The petition may be obtained from the County Manager’s Office and returned there when completed. The petition is then placed on a Board of Commissioners’ meeting agenda. Following Board approval, the request is submitted to North Carolina Department of Transportation for investigation and processing. NCDOT will correspond to the first name on the petition regarding their decision.
