Additional Infrastructure Improvements <br />Orange County also requests the following infrastructure improvements <br />regarding two structures: <br />a.

Comments On Other TIP Projects <br />A. U-0624, NC 86 (South Columbia Street Chapel Hill): From SR 1906 (Purefoy <br />Road) to SR 1902 (Manning Drive), upgrade corridor to include bicycle lanes. <br />The Draft 2006-2012 STIP shows construction completion has been delayed two <br />years (from FY 07 to FY 09). This project is categorized as Regionally <br />Significant. Note that the DCHC 2030 Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) <br />Conformity Analysis Determination Report was approved by the DCHC TAC in <br />April 2005 and that the DCHC 2030 LRTP indicates this project will be completed <br />by 2010. The project must be operational by 2010 to avoid the requirement for a <br />new air quality analysis to be executed to determine if the MTIP will meet air <br />quality requirements. <br />B. E-4779. St. Mary's Road (Orange County): Acquire scenic easements. The Drafi <br />2006-2012 STIP lists this as a Hillsborough project for streetscaping on NC 86 <br />(Churton Street) from King Street to Margaret Lane. Please correct the location <br />and description of this project to indicate it is an Orange County project. <br />C. U-4728, Orange and Durham County Emissions. This project is not listed in the <br />Draft 2006-2012 STIP. It was not completed in 2005 as indicated in the 2004- <br />2010 STIP, and will carried over in the FY 06 Unified Planning Work Program for <br />the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization.
