I-40 scoping process (Craig Benedict and NCDOT) <br />Craig Benedict, Mike Mills and Ed Lewis discussed the issues with the <br />prioritization of the I-40 project.

UPDATES <br />a. Implementation of downtown Hillsborough access study improvements <br />(crosswalks, parking, sidewalk work) (Margaret Hauth) <br />b. Sidewalk from County parking deck to courthouse; Churton Street/Nash and <br />Kollock Street crosswalk; and sidewalk on east side of Churton Street (Craig <br />Benedict) <br />Margaret Hauth addressed both items a. and b. She stated that the designs for <br />the access study improvements and the sidewalks and crosswalk have been <br />completed and submitted to Chuck Edwards. There are some questions <br />regarding the application of ADA regulations on the east side of Churton Street. <br />The question is whether resurfacing triggers improvements on the east side of <br />Churton Street. Dawn McPherson stated that she believed that it would be <br />triggered by resurfacing, and also because of changes to the crosswalk. <br />Margaret added that there will be an audible intersection at Churton and King <br />streets with funding from the ADA compliant section. NCDOT will be providing <br />$250,000 for these improvements. <br />c.
