23 <br /> <br />Commissioner Greene asked if Phase 1 of the Morgan Creek greenway is completed. <br />Travis Myren said yes, but the Greensboro Street sidewalk has not yet been done. <br /> <br /> <br /> Commissioner McKee asked if the involved staff could be identified. <br />Travis Myren said staff is from the County, the DCHC-MPO, Carrboro, Chapel Hill, <br />Mebane, GoTriangle and Hillsborough on the Steering Committee. <br />Commissioner McKee asked if there are any GoTriangle Staff or transit providers on the <br />Steering Committee. <br />Travis Myren said GoTriangle staff have been included in the discussions, and will be <br />needed to adopt the plan. <br />Commissioner McKee said it is important to know and understand what the County and <br />its residents need, and not just consider the provider needs. <br />Commissioner Price clarified that the providers would not make the selections. <br />Travis Myren said that is correct; the BOCC, GoTriangle, and the DCHC-MPO would <br />need to approve the plan, and the towns do not. <br />Commissioner McKee said the Towns have representation, but it is County money and <br />thus the County has two representatives. He said his only concern would be that GoTriangle or <br />DCHC-MPO would have a larger say than the County. <br />Travis Myren said neither the GoTriangle Board, nor the DCHC-MPO Board, would have <br />appointed representatives. <br />Chair Rich said the final vote is between GoTriangle, the MPO and Orange County; the <br />towns are on the Steering Committee, but are not involved in the final vote.
