6. Review Requirements • June 2014 • Plan – June 2013 • All Public Roads as identified in the Certified Public Miles • Dual Carriageway representation • Measured file • OGC Compliant for simple features • Topologically connected

7. Dual Carriageway Representation • Recommended definition from FHWA • Median width is greater or equal to 4 feet • Or Median Type is a positive barrier • A state may have another definition that applies to their business needs. FHWA does not want to interfere with those practices. Joe’s study may flush this out more.

8. Plans • Depending on how the plan results are analyzed, • 60 to 75 percent of states claim they can meet June 2014 due date. • The plans revealed that: • States are looking for detailed guidelines for the task at hand • States are looking for assistance to work with locals • Money is great but management at all levels are not convinced • Resources in the State • Time relative to task is not balanced

9. Deadline Request Extension • FHWA will not formally extend the date of the requirement. • We will take requests to extend the requirement to individual states • Only one state has asked for the extension so far.
