eligibility and funding details.
The Chair opened new business on the county’s draft Secondary Six‑Year Plan for 2027–2032 and asked staff to summarize available funding and recent projects. Staff member explained the plan shows $89,444 programmed for fiscal 2027 and a projected total of $544,702 through 2032 under the Secondary Six‑Year Plan.
Why it matters: those funding totals determine whether Caroline County can program a project now or must let the funds accumulate; unpaid‑road bond money can only pay for paved‑road work, while the more flexible telecommunications fees can be used on secondary‑system projects.
Staff member said the plan identifies one completed project from last year — turn lanes on Double Jump Road at its intersection with Route 207 near the high school — and described the accounting columns that show money available from previous years. “What that column is showing is the funding that’s available from previous years…you got $5,888 between the two funding sources that’s still available in this fiscal year,” the staff member said.
