19 <br /> } DRAFT AS OF SEPTEMBER 29, 1997 <br /> • recommendations. In order to support transit in Orange County the following <br /> improvements have been requested: <br /> a) Twenty Year Transit Development Plan for Orange County - Funding is requested to <br /> develop a long range transit plan that would integrate local transit systems with the <br /> planned long range transit improvements of the Triangle Region (i.e., Triangle Transit <br /> Authority's Triangle Fixed Guideway System) and the state (i.e., Governor Hunt's Transit <br /> 2001 Plan); and <br /> b) Park and Ride Lot in the Buckhorn Economic Development District - Orange County <br /> requests that a park and ride facility (from the adopted Orange County Economic <br /> Development District Design Manual) be constructed as a demonstration project with <br /> Transit 2001 Funds. This project is clearly justified as it meets the warrants for a park and <br /> ride lot for two growing regions in North Carolina, the Triad and Triangle. <br /> lll) Bic cl a Improvements - As bicycle traffic, continues to grow in Orange County the <br /> following improvements have been requested: <br /> a) E-3606 Orange County Bicycle Route Map - This map was requested in 1995 and we <br /> are pleased to see it included as Project E-3606 in the 1998-2004 TIP. We would like to <br /> take this opportunity to re-iterate our support for it as a project to be addressed in Federal <br /> Fiscal Year 1998; and <br /> b) Signs for Orange County Bicycle Routes - This project is requested to assist bicyclists <br /> in identifying the routes described in the Orange County Bicycle Route Map and to assist <br /> motorists in identifying those routes whereby "sharing the road" with bicyclists will be <br /> necessary. Orange County requests that this project be programmed for implementation <br /> after the completion of the Orange County Bicycle Route Map in Federal Fiscal Year <br /> 1999. <br /> Thank you for your consideration of these requests. <br /> Submitted this 30th day of October, 1997 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> DRAFT <br /> by: <br /> William L.
