18 <br /> Commissioner Greene asked about project 12, regarding Old NC-86 (SR-1009). She said <br /> she heard that the reason it is not funded is because it needs to go between two destinations, <br /> and the state doesn't consider it meeting the requirements. <br /> Nishith Trivedi said that when it comes to bike improvements, it requires connectivity, <br /> density, and demand. He said that it has to have a destination. He said there is crash data and it <br /> meets some of the criteria, but not all of the requirements. He said Carrboro has a bike-ped plan <br /> to pursue areas south of that area. He said they are continuing to coordinate to find the best ways <br /> to improve areas of density and rural areas. <br /> Commissioner Portie-Ascott asked about the US-70 project and how it was not <br /> recommended when it has more fatalities and property damage that other ones. <br /> Nishith Trivedi said that with SPOT 6 it became a county priority and the MPS pursued a <br /> comprehensive study of that corridor. He said when the study is completed, it will identify specific <br /> projects in that corridor that people will support so they can pursue those for future SPOT cycles. <br /> He said that he hopes to come back to the Board with key recommendations for future SPOTs in <br /> the fall or winter this year. He said the only thing remaining the for US-70 is a potential widening <br /> at Pleasant Green. <br /> Commissioner Fowler asked what the green and red dots mean on the chart. <br /> Nishith Trivedi said the red dots were submitted for scoring and the green are rail projects <br /> and are funded. <br /> Slide #26 <br /> Next Step <br /> TIC S u lm-ommittees Roerd a Approve projecs <br /> IF <br /> I! 0 <br /> 9tores projects <br /> lu <br /> Pr -mil F-0- . <br /> Updates scores Draft STIP <br /> �r, <br />
