offering some, and NCDOT will consider any that are received as it prepares the final technical <br />report. <br />Commissioner Dorosin asked about how coordination worked with the MPO CTPs, transit plan, etc. <br />Replies came from staff as well as a few other commissioners. Vice -Chair McKee explained that <br />the various plans have different controlling organizations and different funding sources. <br />There were various questions about project funding sources from various commissioners. <br />Commissioner Gordon and Commissioner Pelissier both asked about the park- and -ride lots <br />depicted on the CTP Transit Map - is there consistency with the Transit Plan and coordination of <br />funding? They asked if the park- and -ride lots would be funded by DOT or through the Transit Plan. <br />Tom Altieri, Orange County Comprehensive Planning Supervisor, responded, reiterating that the <br />CTP is not fiscally constrained and the funding for projects in the plan is not known at this time. <br />Commissioner McKee stated that funding decisions through the TARPO TAC has been very fair, <br />and added that Orange County doesn't have a lot of control over this DOT CTP. Chair Jacobs <br />stressed that the CTP is not fiscally constrained. <br />Chair Jacobs made a brief statement about the Orange County vs the DOT position on the NC 86 <br />Strategic Highway Corridor. He stated that Orange County has long been opposed to widening NC <br />86 from the Caswell County line to where it comes into Hillsborough, and this CTP (Highway Map <br />project) is NCDOT's way to make it a major Boulevard. This will create a huge bottleneck where <br />NC 86 comes into Hillsborough and this hasn't really been addressed in the CTP or by anyone, <br />and now we're going to try to run transit though the same bottleneck. <br />Vice -Chair McKee moved the Manager's recommendations to refer the matter to the OUTBoard <br />and adjourn the public hearing until March 7, 2013 in order to receive and accept the OUTBoard's <br />recommendation. Commissioner Price seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously. <br />
