I be determined by transit authorities over time as they study needs. He added bus and rail 2 integration is very important and it is being looked at in an ongoing manner. 3 4 Commissioner Pelissier said the BOCC only have minimal work sessions to choose from 5 in order to give feedback on the key decision points and she suggested to Bonnie Hamersley 6 that it be added to the September work session. 7 Patrick McDonough said that BOCC commentary would be very welcomed this evening 8 and he suggested the BOCC have further discussion in May, in order to give feedback in a 9 more timely manner. 10 Commissioner Rich said since C1 is out and C1A is about $36 million more, C1A does 11 not seem like money well spent. She said after being on the tour she is not sure how she feels 12 about C2 and C2A. She said she thinks the rail being closer to the park and ride at the Friday 13 Center makes the most sense to her. 14 Commissioner Dorosin said the operations cost makes C1A the least favorable. He said 15 that one of the determining factors should be for the rail being as close to the road as possible. 16 He said this visibility would allow vehicle commuters can see the train going by as they sit in 17 traffic and wish they were on it. He said this would be the best advertising possible for the 18 benefit of the train service. 19 Commissioner Pelissier agreed with Commissioner Dorosin about the visibility of the rail, 20 and said she would go with C2A. She said she could accept C2 but likes C2A better. 21 Commissioner Jacobs agreed with Commissioner Pelissier, and the same principal 22 applies to the New Hope Creek alternatives. 23 Commissioner Price said she would like a better idea of where additional housing would 24 be developed. One of the purposes of the rail is to increase mobility for the largest number of 25 people. 26 Patrick McDonough said local governments come into the picture and are key to the 27 issue of land use. He said the Town of Chapel Hill and the City of Durham are in the driver's 28 seat in terms of the types of zoning they will put in. He said Triangle Transit is working in 29 partnership with both communities. He said a Federal grant has been applied for to help think 30 creatively about these issues. He said a decision about the grant is still pending. 31 Commissioner Burroughs said she felt good about C2 and C2A. She said she is leaning 32 towards C2A and echoed the sentiment regarding the value of the rail being highly visible. 33 34 2.
