BICYCLE SAFETY - At the OUTBoard's March 18 meeting there was a discussion <br />regarding the plan to address the Board of County Commissioners' petition related to <br />bicycle safety (Attachment 1). The Chair gave direction for representatives of the two <br />groups that will be participating in discussions on recommendations for bicycle safety <br />policies and procedures at the April 15 and May 20 meetings. A letter was written to <br />each representative from the Chair providing guidance (Attachment 2). <br />Paul Guthrie: I would like to remind the OUTBoard members and the public that in this meeting you must seek <br />recognition and have me recognize you before you address this advisory board or another member of the Board <br />or staff. Our purpose tonight is to seek and consider good advice, information and practices for bike and auto <br />safety on the streets and roads of Orange County. This dialogue tonight and next month will need to recognize a <br />couple of essential realities which are: (a) County government in North Carolina by and large does not govern <br />the public roads of the state, design, building maintenance or passage of the laws of governance, and for that <br />matter (by and large) their policing. (b) Counties to not issue driver's licenses or test bike riders. This Board's <br />sole function is to respond to the BOCC, with advice on issues based upon the best information it can gather <br />based its members understanding of issues and facts, and predictable outcomes. <br />Abigaile Pittman: Reviewed plan. <br />
