DRAFT 112 implementation, because of the urban areas of Orange County and Durham. This is a long-term process 113 to help address the safety concerns. 114 DOT does not want to put a light at the intersection, I would still like to encourage them to do an 115 evaluation of the area and a feasibility study to determine the possible location of where the light 116 should be placed during certain hours, and they could track the account. Orange County will submit a 117 spot safety request for the intersection, rely on their data and contact the sheriff office for additionally 118 data. 119 On Franklin Street project, where they created the bike lanes, there was a fatality where a guy ran into 120 an open door. So as part of the street design they put in vertical elastic. Would like to ask Chuck Edwards 121 that question, why couldn't DOT do that on the white stripe on the bridge that denotes the travel light 122 because the other side of that looks like there's 3 feet. It's low cost and it would help give drivers and 123 pedestrians a visual they don't currently have. Was Orange County the Franklin Street project a 124 highway project, called the road diet? During the normal resurfacing, we worked with DOT for a new 125 pavement marking. We worked with DOT to do a traffic analysis to show that the paint would move 126 narrower and cut down a couple of lanes. I think the vertical delineators. The white posts were paid for 127 and maintained by Chapel Hill. When they get knocked down, we put them back up. We've got a stock of 128 them in our warehouse for the project. Franklin street was a resurfacing. Yes, however we have had a 129 little bit of success with getting DOT to allow us to put in some of those vertical delineators, but it does 130 cost the local government, it's something that's worth exploring. Its not the most expensive thing in the 131 world, but you do have to buy them, and you do have to have folks who can put them in the ground, 132 which I think is where the county kind has a little bit of a leg behind the towns. The town has Public 133 Works department that is used to maintain and pave our streets in Chapel Hill and the county doesn't 134 have the history of maintaining streets. So, that's a skill that would have to be added or added to 135 existing towns. Orange County does not have funding mechanism for transportation. Could Orange 136 County and Chapel Hill work together and Orange County do contract with Chapel Hill? Or Could the 137 School Board get involved? Chapel Hill could ask and see. Could you provide the cost of Chapel Hills cost 138 of the delineators? Chapel Hill would provide Orange County follow up email regarding the cost. 139 140 Another item from the DOT is called the ninth of vitamin, highway maintenance improvement program 141 in Hillsborough. The HMIP is a 4-year plan updated every year, it's the roads being resurfaced. DOT has 142 maintenance improvement list and anytime Orange Grove is on that list we will have contact DOT. 143 Orange County will work the resurfacing the bill and cost and see what other opportunities we can 144 provide and work with the team. 145 146 Topics for new meeting: 1. Resident Nash Street wants to create an arboretum and they have drafted a 147 resolution. They would like to come to the August meeting and talk about the arboretum that connects 148 on the E trail and get local support improving the residential community. 2. Two studies, planning 149 projects the require online access that will run locally. 150 4
