The board has launched a survey allowing the public to weigh in on policing priorities to create its 2026 to 2030 strategic plans.

Interior asks public to suggest environmental rules to ax
The Interior Department Friday urged the public to identify which regulations on federal lands should be targeted in the Trump administration's sweeping effort to loosen government oversight of energy, climate and the environment. The agency will publish its formal request Monday for public input on how to 'deconstruct the regulatory burden that has been self-imposed on our Nation's interests,' according to a notice published Friday in the Federal Register. The appeal follows a mandate issued by President Donald Trump shortly after he took office for executive agencies to identify areas where they can deregulate. Advertisement Underscoring the deregulation effort was a separate order from the White House declaring an energy emergency in the nation. That declaration argues that an increase in the production of wind and solar energy, currently accounting for less than 20 percent of the nation's power, is weakening the nation's energy security.

Could East Berlin Road get a roundabout? Open house planned for intersection improvements
An open house is planned to gather public input and share proposals, including a possible roundabout, to improve two intersections near Hampton in Reading Township, PennDOT announced. The proposals focus on improvements to the intersection of East Berlin Road and Peepytown Road, as well as the intersection of East Berlin Road and Stoney Point Road, both of which are in Reading Township. The open house is planned to take place on Thursday, May 8, 2025, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Reading Township Community Center along South Firehouse Alley in Hampton, a release issued by PennDOT shared. In addition, along with the open house, public plan displays will be available online from May 1 to May 30, PennDOT said, along with a 30-day public comment period that will begin when the plans become available for viewing. Both online, and in-person opportunities will introduce the projects, depict potential alternatives, and receive public input, PennDOT shared. At Stoney Point Road, potential improvements could include converting the intersection to a roundabout, relocation of a township-owned portion of the road, or a change of angle for the intersection, according to the release. At Peepytown Road, improvements could consist of a realignment of the intersection to improve safety and traffic flow, PennDOT said. Both improvements will seek to address "geometric deficiencies in the roadway limit sight distance" along East Berlin Road, and will address future growth in traffic demands for the area. The project is currently under the phase of analyzing alternatives, with any work being anticipated to take place in the 2027 construction season, pending approvals and funding availability, PennDOT said. Information on the project will be available online beginning May 1, 2025, at the PennDOT District 8 website, under the tab "Projects Near You" on the left side of the page, and then by clicking District 8 Projects.

Carteret County officials seek public input on transportation expansion
BEAUFORT, N.C. (WNCT) — Officials in Carteret County are working with NCDOT to create a plan for the next three decades and are now asking for public input. Citizens received an up close look at maps of the county's various towns and areas of interest. The maps included proposed changes to help improve transportation in Carteret County long term. 'Tourism is not really counted. When we're looking at these planning projects for D.O.T., we use that the traffic counts for existing traffic throughout the county to determine the numbers and project that forward,' Transportation Director Patrick Flanagan said. 'But it's based on population growth in the area, not necessarily people who come and visit. So this plan is really for the locals and what they want out of their transportation network.' These new plans hope to help all kinds of transportation around the county, including winding roads, adding new bike lanes, and potentially the introduction of a new highway.
