Explanation
§ The Charlotte Department of Transportation (CDOT) operates and maintains a transportation system that includes traffic signals and supporting infrastructure to manage traffic operations throughout the city.
§ CDOT maintains traffic signals at over 900 intersections across the city, many of which are located on state-maintained roadways.
§ The intersection of Sunset Road and Milhaven Lane in Council District 2 is currently signalized but does not include pedestrian signals and crosswalks on all approaches.
§ The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) analyzed traffic at this intersection and approved funding the installation of a crosswalk and associated infrastructure on the east leg of Sunset Road that would complete the pedestrian crossing accommodations at this intersection.
§ The agreement is necessary to formalize NCDOT’s authorization and funding contribution to the work CDOT performs on state-maintained roadways.
§ The format is consistent with past Municipal Agreements between the city and NCDOT.
