Survey Open Comments <br /> Please note that comments have not been edited to correct spelling, grammar, or syntax errors. <br /> D. you have any other comments or questions about how projects <br /> should <br /> We need more transparency about services available and how it's <br /> funded, also it is vital that outreach includes people that live in Cedar <br /> Grove and in rural parts of Orange county where wi-fi is not good. <br /> Sending letters in the mail to the seniors that use transportation for <br /> lunch would be way to ensure that their voices are heard. Senior Accessibility <br /> Greenways, greenways, greenways. I want to see Hillsborough and <br /> Orange County interconnect its neighborhoods and towns via <br /> Greenways that allow bicycle and pedestrian traffic access as viable <br /> transportation options for interested individuals. For Bike/Ped <br /> More access to the elderly in rural areas of the county. Senior Accessibility <br /> On March 27th I was on the OCT bus at 10:15am. I disembarked in <br /> Chapel Hill and waited for the GoTriangle van to Morrisville where I had <br /> a medical appointment. The Dr was busy and I almost missed the van to <br /> make the return trip where I reached home at 6:21. 1 can't do this Senior Accessibility; <br /> repeatedly. You should be making it easier for seniors and disabled to Local/Regional <br /> access necessary services. Develop sensibilities.

Roadway Design; Against <br /> dairyland rd, rocky ridge, Bicycle <br /> Top priority should be providing regional rail and Bus Rapid transit to <br /> where the jobs are. That would be RTI, Durham and Raleigh. The <br /> existing highways 40 and 85 are at capacity now and will only get worse. <br /> We have a rail line that goes from Raleigh to Charlotte let's use it For Transit; Local/Regional <br /> _provide transportation to the Research Triangle area. Connectivity <br /> More money needs to be spent on bike/ped projects including <br /> connectivity between Chapel Hill and Hillsborough. Also need more <br /> walkable (greenways,footpaths,whatever) connectivity within those <br /> places. Bottom line- less money for roads, more money for bike/ped <br /> (and light/commuter rail). For Bike/Ped <br /> My transportation priority would be light rail within Orange County and Local/Regional <br /> connectivity to the Triangle Connectivity; For Transit <br /> It is important to bring fast rail service to all the metropolitan areas. For Transit; Local/Regional <br /> Would love a train to Raleigh downtown! Connectivity <br />
