a Best asked if there were any more questions about the road classification system for the County. He then asked if there were any questions about the proposed collector /subcollector system and "super - blocks" proposed by Rimley -Horn. Eidenier asked about the classification of Green Riley Road which connects NC 57 and Guess Road in Little River Township. She stated that it appeared to be the missing link in what could be visualized almost as a rural outer loop from Alamance County to Durham County when you looked at the pattern of roads formed by Mill Creek Road, Carr Store Road, Sawmill Road, Walnut Grove Church Road, Little River Church Road, and Guess Road.

Rogers stated that Durham County would have a hearing on March 21. Norwood pointed out that there were several inter - jurisdictional issues that would have to be resolved. In the case of Orange and Durham Counties it was the Outer Loop. On issues like this he saw each individual governing board holding its own hearing, taking a stand, and referring it to the Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) for a final resolution of differences if such a resolution could be achieved. Eidenier asked if anyone thought additional education of the public was needed before a public hearing.
