Approved 2-20-2008 <br />2 <br />Having that plan will give you a leg up when you do ask for the infrastructure money. Earlier this year, Walkable <br />Hillsborough applied for a plan. That process helped us put a team in place. <br /> <br />Alice Gordon: I got the message over the weekend and the agenda had already gone out. The chair wanted to add <br />Grady Brown because of the pedestrian bridge project. <br /> <br />Nancy Baker: We had to specify the schools we wanted to plan for. If you specify two schools they would pay for a <br />consultant for up to $15,000 and if you specify more up to $30,000. The biggest challenge we have now is Stanford. <br />You can’t recommend high schools. Our recommendation was Stanford and Cameron Park. Barry Jacobs <br />recommended Grady Brown. <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: (Pointing to map indicating schools) <br /> <br />Nancy Baker: This is a different scale map. <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: Stanford Middle School is in the ETJ. <br /> <br />Nancy Baker: The problem is that the kids have to cross US 70 to walk to the school. Stanford is adjacent to Orange <br />High so anything that is helping Stanford will help Orange High. Cameron Park has no sidewalks. Grady Brown is <br />here. (Pointing to map) <br /> <br />Sam Lasris: The Board of County Commissioners approved a resolution to enter into an agreement with NCDOT to <br />develop a Service Plan. <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: I’ve handed out a copy of the resolution in your packs that is required as part of the application. <br /> <br />Sam Lasris: Do we need a working group to work on the application? <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: Yes. That would be helpful. <br /> <br />Nancy Baker: Will you be the point person? <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: It will either be me or Karen Markovics. We need to get a letter of support from Hillsborough and any <br />other groups. We need a resolution from the Metropolitan Planning Organization. <br /> <br />Nancy Baker: Plus the application itself. <br /> <br />Al Terry: Do you know if the new development on 70 across from Glenn Road will have a sidewalk? <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: I think they will. Hillsborough’s subdivision regulations require sidewalks for new development. <br /> <br />Al Terry: That will get you to Abundant Life and I think it goes to Miller Road. <br /> <br />Nancy Baker: Walkable Hillsborough, as a group, decided to help with this. I think I can volunteer myself and <br />Pascale to be the point people. <br /> <br />Sam Lasris: Will that be a sufficient amount of volunteers? <br /> <br />Karen Lincoln: Yes, I think so to get the application together. <br />
