Transportation Projects: Quarterly Reports & Public/Private Partnerships



In support of the Morrisville Town Council's focus on transportation infrastructure, our staff now provides quarterly updates on active and recently completed transportation projects. Of significance in our July update: on-the-horizon improvements to Morrisville-Carpenter Rd and its intersection with Davis Dr. Approved for submittal to CAMPO by the Town Council in late 2010, the $1.16M of pedestrian and road improvements will be paid for using STP-DA (Surface Transportation Program Direct Allocation) funds, Grace Park development funds and town general funds. This is good news for our taxpayers: our local contribution for this regionally significant project amounts to about 8% of the total cost.

Hats off to all who worked effectively on this creative funding of needed improvements!
