10 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 377 Randy Marshall: The section of Rocky Ridge Road that runs about a mile from Dairyland to Arthur Minnis in front of the <br /> 378 Maple View Farms ice cream. If they could resurface that one-mile section and put some paved shoulders or bike lanes that <br /> 379 would make a big difference. They started to gravel it a couple of times, but they have not done anything about the other <br /> 380 lane because it's a very bumpy road and it's also heavily used by commuters to get up to I-40. It's used by cyclists who <br /> 381 often gather at the Maple View Ice Cream store to begin and end their ride. Resurface that one mile section with bike lanes. <br /> 382 <br /> 383 Nish Trivedi:Are you talking about Rocky Ridge Road or Arthur Minnis? <br /> 384 <br /> 385 Randy Marshall. I'm talking about making improvements on Rocky Ridge between Dairyland and Arthur Minnis. <br /> 386 The other is the half mile section between the end of Fayetteville Rd. up to Calvander and Carrboro where the bike lanes <br /> 387 disappear. <br /> 388 <br /> 389 Nish Trivedi: Carrboro doesn't want a bike lane up to Calvander I believe going north and east in Carrboro's jurisdiction. <br /> 390 <br /> 391 Randy Marshall: The Carrboro town limits end with the end of the bike lanes. It would be an Orange County project to go <br /> 392 from there. It could be a Carrboro/Orange County project in the next half mile. <br /> 393 <br /> 394 Nish Trivedi: We're trying to push for that in modernizing those roads with paved shoulders. We'll go to NCDOT and ask if <br /> 395 we can get a little piece of that improved. <br /> 396 <br /> 397 Ram Athavale: In Carrboro, Jones Ferry and Old Fayetteville Road, the middle of that intersection has a pretty strong dip <br /> 398 and rise that can be damaging to vehicles. I wondered if that can be looked at and possibly repaired under one of these <br /> 399 programs. <br /> 400 <br /> 401 Nish Trivedi:Jones Ferry in south Carrboro? <br /> 402 <br /> 403 Ram Athavale: Yes, south of Carrboro. <br /> 404 <br /> 405 Nish Trivedi: Carrboro has an ETJ, so I'll have to look and review their ETJ. I'll check on it. There are a lot of issues in that <br /> 406 area,just depends on the ETJ whether we can pursue it or Carrboro must. <br /> 407 <br /> 408 Abigaile Pittman. We are still waiting for NCDOT on the Orange Grove Road assessment. <br /> 409 <br /> 410 Randy Marshall: Is that the Orange Grove Road Extension? <br /> 411 <br /> 412 Abigaile Pittman: No, it is the section down by the Cedar Ridge High School, from the pedestrian bridge up to the High <br /> 413 School. We asked NCDOT to see if there were additional safety measures that could be taken. <br /> 414 <br /> 415 Brantley Wells: I saw plans, and I don't remember seeing sidewalks on the plan. <br /> 416 <br /> 417 Amy Cole: It never appeared on any plans. We wanted it to appear on the plans, and then the discussion was that no, it was <br /> 418 never going to be on a plan. <br /> 419 <br /> 420 Amy Cole: Can you speak to what segment improvement actually means? <br /> 421 <br /> 422 Nish Trivedi: A segment improvement is any section of a road from one point to another point along the road, not involving <br /> 423 the intersection. <br /> 424 <br /> 425 Amy Cole: Right, but what is the improvement? <br /> 426 <br /> 427 Nish Trivedi: It could be a paved shoulder or improving the condition like repaving, aligning, improving curve radius within a <br /> 428 limited budget. <br /> 429 <br /> 430 <br /> 8 <br />
