4 <br /> Chair Rich referred to the MPO report that Commissioner Price mentioned, and said <br /> things are going the wrong way with more car crashes and bike crashes. She said the road is <br /> not being shared, and the public is not being educated on how to do so. She said the most <br /> crashes in Orange County happen at the intersection of 1-40 and Highway 86. <br /> Chair Rich said she talked and walked with the Northwood community, and those who <br /> were going to bring forward a resolution. <br /> Commissioner McKee said that is the same one he mentioned. <br /> Commissioner McKee said this proposal is the least impactful one that he has seen thus <br /> far. <br /> Chair Rich said DOT seems to have gotten the message from the neighbors and the <br /> elected officials. <br /> Chair Rich said she attended the Chapel Hill Legislative breakfast, and the biggest <br /> conversation was about electric scooters. <br /> Commissioner Price said there was an elected officials meeting with DOT about the <br /> widening of 1-40 and 86 through plan 4a and 4b. She said there seemed to be a better feel <br /> about plan 4b, which would not take out any homes and will be less expensive. <br /> Commissioner McKee said if Commissioners have time to go to the area, the route that <br /> will be formed by plan 4b is flagged and staked off. <br /> Chair Rich said the biggest concern with this plan is that it will become a super street, <br /> and Chapel Hill does not like super streets. <br /> Commissioner Bedford said there were several Town Council members at the meeting <br /> who seemed receptive. <br /> 4.
