Approved 5/16/18 <br /> 225 <br />Alyson West asked what the next steps are. Nish Trivedi asked whether the OUTBoard thinks some DCHC projects 226 <br />are more important than others. 227 <br /> 228 <br />Alyson West and Heidi Perry advocated for Old N.C. 86 bike lanes as a priority. 229 <br /> 230 <br />Art Menius said Mt. Carmel Road has been problematic. 231 <br /> 232 <br />Jenn Sykes said the three at the top of the list are messes. People were sitting in traffic for 90 minutes on Friday in 233 <br />Hillsborough. She likes the order of the first three. 234 <br /> 235 <br />Heidi Perry said she is not backing down from prioritizing Old N.C. 86. There have been several injuries and close 236 <br />calls. Nobody has been killed. 237 <br /> 238 <br />Erle Smith asked with scores of 19.02 and 23.51 out of 50, if we make these must-haves, are we going to get them? 239 <br />Art Menius said these are just comments. Nish Trivedi said we’ll see the results in June. 240 <br /> 241 <br />Alyson West checked with Nish Trivedi that a deviation clause could be made for a safety argument but traffic 242 <br />concerns have no deviation clause option. 243 <br /> 244 <br />Nish Trivedi said he will look at that deviation clause and include it. If there is a clause we can use to pursue points 245 <br />for Orange County projects that the Board favors like those mentioned today, than we will. The public comment 246 <br />period starts in June and staff will present the results than. Heidi Perry asked for the link for public comments. Staff 247 <br />will provide a link to the MPO/RPO planning processes. 248 <br /> 249 <br />Nish Trivedi said Matt Day will be conducting a walk-in session for a couple hours when the TARPO process goes to 250 <br />public comment. He will check on how DCHC will be doing public comment in June. 251 <br /> 252 <br /> 253 AGENDA ITEM 6: INFORMATIONAL ITEMS 254 <br />There were none. 255 <br /> 256 <br /> 257 AGENDA ITEM 7: Staff Updates 258 <br /> 259 <br /> 260 AGENDA ITEM 7A: MPO/RPO AND NCDOT UPDATES (NISH TRIVEDI) 261 <br />These were covered by the discussion in Agenda Item 5c. 262 <br /> 263 <br /> 264 AGENDA ITEM 8: ADJOURNMENT 265 <br />The OUTBoard meeting was adjourned by consensus at 8:12 p.m. 266 <br /> 267 <br /> 268 <br /> <br /> ____________________________________ <br /> Heidi Perry, Chair <br /> <br />
