The cost for the <br /> 12 MLK BRT is the total cost but the Hillsborough train station is the local cost. It would be good to <br /> 13 make sure that costs always clearly identify for the reader total costs vs. local costs to avoid <br /> 14 confusion. <br /> 15 <br /> 16 Check that all numbers are consistent across the document <br /> 17 (Commissioner Gordon pointed out some of the inconsistencies).

Page 6 - First five years following successful tax referendum It was suggested at the BOCC <br /> 41 meeting that the cost share for the regional bus lines should be shared 50-50 between Durham <br /> 42 and Orange. <br /> 43 Before that change is made, I would like an explanation of why that should be done and what <br /> 44 effect, if any, it would have on the BRI as it has been presented. <br /> 45 <br /> 46 C.
