ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: February 2, 2010 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. (o - ~, <br />_SUBJECT: Orange Count Comprehensive Transportation Plan Update -Options <br />DEPARTMENT: Planning and Inspections PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />1. Triangle Strategic Highway Corridors Karen Lincoln, 245-2594 <br />2. Survey Results for Question 12 Craig Benedict, 245-2592 <br />PURPOSE: To consider continuing or discontinuing development of the Comprehensive <br />Transportation Plan. <br />BACKGROUND: Orange County, in June 2009, approved a resolution endorsing a <br />comprehensive transportation planning study for Orange County to be completed through <br />coordination among the Orange Unified Transportation Board, the Triangle Area Rural Planning <br />Organization and the North Carolina Department of Transportation. In September 2009, <br />Transportation Planning staff with the North Carolina Department of Transportation gave an <br />overview of the Comprehensive Transportation Plan process, in which the North Carolina <br />Strategic Highway Corridors Vision Plan was introduced to the Board. Department of <br />Transportation staff noted that NC 86 to US 70 Bypass West to the I-85/US 70 connector to 1- <br />84/1-40 in Orange County was identified as a North Carolina Strategic Highway Corridor <br />(Attachment 1), with a future design of four lanes with a median. Orange County's <br />Comprehensive Transportation Plan must be consistent with the Strategic Highway Corridors <br />Vision Plan and show NC 86, or another existing or proposed corridor, through northern Orange <br />County as having a future design of four lanes divided by a median in order to be approved by <br />the Board of Transportation and recognized by the North Carolina Department of <br />Transportation. <br />Some commissioners questioned the process the NC Department of Transportation used to <br />develop the Strategic Highway Corridor Vision Plan and the lack of opportunity for Orange <br />County to have input into designating NC 86 north of Hillsborough as a future four-lane divided <br />facility, and noted the County's preference for such improvements to US 70. <br />At the September 2009 meeting, the Board approved release of a survey for public input, with <br />amendments suggested by commissioners, to use in plan development, and directed staff to <br />provide the BOCC with more information/background regarding the proposal for designating NC <br />86 as a Strategic Highway Corridor (Attachment 2). <br />The survey has been completed and North Carolina Transportation Planning staff is ready to <br />begin the study for the deficiency analysis of the transportation network for future travel <br />
