Summary
Staff presented an updated Transportation Improvement Plan that would add a year and about $60 million in projects, including 142 miles of resurfacing and six bridge replacements; the plan is intended as a staff planning document and was later approved by the board.
County transportation staff presented an amended Transportation Improvement Plan that would add roughly $60 million in proposed projects and extend the five-year program by one year.
"We're looking for on $60 million of proposed projects. So, it's a it's a big aggressive program," said Mark while summarizing the plan, which identifies about 142 miles of resurfacing (roughly one-third of the county system over five years) and six bridge replacements intended to address deficient bridges on the county network.
Staff described the plan as a planning tool to prioritize permitting, right-of-way work and project development several years ahead of construction. Commissioners and staff discussed possible intersection improvements and a proposed road exchange with Packegama Township that would swap two county roads in order to rationalize maintenance responsibility and traffic flows.
The board approved the transportation recommendations on a voice vote later in the meeting; staff emphasized the plan remains flexible and will be updated as project details, funding and permitting progress.
