The Department of Transportation encourages motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians to bring us their concerns regarding travel on the state maintained roadway system. There are many factors that can affect permanent alterations in traffic patterns and roadway navigational characteristics, and we welcome concerned citizens, such as yourself, to bring these changing needs to our attention. E-mail addresses are offered as quick-links on our website, so please don't hesitate to take advantage of the convenience.
If your contact with the Department is not acknowledged within 5 business days, please don't be shy about contacting us again.
Telephone calls, letters and e-mails are, most often, acknowledged by the appropriate District office in the same format in which they are originally received. If the issue has no immediate resolve, you will be advised by staff when to reasonably expect the study and recommendations to be complete. Based on scheduling resources and prioritizing case load, the answer may take as little as 60 to 90 days to be available to you.
