22 <br /> Orange County & NCDOT Highway Luncheon <br /> Division 7 and District 1 <br /> August 18, 2021 12:00 p.m. <br /> Pam: I know that Bergen is in touch of Chuck. We put off the resurfacing of Ephesus Church <br /> Road for the bike lanes. The roundabout should be done before the resurfacing. The hotel will <br /> be a while longer. <br /> Tom A: Just a brief ask of NCDOT. I wanted to extend a thank you to Chuck, Pat and the <br /> others for their ongoing coordination and diplomacy with us for our many questions. If you <br /> would pass along to Tommy Byrd in the Orange County Maintenance Yard a thank you as well. <br /> The ask: with regard to resurfacing, on Highway 70 from Churton Street to Alamance County; it <br /> all looks good. I know that some of the heaviest travelled roads have reflectors. I was <br /> wondering if we could get those re-installed. <br /> Chuck: We can check the contract, so those should be put back. <br /> Pat: If it's a primary route, it will have markers put on it. Tom, if there are any other issues, <br /> please let us know. <br /> - Craig: They recently completed an economic development roadway on West Ten Road from <br /> Buckhorn to Mt. Willing. The project came out very good. It was a team effort from our <br /> Economic Development team with NCDOT. <br /> IV. ADDITIONAL ITEMS <br /> A. Mt. Willing Road and Buckhorn Road Intersection — Funding and Installation Progress <br /> B. Phase 2 of MTSA Study— Pedestrian Counts for Cedar Ridge HS and New Grady Brown <br /> Elementary <br /> - Chuck: We are still committed to doing a pedestrian study. We did complete the vehicular <br /> study and have shared that previously with the schools. We will continue to work with the <br /> school system and the County staff, so we will wait and see, but we are committed to this. <br /> - Renee: This has been an issue since I was on the OUTBoard. <br /> - Jenn: This feels very important that we get an accurate count that is timely. It's not in <br /> Hillsborough but it feels like it's in Hillsborough, and the residents are concerned. <br /> - Chuck: There are concerns about crossing the bridge, but some of the study will also be for <br /> pedestrian activity between the two schools. We'll be looking at what has changed in the <br /> movement of students between schools? <br /> - Stephanie: With the 1-40 widening through the County, is that bridge replaced for widening and <br /> replacement? <br /> - Chuck: The bridge over 1-40 would stay in place and not be replaced with this improvement <br /> project. <br /> 4 <br />
