Patricia asked: The yellow roads what does that mean? On Page 6? Also, what about the <br />Richmond, Lebanon Rd how it’s going to connect to the 119 bypass? Answer: Another transit <br />route that was proposed – new bus route proposed. <br />Nish answered: Every new state road or improvements to state road goes through the state’s <br />SPOT process. The State uses this quantitative data driven process to determine which <br />projects are best suited for funding through the State’s Transportation Improvement Program <br />(STIP). The yellow lines on the map you are referring to are Orange County priorities we <br />submitted to corresponding Metropolitan Planning Organizations to be considered for the <br />current SPOT process. The green lines on the same map are funded projects in the current <br />adopted STIP. The yellow lines you see are the County priorities. These lines did not score for <br />the SPOT process for the State. The green ones you see are funded and approved. The <br />repaving of I-85. <br />Tom: for example - Buckhorn Road. The county has identified it as one of its transportation <br />priorities and the County attempted to see if that is a project could be funded through the State’s <br />Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). So, what we are looking at here in this section of <br />the draft is just background information. <br />Planning Board Meeting ended by consensus at 7:50 PM <br />Lydia N. Wegman, Chair
