• I <br /> Presently,the following projects have been identified: <br /> 1. South Churton Street widening <br /> 2. Orange Grove Road extension to US 70 A <br /> 3. Alignment of Orange Grove Road and Eno Mountain Road <br /> NCDOT has conceptually agreed to share the model that was created to analyze the impacts of <br /> the Brady project. This model contains finer grain information than the regional model. The <br /> information about employment and population is current. <br /> The Town understands that Orange County wished to discuss this jointly. It is the Town's <br /> interest to see whether Orange County would be able to assist financially with additional traffic <br /> studies that may be needed to identify the range of projects included in the"swap." <br /> The Town is just beginning to investigate all the necessary steps to make this"swap"possible. It <br /> is a fiirther interest of the Town to maintain the Brady project as a priority until there is a clear <br /> understanding with the State about any swap so the funds are not allocated to another project and <br /> the timeframe for improvements is unnecessarily extended. <br /> As the MPO is currently preparing the priority list for submittal to NCDOT for the future TIP, <br /> there is roughly one year's time to identify a range of projects and work out details of a"swap" <br /> before the new TIP is finalized. <br />
