10 <br /> 102 <br /> 103 Jeff Charles asked how many of the projects on the list have a chance of getting funded. <br /> 104 <br /> 105 Max Bushell said that for DCHC not very many of these are likely to get funded, based on the level of competition <br /> 106 between projects across the funding region. For TARPO however they do need a complete prioritized list. <br /> 107 <br /> 108 Amy Cole asked if they are talking about construction with the on-ramp and off-ramp or are they talking about the <br /> 109 actual overpasses on 1-85 and Hwy 86. <br /> 110 <br /> 111 Matt Day said that generally with an interchange project you're replacing the bridge and the ramps all at the same <br /> 112 time. <br /> 113 <br /> 114 Amy Cole asked if the bridge will be widened and accessible for bicycles and pedestrians. <br /> 115 <br /> 116 Matt Day said typically yes. <br /> 117 <br /> 118 Jeff Charles asked if they can wait on voting until they see the scores from NCDOT. <br /> 119 <br /> 120 Heidi Perry explained that if they waited they wouldn't be able to give input. <br /> 121 <br /> 122 Matt Day said that the TARPO meeting when they will actually vote on it is May 19th so if the Board meets before that <br /> 123 day you can submit comments then. <br /> 124 <br /> 125 Max Bushell said that he thinks the top three or four will be funded. <br /> 126 <br /> 127 Matt Day said that from his experience interchange projects, interstate widening projects, and intersection projects <br /> 128 scored well. <br /> 129 <br /> 130 Max Bushell explained that since they have spent an hour on this already he suggested they move the two 1-40 <br /> 131 projects to the bottom of the list as the group did not think those should be funded at the Regional Impact level and <br /> 132 then they should go with the NCDOT scores in order from most to least for the remainder of the projects, because <br /> 133 this is one small part of a larger public process and this will maximize the funding to Orange County. <br /> 134 <br /> 135 Alex Castro asked if someone could restate the motion. <br /> 136 <br /> 137 Max Bushell said the motion is to accept the NCDOT scoring as is in the DCHC MPO, but with the two 1-40 projects <br /> 138 at the bottom and to otherwise rank the projects based on NCDOT scoring. For the TARPO, he said we rank the <br /> 139 projects based on NCDOT scoring but the NC 54 widening projects will go to the bottom. The Burlington-Graham <br /> 140 MPO projects will remain as prioritized. <br /> 141 <br /> 142 MOTION made by Jeff Charles; Seconded by Alex Castro <br /> 143 VOTE: Unanimous <br /> 144 <br /> 3 <br />
