<br />The OUTBoard provided the following comments (Attachment 3) at its November 15 meeting: <br /> <br />1. The LRT extension from Chapel Hill to Carrboro would better be served if it went along <br />Main Street and into downtown rather than Cameron Avenue. <br />2. We would like to see a bike and pedestrian path between Hillsborough and Carrboro. <br />3. Hillsborough station is great and should be used often. Amtrak may provide only two <br />stops a day so it will need to be planned for more frequent use. <br /> <br />Next Steps <br />• December 13 – DCHC MPO Board to approve the Preferred Option and release full 2045 <br />MTP report and final Goals/Objectives/Targeted Performance Measures for public <br />comment. <br />• January 10 – DCHC MPO Board to adopt by resolution the 2045 MTP and report. <br /> <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no immediate financial impact associated with this item. <br /> <br />SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange Social Justice Goals are applicable to this <br />agenda item: <br />• GOAL: ENSURE ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY <br />The creation and preservation of infrastructure, policies, programs and funding necessary <br />for residents to provide shelter, food, clothing and medical care for themselves and their <br />dependents. <br /> <br />• GOAL: CREATE A SAFE COMMUNITY <br />The reduction of risks from vehicle/traffic accidents, childhood and senior injuries, gang <br />activity, substance abuse and domestic violence. <br /> <br />• GOAL: ESTABLISH SUSTAINABLE AND EQUITABLE LAND-USE AND <br />ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES <br />The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of people of all races, cultures, incomes <br />and educational levels with respect to the development and enforcement of <br />environmental laws, regulations, policies, and decisions. Fair treatment means that no <br />group of people should bear a disproportionate share of the negative environmental <br />consequences resulting from industrial, governmental and commercial operations or <br />policies. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board: <br /> <br />1. Receive the presentation (Attachment 1); <br />2. Discuss as appropriate; and <br />3. Endorse OUTBoard comments with or without changes. <br /> <br />2
