Continued 68 <br />presentation.69 <br />70 <br />Sam Lasris: In myexperience with destinations and services that lots of people are taking public transit are using it 71 <br />to get to other transportation systems.72 <br />73 <br />Jeff Charles: Have they considered the new development that issupposedly going to overwhelm Pittsboro? Allof 74 <br />those people will come through Orange County.
