M <br />Why Develop a CTP? <br />• It's 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 />Reports -NONE <br />10. <br />NE <br />11.
