After talks with DOT, Indian Trail staff reports much smaller town share for complete-streets sidewalks, but signal pole betterments increase town cost Staff reported progress on the Indian Trail Road complete-streets project: NCDOT will cover most multiuse-path and sidewalk costs, leaving the town responsible for requested metal signal-pole betterments and a reduced sidewalk share (about $55,000 total reported); staff will return with a formal agreement for the BA phase.

Negotiations with NCDOT have dramatically reduced Indian Trail's sidewalk costs to just $55,000, but new metal signal pole upgrades could change the game!

Town staff reports big change: DOT to pick up multi-use path cost; council to cover pole/feature betterments Staff outlined negotiated reductions in town betterment costs for the Old Monroe complete-streets project after discussions with NCDOT: DOT will cover the 10-foot multi-use path, lowering the town's sidewalk share to an estimated $55,000, but the town is still being asked to fund metal powder-coated signal poles and cosmetic features estimated in the low hundreds of thousands.

Significant savings are on the horizon for Indian Trail as the DOT steps in to fund the multi-use path, slashing the town's costs dramatically!
