Why Develop a CTP? <br /> • IYs the law- GS 136-66.2 <br /> • Recommendations address future travel demand -not just for vehicles, but for all <br /> modes <br /> - Ensures that data and projections are in place to support projects <br /> - informs future land use planning and corridor protection <br /> • Documentation is customer-friendly and easy to update <br /> • A well-informed public <br /> - Public workshops are included <br /> - Local officials are regularly updated <br /> - Plans available on NCDOT website <br /> Commissioner Yuhasz asked if there was a narrative about the pedestrian lanes and <br /> some of the bicycle lanes. Sarah Lee said that she would check on this. She said that she <br /> reflected on what was on the pedestrian plan in the County as being developed. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs made reference to recreation-based versus community-based <br /> bike routes that was mentioned. Sarah Lee said that the bicycle map reflects the County's <br /> bicycle plan and the discussion was primarily about whether it should be recreation-based or <br /> more commuter-based. Visibly, it is more of a recreational plan. The discussion was adding <br /> some more commuter-based routes. The concern is the amount of traffic and the safety. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs encouraged NCDOT to accent the recreational component. The <br /> plan from the late 90's was a commuter plan, but that is really not feasible now. <br /> Commissioner Jacobs said that he would have trouble adopting this not knowing when <br /> the MPO will adopt it. Sarah Lee said that she would make sure to coordinate this. <br /> Chair Pelissier made reference to the park and ride lots and asked for an idea of the <br /> traffic analysis and how many parking spaces there would be. Also, she said that it is hard to <br /> know how the bus routes on this plan mesh with the draft transit plan, which still has not been <br /> formulated. <br /> No action needed tonight. <br /> 9.
