North Carolina DOT Adopt A Highway Program Fail

Posted on 03:11 by baba ji
You've seen the signs "Adopt A Highway" followed then with the name of some Nationwide Inurance agent or other local business.



But the North Carolina DOT program is a hoax and a waste of taxpayer money. 

Certainly there are some groups who really do sweep clean their section of road every quarter and file a report detailing the amount and types of trash they pick up.

But the "Charlotte Royals Rugby Football Club" hasn't once in fifteen years picked up so much as a cigarette butt along Rea Road. Then there is Showbiz Pizza which hasn't been in business since 2002, yet they have a sign on Highway 51 that fronts the Carmel Commons shopping center where the business was once located.

NCDOT needs to collect the signs and use the proceeds from the scrap to fix a few pot holes.

Beyond the budget and your wasted tax dollars, the state program competes with Charlotte's program by placing most of the city's major roadways off limits for the City of Charlotte's Adopt A Street program.

Calls to Mecklenburg County Adopt A Highway coordinator Jeanene McCann were not returned.
