the northwest side of Jones Ferry Road (SR 1942) between the intersections of Jones Ferry Road
with Carolina Forest Road and Ferguson Road.
NCDOT has investigated the request (see attached Secondary Road Addition Report) and has
submitted the petition to the Board of Commissioners for its review and approval. The Board must
take an administrative action to approve the petitions to NCDOT in order for NCDOT to accept Mel -
Oak Drive and Mel -Oaks Trail into the State Maintenance Program.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact associated with this decision item.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Administration recommends that the Board approve the request to
add Mel -Oak Drive and Mel -Oaks Trail to the State Secondary Road Maintenance Program.
