D R A F T 3 107 Ed Vaughn: I have a question about ID 20 – 23 – NC-86 between Hillsborough and Chapel Hill. Is there any way to 108 add Shared Use Path? It would also get access to Blackwood Farm Park. It would be a great way to connect the two 109 areas. 110 111 Nish Trivedi: We can but if that is what the OUTBoard recommends. As staff, we are not recommending anything 112 specific complete street option, only that all options be available for these corridors. We would need you as the board 113 to make that specific recommendation for NC-86. If you have any specifics like where you want bike lanes or 114 sidewalks, we will need that support to hopefully get NCDOT and MPO to change their minds. 115 116 Eric Broo: It would be nice to be able to ride that corridor safety, in our next meeting would we just have to take a 117 vote on what we want for these corridors. Is that correct? 118 119 Nish Trivedi: In your attachment 2, you will see the overall project list map and each individual project sheets. You 120 will either recommend BOCC approve or not approve this project and provide comments. In the next meeting, I will 121 request you approve attachment 1. If there are any other recommendations you would like to make, I would need you 122 to vote on it as a board. 123 124 Eric Broo: Would these other recommendations be considered a hindrance, if we were to recommend a specific 125 improvement, would that be considered favorable or hindrance in trying to get it approved in the amendment. 126 127 Nish Trivedi: We as a local jurisdiction do not have final say in the amendment process. The MPO Board does. All 128 we can do is show support. I do not know what you want to see in these corridors, I would need those 129 recommendations from you. If you recommend more than what staff is recommending, MPO may see this as local 130 support and they may move them forward but I cannot speak for the MPO Board or NCDOT. Right now, they have 131 given me a no and I’m trying to change that no. 132 133 Eric Broo: If we blanked approve this, will we have opportunity to make specific recommendations later? 134 135 Nish Trivedi: Yes, until a project gets committed in the future STIP, we will have more time to make 136 recommendations. Right now the CTP is a visionary document and it is changing. Only after SPOT does design 137 actually get involved. We will have more opportunities than. Right now I’m just trying to get you involved in the 138 process to help me change their mind. 139 140 Heidi Perry: Will you give us a statement we can support or modify when we see this again? It would make this go 141 faster if we had it. I think when you include Safety, you should include NC is a Vision Zero state. 142 143 Nish Trivedi: You can email me a draft or I can put something together. 144 145 Ed Vaughn: Where does the I-40 and NC-86 interchange fit into this? 146 147 Nish Trivedi: This interchange improvement has been delayed due to NCDOT funding issues as part of the I-40 148 widening. It is split into 3 projects. 149 150 Eric Broo – Nish will you put a statement together and bring it before us at the next meeting. 151 152 Nish Trivedi: I’ll put something together and get it to you for the next meeting. Reviewed the Cross Section, rural 153 areas will get the wide paved shoulder while urban areas like Hillsborough, Carrboro, Mebane, and Chapel Hill will 154 get curb and gutter. 155 156 Nish Trivedi: This item is for information and review tonight and will go back to the OUTBoard as part of the 157 September 16, 2020 OUTBoard/TAS meeting for recommendations 158 159 5
