Explanation
§ In December 2010, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) adopted the North Carolina Public Art on the Right of Way Policy, allowing public art on its transportation facilities under certain parameters.
§ One of the requirements of the policy is that a local resolution be adopted requesting the placement or installation of art.
§ Due to the high level of community interest in public art, many future opportunities for art in NCDOT right of way exist.
§ Projects proposed within NCDOT right of way will follow the same approval processes as those within city-maintained right of way.
§ Public art projects within city-maintained and NCDOT-maintained right of way will both be reviewed either by the Beautification Bureau or the Public Art Commission, depending upon the scale.
§ Membership of both groups consists of City Council appointees.
§ This resolution will align the processes for city and NCDOT art approvals, and it will satisfy NCDOT’s requirement for local resolutions in support of public art projects within NCDOT right of way.
