D R A F T <br />Jeff Charles responded that it would require doing all of OldNC86 and not just the rural section. He questions the 152 <br />financial input of that versus just going to new NC 86 and going up that way. Jeff noted he could see that it would 153 <br />benefit pedestrians. 154 <br />155 <br />Paul Guthrie commented again on the problems of assessing projects without full information on connectivity with 156 <br />other jurisdictions. For example, referencing that onthe little segment of Jones Ferry Road which is marked up, he 157 <br />understands what it connects to because of what is down in Chatham County,but to someone in Orange County 158 <br />looking at this map,without reference to Chatham County’s map, may not have any idea why that piece is there. 159 <br />160 <br />Abigaile Pittman asked for a summary of the Board’s final comment on the Old NC 86 project. It was summarized 161 <br />that the investment in the wide shoulders should be dropped unless needed for vehicle safety, that the commuting 162 <br />bikeroute would be best on new NC 86, and that the only way that a bike route should be included along Old NC 86 163 <br />was if it was an off-road facility.164 <br />165 <br />Pedestrian Map Comments:166 <br />Sam Lasris commented that he would like to see better identification of the MPO boundary lines and road names on 167 <br />the map.He said that he kept getting confused on what was a boundary line and what was a proposed pedestrian 168 <br />trail. Multiple other members of the OUTBoard agreed, saying that the boundary lines should be labeled on all of the 169 <br />CTP maps.170 <br />171 <br />Motion by Alex Castro that the OUTBoard recommend the comments discussed in the presentation and the 172 <br />additional comments discussed here tonight.
