The steady and continuing growth that the town has experienced has led to exciting new additions for entertainment, dining, and shopping. However, it has also led to congestion and increased travel times at our busiest intersections and at peak times.
Transportation planning and construction is a complex arrangement that involves the Town, NCDOT, the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization, the Federal Highway Administration, and private developers (read about our Partners). All of these organizations are constantly evaluating transportation needs and mechanisms for improvement through long range planning and adoption of roadway plans.
Other than the taxes and fees paid by our citizens and developers, the Town does not receive any funding for road construction. This means that the Town has to be judicious with our efforts and we have to leverage our own funding with funding available from NCDOT and the Federal Highway Administration.
