18 <br /> 1 Commissioner Greene asked about project 12, regarding Old NC-86 (SR-1009). She said <br /> 2 she heard that the reason it is not funded is because it needs to go between two destinations, <br /> 3 and the state doesn't consider it meeting the requirements. <br /> 4 Nishith Trivedi said that when it comes to bike improvements, it requires connectivity, <br /> 5 density, and demand. He said that it has to have a destination. He said there is crash data and it <br /> 6 meets some of the criteria, but not all of the requirements. He said Carrboro has a bike-ped plan <br /> 7 to pursue areas south of that area. He said they are continuing to coordinate to find the best ways <br /> 8 to improve areas of density and rural areas. <br /> 9 Commissioner Portie-Ascott asked about the US-70 project and how it was not <br /> 10 recommended when it has more fatalities and property damage that other ones. <br /> 11 Nishith Trivedi said that with SPOT 6 it became a county priority and the MPS pursued a <br /> 12 comprehensive study of that corridor. He said when the study is completed, it will identify specific <br /> 13 projects in that corridor that people will support so they can pursue those for future SPOT cycles. <br /> 14 He said that he hopes to come back to the Board with key recommendations for future SPOTs in <br /> 15 the fall or winter this year. He said the only thing remaining the for US-70 is a potential widening <br /> 16 at Pleasant Green. <br /> 17 Commissioner Fowler asked what the green and red dots mean on the chart. <br /> 18 Nishith Trivedi said the red dots were submitted for scoring and the green are rail projects <br /> 19 and are funded. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 Slide #26 <br /> Next Step <br /> TC Sub-committees Boards Approve projects <br /> $-cores projacta <br /> MP01 - ' <br /> Provides Local Input Points <br /> Updates scores Drafb STIP <br /> 22 � <br /> 23 <br /> 24 <br />
