Approved 11/20/19 2 54 Heidi Perry: I think I read a study once that said for every Lane you actually increase the number of crashes. 55 56 Nish Trivedi: NC DOT has a thing called frequency. High frequency crash locations. This data is from 2012-2016. 57 58 Randy Marshall: The data is no longer particularly reliable or valid if the conditions on the road have changed. 59 60 Heidi Perry: We need this data for that year. 61 62 Nish Trivedi: I will get this updated and if there’s any new data for this high frequency. 63 64 Erik Broo: Roundabouts lowers speed on the corridors especially at intersections which is why they’re safer. 65 66 Nish Trivedi: Just to let you know the independent local decisions for the corridor have been made. In November 6 67 2018 Graham Town Council approved the whole study. Not just for their area. Last week, Carrboro made its decision. 68 I don’t want to paraphrase Carrboro, I put a link to the video from last night’s meeting. I highlighted a couple of 69 questions. These are some the issues that I thought were relevant. The decision Carrboro made was rejecting phase I, 70 Old Fayetteville Road to Dodsons Crossroad widening and improvements along that section. 71 72 Tom Altieri: It’s my understanding that there’s a resolution that will be forthcoming. 73 74 Zachary Hallock: I have a timestamp if you want to go and here the exact resolution. 75 76 Nish Trivedi: I have asked the clerk to give a draft so we can so we can include it in the packet for the Board of County 77 Commissioners. And for Graham it was in the minutes which was unanimous, they didn’t do a resolution. 78 79 Art Menius: Can you distribute a link or download to your PowerPoint? There’s a lot of information i n there I’d like to 80 review. 81 82 Nish Trivedi: I’ll send both the PowerPoint and the link. 83 84 Zachary Hallock: The Public input session that is not at a presentation is in Carrboro next Thursday 6 p.m.. We will be 85 there with some images. The consultants will be there and there will be another formal presentation as well with a Q&A 86 session. 87 88 Zachary Hallock: Next week we have the official resolution I’ll get that over to you so you can see exactly we said. 89 90 Nish Trivedi: I will include it in the BOCC packet when BHP presents. The request right now is this a public comment 91 period. You are welcome to make comments, and I will include them and submit them to VHB and Aaron at the MPO 92 and you are also welcomed to make as you are charged to recommendations to the board. 93 94 Heidi Perry: I feel there’s a lot of technology at a lower level that can be implemented a lot sooner that could make 95 intersections safer. There are ways to control speed. We should try to support that to make our roads safer. 96 97 Nish Trivedi: I think VHB touched on that the first public hearing in November. They created a column with the 98 comments of all the comments they received in first public rounds reviewed and they had responses. I think one of the 99 responses involves ITS, Intelligence Transportation System. I’ll look into that and asked them. 100 101 Amy Cole: I would like to know the crash rate differences between a 10-foot lane cost, a 11-foot lane, and a 12-foot 102 lane with the speed limit that we are referring to on 54. 103 104 Nish Trivedi: I think DOT has a library and they did a study on that. I’ll have to look into that and get that information for 105 you because. They have one for capacity, and I think they have one for crash rate as well. 106
