Public Comments on Highway Projects Being Received

If you're happy with the progress on highway projects by the North Carolina Dept. of Transportation, there's no reason for you to read this message.  If you're not, you may want to provide feedback to the Gaston-Cleveland-Lincoln Metropolitan Planning Organization.

The Gaston-Cleveland-Lincoln Metropolitan Planning Organization (GCLMPO) has established a public comment period for review of four separate documents:

  • 2020-2029 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (TIP) AMENDMENTS
  • DRAFT 2024-2033 TIP
  • 2050 METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN (MTP) AMENDMENTS
  • DRAFT AIR QUALITY CONFORMITY DETERMINATION REPORT
The documents are now available for review and public comments are being received.

The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) identifies the transportation projects that GCLMPO and NCDOT plan to undertake over the next ten years. The Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) is the long-range, fiscally-constrained plan that defines the transportation network that will serve both present and projected volumes of vehicular traffic, public transportation use, bicycle, pedestrian, aviation and freight travel in and around the urban area. Federal regulations require the TIP and MTP to be consistent with the NCDOT’s State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). In addition, an air quality conformity determination is required due to the Clean Air Act’s requirement that an MPO’s plans and programs conform to the purpose of the state implementation plan (SIP) for achieving air quality standards. 

Copies of all documents and maps for the plans referenced are available for review  in the Gastonia Planning Department located on the 2nd floor of the Garland Business Center - 150 South York Street in Gastonia. Additional information can be obtained by visiting the MPO’s website at https://gclmpo.org/get-involved/comment-on-a-project/ 

The public may also provide comments during the GCLMPO TCC Meeting on Wednesday, May 10, 2023 at 10:00 AM and the Board Meeting on Thursday, May 25, 2023 at 6:30 PM.

Written comments may also be sent by mail, email, or fax to the following address:

Gaston-Cleveland-Lincoln MPO
Attn: Randi Gates, Principal Transportation Planner
PO Box 1748
Gastonia, NC 28053
