Government Services Center. Each public session was publicized in the local newspaper, on local government websites, in local blogs and advisory websites, on local radio shows, through email lists, and on flyers in various locations around the county. One comment form was submitted during the session held on February 7, 2011, and one comment form was submitted during the session held on September 14, 2011. An online comment website was also created for the duration of the study, but no comment submissions were received via that format. The public involvement process also included a public survey, which was created with input from the Transportation Planning Branch, Triangle Area RPO, Durham - Chapel Hill - Carrboro MPO, Orange Unified Transportation Board, and Orange County Board of Commissioners. It was released to the public on September 23, 2009, and closed on November 2, 2009. A total 491 surveys were completed (including both online and paper submissions). In January of 2011, it was discovered that there was an overlap of boundaries between Durham - Chapel Hill - Carrboro MPO and Burlington Graham MPO in Orange County. Staff discussions on options for adjusting boundaries were held between the fall of 2011 and the fall of 2012, with a final option being, approved by Orange County and the MPOs in the fall of 2012. Due to these developments, after the Orange County CTP recommendations were finalized by the committee in the spring of 2012, adoption of the CTP was postponed until approval of the MPO boundary adjustments. A public hearing was held on FUTURE DATE during the Orange County Board of Commissioners meeting. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the plan recommendations and to solicit further input from the public. The CTP was adopted at the meeting held on FUTURE DATE. The Triangle Area RPO endorsed the CTP on FUTURE DATE. The North Carolina Board of Transportation voted to mutually adopt the Orange County CTP on FUTURE DATE. I -2s
