The N. Highland Lake Road project (STIP project no. U-5887) was not initiated by NCDOT and the Flat Rock village council has the power to stop it.
To explain their decision to continue with the NCDOT process, the Flat Rock village council released a FAQ sheet. CLG:Flat Rock has reviewed this information and found several inconsistencies between the FAQ and our understanding of what the road project entails. Our series on these inconsistencies clarifies some of these areas:
- Inconsistency #1: Either/or
- Inconsistency #2: Road project footprint
- Inconsistency #3: Trusting NCDOT (part 1)
- Inconsistency #4: Trusting NCDOT (part 2)
- Inconsistency #5: Crash data (part 1)
- Inconsistency #6: Crash data (part 2)
- Inconsistency #7: Where did all the trees go? (part 1)
- Inconsistency #8: Where did all the trees go? (part 2)
- Inconsistency #9: Why a multiuse path?
