3 6 <br />roads are welcomed and exist on the plans of other communities. Wake County, for instance, <br />has subregional plans that cite 'new arterials/surface streets as desirable, if funding is <br />available. According to Mayor Lang, Cary will soon decide to spend many, many millions <br />over the next decade to build and improve arterial roads. Durham also is interested in new <br />arterials and collectors, though to a lesser degree than Wake, and Durham does not have <br />Cary's resources. This plan's figures reflect no new money and no new alignments for <br />arterials and collectors in Orange County. <br />To sum up, a decision to build arterials and collectors is obviously a decision made by local <br />government. This plan reflects and respects the particular and differing positions of the local <br />governments within our region. <br />Current Activities <br />The mayors' group continues to meet at least once a month to plan speaking engagements, <br />confer on the status of transportation discussions in the General Assembly, and strategize <br />about haw we can get the public interested, informed and active on this topic.
