Given that Ballentine Dairy Road is a state-maintained secondary road, already partially paved, and currently experiencing increased traffic from nearby residential development, I respectfully request that the remaining unpaved section be evaluated for completion paving and placement on the appropriate NCDOT improvement or paving priority list.

Ballentine Dairy Road is vital to our community in Fuquay Varina, NC, primarily as it serves numerous households and supports significant daily traffic, including school buses. This road's current unpaved section poses substantial safety risks, with increased vehicular traffic causing roadway deterioration and creating an unsafe environment for our children traveling to and from school.

Moreover, the unpaved sections generate considerable airborne dust, leading to potential health concerns for residents, including respiratory issues. Consistent traffic on the loose gravel surface not only increases wear on vehicles but also burdens our community with maintenance expenses that could be drastically reduced with proper paving.

Finishing the pavement will enhance road safety, minimize environmental and health hazards, and improve the quality of life for all residents. We urge the North Carolina Department of Transportation to prioritize this matter, considering both current and future community needs as the area continues to develop.

By signing this petition, you are lending your voice to improve our infrastructure, protect our community's health, and ensure safe passage for everyone who uses Ballentine Dairy Road. Let's come together to make a change!
