NCDOT TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM <br /> The Board considered endorsing the proposed transportation <br /> system improvement requests from Orange County and the Towns of Chapel <br /> Hill, Carrboro and Hillsborough. The N.C. Board of Transportation <br /> adopts annually a multi-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) <br /> outlining needed transportation improvements and the method and schedule <br /> for funding such projects. The Board of Transpor-tation will conduct <br /> a series of meetings around the State to obtain advice from local <br /> officials and citizens on needed improvements. <br /> Commissioner Willhoit suggested adding to the request from <br /> Orange County or the City of Hillsborough's plan a request to provide <br /> stormwater Best Management Practices along I-40 and I-85 in the <br /> watershed III designation or higher. He also recommended that the <br /> County not endorse the widening of 15-501 from Morgan Creek to the <br /> County line until a southern connector between 15-501 and I-40 is <br /> provided in the CIP. Discussion ensued and Commissioner Gordon <br /> disagreed with the second suggestion stating that the connector needs <br /> to be in Chatham County instead of Orange County. <br /> Motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by <br /> Chairman Carey to add to the CIP a request to provide stormwater BMP's <br /> along I-40 and I-85 in the watershed III designation or higher. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> Motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by <br /> Chairman Carey to not approve the widening of 15-501 from Morgan Creek <br /> to the County line until a southern connector between 15-501 and I-40 <br /> is provided. <br /> VOTE: AYES, 4; NOES, 1 (Commissioner Gordon) <br /> G.
