203 204 L. Triebert: October of 2023, right? Yeah. 205 206 S. Appel: Thank you. I'm going to keep moving because I don't. 207 208 L. Triebert: I just want to make sure I've got these questions down right. So, about the crash data showing 209 the length of time. Section 4.6.2. is specific to large vehicle crashes, there's also a section on PIED bike 210 crashes, and then at the intro, there's just an overview of crashes in general and which I've got. Do you 211 want as we're coming up on time, do we want to go through and get lists of questions or do you want me 212 to keep talking out responses? 213 214 N. Trivedi: Well, you could understand the need for the crash data and to review the crash that I guess 1 215 presentation that can be one point that can be shown at the April meeting is the existing conditions 216 analysis of the crash data and the recommendations in the issues that the crash data because you're the 217 existing conditions report the analysis of all this crash and traffic and all that stuff was done with a little 218 over a year ago. 219 220 S. Appel: And let me let me let me just throw this out really quick because of your time issue. You say 221 that this report does not include a recommendation to widen the 70 from 2 to 4 lanes. Instead, it assumes 222 that there will be a widening of 70 from 2 to 4 lanes, and based on that assumption, this plan. And when 223 that happens, the NCDOT can use this plan to guide its widening process. Is that correct? 224 225 L. Triebert: Yes. And the multimodal accommodations that would be included with that typical section, 226 such as- 227 228 N. Trivedi: Yeah, the multimodal accommodations cannot be included if it's not included in the study. If 229 you had done the study with just the widening itself, the DOT would use it as leverage to not do any bike- 230 ped accommodations. Because the focus is non-highway, the outcome is the widening because it gives 231 us leverage to DOT to say to them if you do widen this road, we want you to add bike-ped and transit as 232 you do the widening because of complete streets. 233 234 S. Appel: I just want to get this clear. So, Nish, if that is the case, does that also mean that the 235 recommendations, or if there are recommendations on providing some protection of the environmental 236 issues would also be that NCDOT would have to go by that - 237 238 N. Trivedi: Yes, because they would do it through the NEPA, which would be the first step that is required. 239 240 S. Appel: The other thing I just want to comment on it is the electric vehicles. According to the federal 241 government, we are going to try to have majority of electric vehicles in 2050. Is there any combination or 242 reference or will that affect any of the recommendations in this plan?And then I will just turn my mic off. 243 Thank you very much. 244 245 L. Triebert: Or I just I think the quick answer to that is from just kind of an off-the-cuff here in terms of 246 plans for sustainability or infrastructure to the locality. As far as the recommendations of this project, an 247 EV is going to function just like a gas vehicle as far as its presence on the road. And so, I think the 248 sidewalks, the mixed-use pads, and things like that would stay the same from a recommendation 249 standpoint. 250 251 N. Trivedi:And Sherry,just to confirm, we will be working as this plan is approved, if this plan is approved 252 and adopted, we will be using this in coordination with the County's Climate Action Plan, the County 253 Strategic Plan, and the new Land Use 2050 plan that is also going in the process. So, this would give us
