Obviously this person does not have a concious or he/she would have turned themselves in by now. Thats sad.
I went to the school after this happened and asked them what I needed to do and the receptionist at the school said that I had to fill out the form (which I did) and then they submit it to the people who decide where the bus stops should be. At least this would be a good start. I had heard the same thing about busses not being able to turn around in our subdivision and that is why the stop is where it is. However, I have seen tractor trailers in our subdivision and if they can turn around so can a bus....not to mention we have 4 cul de sacs. If a driver can't figure out how to turn around in our subdivision they have no business driving a bus.
It's not "quite" like that. Just about all new subdivisions are built to NCDOT road standards. There are a few instances where everything will be private and roads maintained by the HOA, as mentioned, but that is becoming more and more rare. Roads that are built to NCDOT standards, for subdivisions, are just that. However, DOT will not take over the road until 75-80% of the houses on that road are sold. Not built, but sold. Once the required amount of houses are sold, the developer petitions NCDOT to take the roads over. Forms are filed, right-of-way is given, access agreements are signed by the developer and the utility companies and then everything is finalized. Its a pretty long process actually. Even once the houses are sold and the developer submits the paperwork, it will still take several months before DOT can take the roads over. Once they do, then buses can use the roads.
I'm not arguing with what you've said. But in our neighborhood it was already completely built and established, the house we bought was 5 yrs old - and we were told that the buses would not come in due to the rds. No improvements were made, but for whatever reason, as of last yr - now they do.
Just because the subdivision is established and all houses are sold in it, does not mean the developer then turns around, right then, and files and completes all necessary paperwork. Maybe your developer was just lazy, dunno.
It's a Son-Lan development - so that should tell you something :lol: So, the house we bought was 5yrs old - we've been in it 8 yrs - so it took them approx. 13 yrs to get it approved...:mrgreen:
Oh...well thats an easy one. They were waiting until the population of the subdivision was 99% people from NY and NJ before they got the roads taken over. :lol: Actually dont know on that one. Sometimes they do take a while to get DOT to take the roads over. Best way to tell was to look at your road signs before the buses ran and afterwards. See if there is an SR number on the sign.
That's great news!!!! :hurray::hurray: I'm sending vibes and prayers to help her heal quickly and get her life back to normal. And I know we're all still SUV hunting. :evil:
I'm surprised they haven't found the person yet. It's likely somebody that lives in the area - who else drives on McLemore Rd? And either they're still driving around without a passenger side mirror, or they've had it replaced. I wonder if they have checked the parts stores, repair shops, junkyards?
I thought for sure they'd have a "traffic stop" on Raleigh Rd/McLemore Rd/Polenta/Sanders by now, just to see if they can catch this person.
I thought that usually in these types of cases the police send alerts to the repair shops and stuff? I sure hope so!
