Additionally, the route to the <br />3o transfer station should minimize proximity to any bicycle route and avoid travel over a <br />31 priority bicycle route. <br />32 <br />33 The OUTBoard also requests that technical criteria include preference for station sites that <br />34 would allow transfer of solid waste out of the County via rail. <br />3S <br />36 Please submit these comments to Olver, Inc. for the public information session Olver is <br />37 conducting on behalf of the Board of County Commissioners at the Southern Human Services <br />38 Genter in Chapel Hill on April 10, 2008. <br />39 <br />40 Thank you for your consideration of these comments when developing the final site selection <br />41 criteria and weighting factors for technical issues. <br />42 <br />43 Sincerely, <br />44 <br />4S Sam Lasris, Chair <br />46 Orange Unified Transportation Board <br />47 <br />48 <br />49 <br />
