224 Nish Trivedi: I will find out from the consultant and get back to you. 225 226 Heidi Perry: It would be good to know what the people thought who were trying to get out and then the people already on 227 54. You will let us know? 228 229 Alex Castro: One traffic light has been added at Mebane Oaks Rd, that is far out. Play chicken crossing 54. 230 231 Heidi Perry: Report on 54? 232 233 Nish Trivedi: It has been pushed out another month. I will keep you informed. I will be presenting to you for your 234 comments in November. 235 236 Alyson West: When is STIP? 237 238 Nish Trivedi: Should be done in January or February. I think they pushed it out for another month due to the hurricane. 239 240 Alyson West: Are we going to see it again? 241 242 Nish Trivedi: Yes. Right now we are working on Division Points and pursuing local points on projects you recommended 243 get priority. OCPT’s 2 transit vehicles and Old Greensboro road. There is a chance NC 86 going north of Hillsborough to 244 NC 57 widening and intersection improvements getting funded if other division projects don’t. The Old Greensboro Rd. 245 was too high of a cost and will not get funded. 246 247 Alex Castro: They did put in a new Bridge on Old Greensboro Rd. east of the Edwards property, west of Jones Ferry Rd 248 and that permits bicyclists to be on the road at the bridge when someone is coming, just wide enough I would say. It 249 does have a shoulder to it. 250 251 Nish Trivedi: Right now, State projects and Regional projects have been determined. Right now you can go to NCDOT 252 STIP process and see the results, both with a map as well as the spread sheet which shows you the projects across the 253 state that have gotten Statewide and Regional Funding and the draft of the Division. 254 255 Heidi Perry: So, when you said we did not make a recommendation for 54 it didn’t get points but that’s the same 54 you 256 are going to be reporting on in October or November? 257 258 Nish Trivedi: Yes. There are several NC 54 projects in the STIP. There is the Old Fayetteville Rd and 54 intersection 259 improvement, Carrboro doesn’t want that one. 260 261 Alex Castro: The development of the Lloyd Property. 262 263 Nish Trivedi: Another NC-54 project from Orange Grove Road to Old Fayetteville Rd, the Operation Improvement project 264 is already funded, so they are doing that project. The widening of that same portion of NC-54 was not recommended for 265 points so it did not get funded. They are also waiting for the corridor study to be done. It is the 3rd highest scoring 266 Regional Project in Division 7. Just letting you know the results of the Regional Project. If it received local points it would 267 have been done because NCDOT division did put points on it. 268 269 Heidi Perry: Whether we wanted it or not. 270 271 Nish Trivedi: If it was recommended as one of the top 2 Orange County priorities in TARPO and it had gotten the local 272 input points. Division 7 put the points on it because they thought it was a great project and the study was almost 273 complete. The study would have been completed before the draft STIP went out for review. We did not put points on it in 274 either MPO or RPO so it’s not getting done. There is the other NC 54 widening project from Orange Grove Road to NC-275 119 in Alamance County. BGMCO submitted this project to NCDOT. BGMPO, I believe put points on it but nobody else 276 did therefore it did not get funded, that I am aware of. I will show you the results when the draft STIP is released. The 277 only project that has as chance for funding is NC 86 north of Hillsborough from 70 to NC 57, widening and improving the 278 intersection. 279 7
