D R A F T MatthewDay: The CTP report hasstandard cross sectionsin the appendix. 111 112 Jeff Charles: We need to make sure the maps are coordinatedwith the descriptions and the appendix. 113 114 Matthew Day: The cross section in the report is for 11-foottravel lanes and four-foot paved shoulders and a45 mph 115 speed limit.116 117 Abigaile Pittman: For this project it is four-foot wide paved shoulders.Next, the Old NC 86 from Arthur Minis Road to 118 Davis Roadproject. Why don’t we make a recommendation thatthe project descriptions include the four-foot wide 119 paved shoulders described in the appendix? There was general concurrence from the Board members. 120 121 Abigaile Pittman: The next map is the Public Transportation and Rail map.There are currently no rail facilities in the 122 TARPO area. 123 124 Paul Guthrie: How far out is the map looking at?125 126 Abigaile Pittman: 2040.127 128 Paul Guthrie: All of the discussion from the last three years of potential rail and 15-20 years has not been all covered 129 in this map because one of the options was an Efland drop-off station.130 131 Abigaile Pittman: That location is in the MPOarea. 132 133 Paul Guthrie: My point is that at least the way this goes, there is no need to worry about rail in the rest of the county. 134 Feeding a rail system that is 20 years out will need to have a series of serious discussions about feeder units to get 135 people to the rail units.136 137 Abigaile Pittman: Bus routes are next.138 139 Paul Guthrie: Most of the secondary paved road systems in the county were put together between 1948 and 1955 140 and the only area I see significant attention to isthe bridges. I saw nothingfromany of the meetings about the long 141 term maintenance and upgrade problems that will occur increasingly. Should that have been mentioned? 142 143 Matthew Day: That is not something handled in the CTP. They don’t get into bridges or maintenance. And bridge 144 maintenance has a totally separate process which is formula driven.145 146 Abigaile Pittman: Matt, as the representative of TARPO, is there anything you would like to contribute?147 148 Matthew Day: My main goal tonight was to come hear your concerns. We are here to provide advice and to listen.149 150 151 AGENDA ITEM V: STAFF UPDATES152 a.Status of Burlington-Graham Metropolitan Planning Organization (BG MPO) 153 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) including Orange County 154 b.January 7th and January 14th public meetings were held by NCDOT for the three proposed 155 railroad private crossing closures in Orange County.
