This work will be completed by existing Planning staff in the Department's <br />Comprehensive Planning Division. Following adoption, Plan implementation will also require <br />assistance from the NCDOT SRTS program, the Orange County Schools staff, and the Town of <br />Hillsborough staff. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Interim Manager recommends the Board: <br />1. Receive the SRTS Update; and <br />2. Authorize Staff to proceed with the adoption process. <br />
