Book Description

Excerpt from Thoroughfare Plan Report for Pender County, North Carolina, 1998 A well planned transportation system is an asset to the economic and social well being of a growing community. It provides the means to transport people and goods from one place to another quickly and conveniently. A good system must not only meet existing travel demands, but must also keep pace with the development of the region. This report will set a system of major roads and highways required to satisfy the anticipated needs of Pender County for the next twenty five years. Certain priorities shall be established in the development of the thoroughfare system. These priorities will be based on maintenance needs, bridge inadequacies, poor alignments, and insufficient present and future roadway capacities. The proposed Pender County Thoroughfare Plan was developed following the basic principles of thoroughfare planning as described in Chapter 3 of this report. The plan recommends those improvements that are felt to be essential for proper traffic circulation within the 1995 - 2020 planning period. Most of the proposed improvements will be the responsibility of the North Carolina Department of Transportation. However, Pender County can provide assistance in the implementation of the plan through subdivision regulations and zoning ordinances. It will be desirable for the plan to be formally adopted by both the County Commissioners and the North Carolina Department of Transportation to serve as a official guide in providing a well coordinated, adequate, and economical major thoroughfare system.
