OUTBoard Review: - September 19, 2018 The OUTBoard received the Draft E-B-M AMP and will provide its recommendations on October 17, 2018. Following are key highlights from its initial review. • What about multimodal travel? o The recommended NCDOT approved standard street cross sections include either a sidewalk or wide paved shoulders. Some include both. • Bicycle safety needs to be included in the scope of the project. o The street cross sections address Bicycle and Pedestrian safety by including 5-foot sidewalks and/or wide paved shoulders. The plan does not include specific road design/engineering but does accommodate sufficient right of way in several cases for future bicycle and pedestrian improvements.
