271 <br /> 272 Tom Altieri: Okay. Note taken. <br /> 273 <br /> 274 MOTION by Heidi Perry to end and the recommendation of dissolving the subcommittee and folding the work into this body. <br /> 275 Seconded by Todd Jones. <br /> 276 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 277 <br /> 278 <br /> 279 AGENDA ITEM 5B: DRAFT CARRBORO BIKE PLAN(ZACHARY HALLOCK) <br /> 280 <br /> 281 Zachary Hallock provided maps for the Board and reviewed the Draft Carrboro Bike Plan. The next steps are for Carrboro to <br /> 282 get a completed draft by the end of this month which will be forwarded to DOT for review at the same time. Staff interest <br /> 283 was to have another opportunity to have the OUTBoard provide comments on the full draft plan probably around September <br /> 284 or October. <br /> 285 <br /> 286 Heidi Perry: When do you expect to show it to the Board of Alderman? <br /> 287 <br /> 288 Zachary Hallock: Sometime in the fall. November might be the window based on how busy they are. <br /> 289 <br /> 290 Heidi Perry: I noticed that the Jones Creek Greenway had gone out again for a second bid. <br /> 291 <br /> 292 Alyson West: The Morgan Creek one is the one that keeps going out. <br /> 293 <br /> 294 Zachary Hallock: Morgan Creek. Jones Creek is in design. <br /> 295 <br /> 296 Randy Marshall: Is there any designation that separates commuter cycling from recreational cycling? <br /> 297 <br /> 298 Zachary Hallock: Recreational cycling is a different beast than the commuting traffic which tends to be shorter length. <br /> 299 There hasn't really been that specific intentionality and how these routes are designated. <br /> 300 <br /> 301 Randy Marshall: Is there any thought to having traffic counts for bicyclist? <br /> 302 <br /> 303 Zachary Hallock: I know the MPO's do traffic counts, bicycle and pedestrian counts and streamline counts. In terms of what <br /> 304 the Town itself has done, is cut a little bit outside of our manpower in the scope of the plan, but there's data that we use to <br /> 305 work with. <br /> 306 <br /> 307 Heidi Perry: There is a counter right at Old 86 going out of Carrboro that they've been taking counts from, and it shows 250 <br /> 308 bikes on a Saturday. <br /> 309 <br /> 310 Randy Marshall: But that's simply a matter of justification as to the higher priority for putting bike lanes there. <br /> 311 <br /> 312 Heidi Perry: They just don't score well.Just to talk about Old 86. It's been looked at in different lights because it is an <br /> 313 economic tourism tool from Hillsborough to Carrboro which gives people a route that way, it also is the shortest difference <br /> 314 between Carrboro and Hillsborough to work, meet, or have recreation. Bottom line we want them to be used for both. <br /> 315 <br /> 316 Alyson West: The demand is there on Old 86 and should be calculated in the STIP which it isn't. That's another reason to <br /> 317 revise how that scoring works. <br /> 318 <br /> 319 Nish Trivedi: In terms of SPOT scoring,were are currently going through SPOT 6.0. The bike scoring for bike-ped Project <br /> 320 6.0 is totally different than 5.0 and 5.0 was totally different than 4.0. 4.0 was when it became very quantitative and more <br /> 321 detailed. From my experience, 7.0 is going to be radically different than 6.0 and it constantly changes and evolves. We <br /> 322 have staff do our best to keep up with DOT and how their workgroups do things. <br /> 323 <br /> 324 Erik Broo: In our group,we talk about Old Fayetteville between Hillsborough Road and Calvander because that stretch of <br />
