HARRINGTON <br /> GOVERNOR April 8, 1987 SECRETARY <br /> MEMORANDUM TO: Council of Government <br /> FROM: James E. Harrington <br /> SUBJECT: Public Meetings to Update Transportation Improvement Program <br /> Governor Martin, the Board of Transportation and I invite you to participate <br /> in a public meeting to update our Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) . A <br /> series of 15 public meetings has been scheduled throughout the state to get your <br /> advise on highway improvements in your area. Your comments are carefully con- <br /> sidered by the Board of Transportation members when they update the TIP. We need <br /> you at these meetings to have an accurate transcript of all discussions and <br /> presentations. A copy of the statewide schedule is attached. <br /> The TIP is a positive approach to scheduling all types of transportation <br /> improvements. In addition to road improvements, we welcome your ideas concerning <br /> airport, public transportation, rail and bicycle projects in your area. Your <br /> assistance is vital -- especially this year because North Carolina was again <br /> shortchanged by the federal highway bill recently passed by the Congress, and <br /> because important proposals remain to be approved by the N. C. General Assembly. <br /> If it is inconvenient for you to attend the meeting in your area, you may <br /> want to coordinate with other officials of your area and present a combined <br /> priority listing of all projects that you would like the Board of Transportation <br /> to consider. Your recommendations, in priority, should be sent to Mr.' George <br /> Wells, State Highway Administrator, North Carolina Department of Transportation, <br /> P. 0. Box 25201, Raleigh, N. C. 27611. <br /> JEH/ala <br />
