Alderman Slade made a motion to direct staff to work on starting the process. <br /> Mike Brough said that the staff needs to come back to the board with a proposed <br /> process, which the board can then endorse. <br /> Commissioner McKee asked if it was the Town or the County authority that would <br /> require a stub-out across the creek and it was answered the Town. He asked if there was a <br /> process that the Town could go through so as not to require this stub-out. <br /> Mayor Chilton said that the Town could change its plans for the connecting road policy. <br /> His perspective is that the Town would not find anyone that would want to see Old NC 86 a <br /> four-lane road and instead turn this traffic to Eubanks Road. In order to make the connection <br /> north to Eubanks Road, there has to be a creek crossing somewhere. The question becomes <br /> who will pay for it and who the road will serve. <br /> Chair Pelissier said that the Town would come back with a process to review this road <br /> alignment. <br /> Alderman Lavelle seconded Alderman Slade's motion. <br /> (Carrboro Board of Aldermen) VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 2.
