Link <br /> County Manager <br /> P. O. Box 8181 <br /> Hillsboro, N.C. 27278 <br /> SUBJECT: Orange County Thoroughfare Plan <br /> Dear John: <br /> Pursuant to our meeting March 24, 1988, I am writing to outline <br /> a process to develop an Orange County Thoroughfare Plan. We look <br /> forward to working with Orange County staff and elected officials to <br /> develop a plan that will reflect the unique needs and goals of <br /> Orange County. Attached is a proposed schedule that covers the <br /> primary steps that will lead to an adopted thoroughfare plan. <br /> This is a somewhat more ambitious schedule that I originally <br /> proposed. As you can see the County staff will play a lead role in <br /> coordinating this plan with the urban area plans and presentation to <br /> the general public. Our staff will develop the preliminary plan and <br /> play the lead role in preparing the street appendix. The appendix <br /> will detail the existing street system and detail proposals for <br /> improvements on thoroughfare plan streets. <br /> As pointed out at our meeting, our staff time will be limited. <br /> We must continue the Durham-Chapel Hill urban area planning process <br /> as our first priority. We will make every effort to complete the <br /> Orange County plan along with the DCHC plan. We encourage Orange <br /> County to continue to be an active participant in the DCHC Study and <br /> hope that the County will be able to mutually adopt a consensus plan <br /> in the same time period as other participants . If you have any <br /> questions please give me a call. <br /> Sincerely, / <br /> Blake Norwood, P.E. <br /> Systems Planning Engineer <br /> cc: Mr. Jim Greenhill <br /> Mrs. Shirley Marshall <br /> Mr. Bill Buchanan <br />
