DG3pffq <br />20 <br />Burklin requested that the towns of Hillsborough <br />and Pittsboro be included in the plans for a <br />transit system noting that there are many who <br />work in RTP who reside in those two towns. <br />The response was that Chatham County is not <br />currently a member of the Triangle Transit <br />Authority. If Chatham County should become a <br />member, then, Pittsboro would be a likely town <br />for a transit system. Mr. Ritchey continued <br />noting that the area being discussed is in the <br />Jordan Lake watershed and perhaps would not be an <br />area where intense development should be <br />considered. <br />Reid asked about the timeframe for construction, <br />if the study proved that such a project should <br />become a reality. Mr. Ritchey responded that he <br />was hopeful that construction would begin seven <br />to ten years from now and be in operation ten to <br />fifteen years from now. <br />Cantrell commented that commuter systems in <br />residential areas with which she was familiar <br />were very quiet operations. Mr. Ritchey's <br />response was that the transit system was a much <br />better neighbor than a sixteen lane highway. He <br />encouraged the Board to make the Commissioners <br />aware of their interest and opinions regarding a <br />transit system. <br />AGENDA ITEM #9: SUBDIVISION APPLICATIONS <br />a.
