Churton Street project, is it the one that we looked at from <br /> 116 a public hearing somewhere recently. <br /> 117 <br /> 118 Abigaile Pittman: No, that is for the next cycle the one that will come out in two years. <br /> 119 <br /> 120 AGENDA ITEM 713: ORANGE COUNTY&NCDOT HIGHWAY LUNCHEON MEETING NOTES <br /> 121 <br /> 122 Abigaile Pittman reviewed the luncheon meeting that was held on January 91h and referred the committee to the notes <br /> 123 <br /> 124 Abigaile Pittman: In response to Amy's interest in the SPOT Safety report, it is still in the works and they will report back as <br /> 125 soon as it is completed. <br /> 126 <br /> 127 AGENDA ITEM 7C: MPOIRPO NCDOT PROJECT UPDATES <br /> 128 <br /> 129 Abigaile Pittman updated the Board members on the projects <br /> 130 <br /> 131 Heidi Perry: I looked back and it is the project shown with bike lanes and sidewalks but part of the requirements for it is <br /> 132 Hillsborough and Orange County to have an agreement about sidewalk maintenance,where does that stand? <br /> 133 <br /> 134 Abigaile Pittman: It is not forgotten but part of the problem with reaching any kind of agreement is nobody knows what the <br /> 135 cost would be to put it in, what are they all agreeing to, not just the maintenance but the shared costs, etc. They don't have <br /> 136 enough details to move forward in making an agreement. <br /> 137 <br /> 138 Heidi Perry: I would like to see it done,we've been trying to get it done for three years. The agreement. <br /> 139 <br /> 140 Abigaile Pittman presented a news release by NCDOT titled "Funds Breathe New Life Into Safe Routes To School Program" <br /> 141 She will be sending it out to the OUTBoard. <br /> 142 <br /> 143 Matt Day: My understanding is the concept for this is to essentially replace the active routes to routes to school funding that <br /> 144 had been in place for the last several years that came through Health and Human Services. Now this is DOT funding to <br /> 145 essentially replace that funding that has now gone away. That program had regional coordinators that worked with people in <br /> 146 each region and I think the intention is they are hoping something similar to that will continue on and folks will partner together <br /> 147 if there's some type of service like that. <br /> 148 <br /> 149 Todd Jones: I am happy to serve as a liaison to the county schools. When we get to the point where we want to make some <br /> 150 proposals and get some partnership,just let me know. <br /> 151 <br /> 152 Randy Marshall: I have noticed that the center line reflectors have disappeared and are not being replaced. Is there any <br /> 153 thought in getting those included in the County's resurfacing projects,they are a significant safety issues for minimal cost. <br /> 154 <br /> 155 Abigaile Pittman: I can bring that up at the NCDOT Luncheon in April. <br /> 156 <br /> 157 AGENDA ITEM:ADJOURNMENT <br /> 158 OUTBoard meeting was adjourned. <br /> 159 <br /> Art Menius, Chair <br /> 3 <br />
