29 Clinic, Department of Social Services construction) is anticipated to start and finish 1 approximately nine months behind Phase 1 or in the late fall 2020. 2 3 Commissioner Jacobs referred to the Sportsplex, and said he saw a document stating 4 that the Town of Hillsborough did not require the developer of Forrest Ridge to provide a 5 sidewalk, and was trying to extort it from the County. He asked if there is an update on this 6 issue. 7 Jeff Thompson said staff worked with the Forest Ridge group, who is interested in a 8 connection, and the County is interested in a sidewalk. He said staff has arranged for Forrest 9 Ridge to pay for the area on its side of Highway 70, and the crossing over to connect to the 10 sidewalk on the County’s side of the facility. 11 Commissioner Jacobs asked if that is different from what the Town of Hillsborough 12 originally requested. 13 Jeff Thompson said the request came from Forrest Ridge. He said a sidewalk had been 14 planned, but DOT was contemplating widening highway 70, which put the sidewalk on hold. He 15 said the DOT widening issue was lifted at the same time that Forrest Ridge requested a 16 connection. He said Hillsborough helped with these negotiations. 17 Commissioner Jacobs asked if DOT will allow a crosswalk. 18 Jeff Thompson said yes, and it is on the Forrest Ridge component of the work. He said 19 it is a stamped crosswalk, and it does not have any other than signage, but it will be a safe 20 crosswalk. 21 Commissioner Rich asked if vehicles will know to stop for pedestrians at the crosswalk. 22 Jeff Thompson said adequate signage will be posted, and a reduction in speed limit has 23 been requested, which DOT is evaluating. He said the speed limit is currently 40-45 miles per 24 hour. 25 Commissioner Rich said to keep an eye on this. 26 27 10. County Attorney’s Report 28 NONE 29 30 11. *Appointments 31 32 a.
