Margaret Lane, Suite 201 <br />P.O. Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />Pursuant to North Carolina General Statute 132, correspondence sent and received from this account is a public record and may <br />be disclosed to third parties. <br />From: Abigaile Pittman <br />Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2018 5:02 PM <br />To: Molly Boyle <br />Cc: Michael Harvey; Tom Altieri; Craig Benedict; Chuck Edwards Contact; Elaina Cheek <br />Subject: Additional comments for the December 21, 2017 meeting <br />Molly, <br />I have some late comments for the December 21St meeting (see attached). The holiday days delayed my <br />comments. My apologies. You advised me this morning that you could still accept these comments. <br />On page 4 of the meeting notes pertaining to the Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat for Morgan <br />Ridge, please delete bullet 4 that references a comment I made before the meeting. Rather, please <br />insert the following comment: <br />"The applicant and developer are advised that Jones Ferry Road is included in the adopted <br />Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) prepared by the North Carolina Department of <br />Transportation (NCDOT) and Orange County (October, 2013). While there is no immediate project <br />planned for Jones Ferry Road, the road is designated as a Minor Thoroughfare in need of on -road <br />bicycle improvements. Projects in an adopted CTP have the potential over time of gaining potential <br />funding and then being included in the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) for the planning <br />jurisdiction in which they are included, which in this case is the Triangle Area Regional Planning <br />Organization (TARPO). Through a project prioritization process, projects in the MTP have the <br />potential of future inclusion in the State's Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). While at this <br />time there are NO AVAILABLE PLANS for bicycle improvements on Jones Ferry Road, such <br />improvements can vary from widened road shoulders to additional right -of -way for the development of <br />bike lanes." <br />Please contact me should you have any questions. <br />Regards, <br />
