D D ? [f =[T Attachment 2 5 <br />ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />A RESOLUTION PROVIDING COMMENTS TO THE DURHAM-CHAPEL HILL- <br />CARRBORO TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE REGARDING THE <br />DRAFT 2009 -2015 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM <br />WHEREAS, Orange County, as a member of the DCHC MPO, has participated <br />in the development of the Durham-Chapel Hill- Carrboro (DCHC) Metropolitan Priority <br />List for the 2009 -2015 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP); and <br />WHEREAS, the North Carolina Department of Transportation has released the <br />Draft 2009 -2015 STIP for public comment; and <br />WHEREAS, the DCHC MPO Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) is <br />charged with the development of the Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program <br />(MTIP) consistent with the STIP, and has released the draft MTIP for public comment; <br />and <br />WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners has reviewed the draft 2009- <br />201.5 DCHC Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program; <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Orange County Board of <br />Commissioners that the Orange County submits the following comments to the DCHC <br />Transportation Advisory Committee to be considered in the development of the final <br />2009 -2015 DCHC Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program: <br />1. Orange County is concerned that cuts in appropriated federal transportation funds to <br />North Carolina coupled with the rapid increase in construction costs have reduced <br />funding sources for bicycle and pedestrian projects in order to prevent further delay <br />of highway projects. Orange County supports increasing funding for alternative <br />modes for transportation, particularly for improvements that make bicycling safer on <br />County roads. <br />2. TIP Project E-4980, a pedestrian bridge on Orange Grove Road (SR 1006) over <br />1-40, continues to be the County's number one priority. Orange County requests that <br />the NCDOT proceed without delay to execute a feasibility study for this project. <br />3. Phase TIP Project 1-0305, 1-85 - widen to six lanes and reconstruct interchanges and <br />structures from 1-40 at Hillsborough to Durham County: Program in phases, with <br />Phase A being reconstruction of the interchanges followed by widening in Phase B. <br />a. Use the funding programmed for right-of-way acquisition in FY 11 and FY 12 for <br />right-of-way acquisition needed for the interchanges. <br />b. Orange bounty would also like to know the status of the environmental study for <br />this project, and be consulted during the study as well as during the design <br />process as stated in comments previously submitted by Orange County.
