Fast forward to 2014………what would
local government do now?
Did you know that most local governments have a "future" transportation plan showing which roads are needed to be extended, realigned, or widened for "future" traffic needs? If a road is shown to be on your property by a single line, you will be required to set aside right-of-way for this future road IF you want to develop your property.
