Several concerns <br />appear to be outstanding. These include: <br />(1) In the 1991 - request Eno Drive was confused with <br />the previously proposed (but now deleted) Durham <br />Outer Loop. A letter of clarification (attached) <br />on this was sent to Durham officials responsible <br />for compiling the urban area TIP. <br />(2) The portion of I -85 east of Hillsborough lies in <br />the DCHC Urban Area and specific TIP improvements <br />were requested for it by the TAC. Commissioner <br />Gordon has asked if the Board might want to <br />consider requesting similar improvements for the <br />Orange County- section of I -85 west of the DCHC <br />area. Documentation on these improvements is <br />included as attachments. <br />(3) NCDOT, Town of Hillsborough, and County staff are <br />to meet July 13 to discuss the widening project. <br />Staff can reiterate Board concerns that BMP's be <br />installed in conjunction with the project. <br />RECOMMENDATION: As the Board decides. <br />
