Excerpt from Chadbourn Thoroughfare Plan, 1980 Transportation planning for the Ahoskie area dates back to 1958, when the Town of Ahoskie requested the North Carolina State Highway Commission to develop a plan for future road and street needs in the area. Studies conducted in the early l96o's led to the development of a Preliminary Thorough fare Plan for the Ahoskie area in 1964. This plan was subsequently adopted by the Town of Ahoskie on November 17, 1964, and by the North Carolina State Highway Commission on February 4, 1965. On April 5, 1965, the Town of Ahoskie and the North Carolina State Highway Commission entered into an agreement to develop existing and future travel demand patterns and analyze the 1964 thoroughfare plan based on this data. This study's recommendations were incorporated in a revised thoroughfare plan (map dated December 1, and the Ahoskie Thoroughfare Plan report, February, 1969. In December, 1983, the Ahoskie Town Council requested an update of the 1967 plan. Due to the construction of the NC 11 Bypass, the possible construction of a new Middle School on NC 561 west of Town, and the age of the existing plan it was felt that a plan update would be desirable. In 1984, a comprehensive street system inventory, detailed housing and employment inventories, and area-wide traffic count data was collected. This information was used to develop a set of travel forecast models. This report details the modelling process and plan development procedure used in updating the Ahoskie Area Thoroughfare Plan.
