Approved 2/20/13 212 Paul Guthrie: And the track is up high and the road on either side is low. 213 214 Abigaile Pittman: The kids in the mobile home park catch the bus on NC10. The road as it would come north of 215 Duke Forest would create double frontage lots for the Joppa Oaks residents and wipe out their storage sheds and 216 fencing in the back so they these concerns. On Gordon Thomas on Pashall Drive there are two family groups on 217 either end of the proposed new route that do not entirely agree with one another. 218 219 Paul Guthrie: The reason I pushed this was because this will be a recurring event along that railroad line over the 220 next 20 years because all those surface crossings of those rails will be eliminated one way or another so we should 221 watch how this goes. Abigaile Pittman: In January, the TCC Sub - committee is reviewing and commenting on the MTP process and TRM (Triangle Regional Model). Abigaile Pittman: Item 5c, Reviewed handout. Jeff Charles: Is part of this list on page 7 of 8, third down "Bicycle protection at signalized intersections "? I was talking with Paul before the meeting about having Chuck Edwards come in to talk with us about this. I think that is a generic problem in Orange County where we need to start talking to the NCDOT engineers about getting a bicycle detection system. Abigaile Pittman: If you see a project and you would be interested in seeing the detailed plans, let me know. Paul Guthrie: In the past, we have had Chuck Edwards in to talk about some things so we may want to accumulate some issues. Jeff Charles: On page 7, "Installation of a roundabout on Erwin Road and Mt. Moriah Road ", it is really needed but I am thinking about the roundabout on 751 and Erwin takes up a lot of space and it is pretty small. How do you do that at that intersection? Abigaile Pittman: Would you like me to get the plans for you? Jeff Charles: I would be interested in seeing that. Sam Lasris: Do you consider any of these items to be controversial that may need backup? Abigaile Pittman: I have talked with Nancy Cole Baker about the Safe Routes to School Action Plan and the staff has some initial steps outlined. I can invite Nancy to come to the meeting when we start discussing the Plan. AGENDA ITEM VI: BOARD MEMBERS' DISCUSSION OF AREAS OF SPECIAL INTEREST OUTBoard Action: Development of a list of members' areas of special interest and assignments for monitoring other boards' websites and /or agendas for transportation related information and activities. Abigaile Pittman: I would like for you to write your name under the websites that need to be monitored for obvious information that is listed to be shared. Paul Guthrie: I looked at the two websites listed by my name and the items that are listed as current will probably not be something we want to get involved in. Sometimes it is a little hard to figure out what is going on. Jeff Charles: There are items that we want to be involved in.
