Brief Background 2 <br />Homestead and High School Roads Safety Task Force <br />NCDOT Division of Public Transportation (the division handling Moving Ahead <br />funding far bicycle and pedestrian projects) and the Division of Highways. <br />NCDOT Division staff attended a meeting of the task farce in February 2005 to <br />explain the status of the sidewalk project. Jahn Hunsinger, NGDOT Division 7 <br />Project Manager, told the group that NCDOT would consider the Homestead <br />Road sidewalk as a candidate project for the next NC Moving Ahead program but <br />NCDOT will not consider funding for the next Moving Ahead program until after <br />January 1, 2006. <br />He added that Carrboro and Chapel Hill must obtain the right-of-way and pay to <br />have utilities relocated in order for NCDOT to include the sidewalk in the next <br />Moving Ahead program. <br />Based on previous aspirations and expectations, the group was left with many <br />questions regarding how the project had "fallen off the wagon", and how to get <br />the project funded and constructed. <br />C:\DOCUments and Settings\Admini5trator\Lacal Seltings\Temp\DackgroundforAOGMeeting_I doc <br />
