Review of the <br />Draft Plan has been done by existing Planning staff in the Department's Comprehensive <br />Planning Division. Following adoption, Plan implementation will require assistance from the <br />NCDOT SRTS Program staff, the Orange County Schools staff, and the Town of Hillsborough <br />staff. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Interim Manager recommends the Board: <br />1. Receive the Draft Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Strategic Action Plan (Attachment 4); <br />2. Conduct the public hearing and accept public and BOCC comments on the proposed <br />Plan; <br />3. Refer the Plan to the Orange County Schools and the Town of Hillsborough for review <br />and adoption consideration, and report the review comments and actions to the BOCC in <br />time for the February 18, 2014 regular Board meeting; <br />4. Refer the matter to the Orange Unified Transportation Board (OUTBoard) with a request <br />that a recommendation be returned to the BOCC in time for the February 18, 2014 <br />BOCC regular meeting; and <br />5. Adjourn the public hearing until the February 18, 2014 regular Board meeting in order to <br />receive and accept the review comments and actions of the Orange County Schools and <br />the Town of Hillsborough, and the OUTBoard's recommendations, and any submitted <br />written comments. <br />
