'Bike projects that are greater than $1,000,000 in cost can be submitted as highway projects if they involve highway modifications also of benefit to motorized vehicles. Projects will likely exceed $1,000,000. These projects are scored using the highway scoring methodology, however, they are not likely to score well against the State's highway scoring criteria. NOTES: 1) All projects previously submitted for consideration of inclusion in the TARPO regional priority list and the STIP are recommended for inclusion in this draft priority list; however, these projects are shifted down in priority given their very low likelihood of scoring well against the SPOT 3.0 scoring criteria. The INC 54 project was added to the list as priority #1 given the need for the project, its likelihood of scoring higher than other candidate projects, and its eligibility for funding from both the regional and divisional tiers, which makes it more likely to be funded. Although included as priority #2 in this list, the Efland -Cedar Grove project was removed from Orange County's priority list in 2011 because it did not score well in previous scoring iterations and bikeway improvements were anticipated not to meet the $1,000,000 threshold for being considered a highway project. The Efland -Cedar Grove Road improvements project is being added to the list because of some added emphasis on safety in the State's scoring criteria, giving the project a higher likelihood for potential funding than in previous scoring iterations.
