A. An alignment that has the least impact on the Eno River, the natural <br />environment and cultural sites. <br />B. An alignment that does not cross the Eno River, but is aligned along the ridge <br />south of the river (if that alignment has the least impact on the natural <br />environment and cultural sites). This recommendation is in accordance with <br />the Orange County/Hillsborough Economic Development District <br />Transportation Work Group priority order by preference of options to be <br />studied for environmental analysis. <br />C. A road configuration of two lanes with right-of-way reserved for four lanes <br />(four lanes if necessary). <br />III. Other Hiqhway Projects in Orange Countv <br />The Orange County Board of Commissioners is pleased that the plan includes <br />improvements to US 70 Bypass in Orange County, from NC 86-North to I-85 exit <br />170 and improvements to NC 86 North from US 70 Bypass to NC 57. <br />IV. Alternative Modes of Transqortation Includinq Transit <br />The Orange County Board of Commissioners is pleased that the plan includes <br />alternative transportation modes including intensive transit improvements to <br />provide an integrated transit system throughout the urban area. <br />V. Non Traditional Revenue Sources <br />Although highway projects have, historically, been given higher funding priority <br />than transit projects, the Orange County Board of Commissioners believes that <br />should not be the case in the future. The Board therefore recommends that the <br />sentence in the first paragraph of Section 1.3 -Non Traditional Revenue Sources, <br />indicating that the plan's funding shortfall occurs in the bus transit and fixed <br />guideway projects, be deleted. Although the Board acknowledges the need for <br />additional revenue sources, the Board recommends that the recommended non <br />traditional revenue sources be further analyzed and discussed by local <br />governments before they are adopted. <br />~ <br />Upon motion of Commissioner~~u~ ~~C~e~nded by Comm'ssioner ~~ , the <br />foregoing resolution was adopted this the /4 day of ,~~~2. ~ <br />I, Donna Baker, Clerk to the Board of Commissioners for the County of Orange, North <br />Carolina, DO HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing is a true copy of so much of the <br />proceedings of said Board at a meeting held on December 10, 2002 as relates in any <br />way to the adoption of the foregoing and that said proceedings are recorded in the <br />minutes of said Board. j~ <br />WITNESS my hand and the seal of said County, this // ~ day of l~~~~002. <br />°~ _~'~~ ~`~,; <br />.. ~~ <br />,, ~'~_~~" ~,e <br />.>~~.r~ ~~t°~~ <br />Clerk to the Board of Commissioners <br />
