Ahrendsen <br />City of Durham <br />Department of Transportation <br />101 City Hall Plaza <br />Durham, N.C. 27701 <br />SUBJECT:' CLARIFICATION ON R -2630 IN DRAFT 1993 -97 TIP - <br />Dear Mark:. <br />At the June 8 TAC meeting on the Draft 1993 -97 TIP, it <br />was requested that Orange County's 1991-request be included <br />since there has been no change in the position of the Board <br />of County Commissioners. There is, however, a point of <br />clarification that needs to be made regarding a project in <br />Orange County's 1991 TIP request. <br />Project R -2630, Durham Northwest Loop (also known as Eno <br />Drive), was recommended for deletion in the 1991 request. <br />This was a case of mistaken identity. It was confused with <br />the Durham Outer Loop as originally proposed in the Durham - <br />Chapel Hill- Carrboro Thoroughfare Plan. This was a proposal <br />to which Orange County was strongly opposed. <br />The Orange County Commissioners received an update on <br />R -2630 on April 21, 1992 from DOT and H.W. Lochner officials <br />and voiced their support for.the project. Their support, <br />however, was conditioned upon "Eno Drive following the <br />thoroughfare plan alignment (corridor A2 in the corridor <br />study currently underway) east and south of the Eno River. <br />The County Commissioners were concerned that the other <br />alignment (corridor Al) west and north of the river would <br />negatively impact areas that were environmentally sensitive. <br />Sincerely, <br />C__Q� &2,1L <br />R.
