Mr Walston is currently identifying and prioritizing his Unit's work <br />activities for Fiscal Year 2005. <br />It will remain the responsibility of the NCDOT's Transportation Planning Branch to conduct the <br />comprehensive updates for county thoroughfare plans. The most recent thoroughfare plan report for <br />Orange County was published in 1990.. Any prospective update of this plan and its associated <br />thoroughfare plan map will require the muhral approval of the NCDOT and Orange County.. Should you <br />desire the NCDOT's consideration for an update of this plan to begin during Fiscal Year 2005, it is <br />recommended that you infornz Mr. Walston of your specific interest in writing. <br />Please remember that a comprehensive transportation plan for Orange County will be a separate <br />requirement from the long-range transportation plan for the Triangle Area Rura] Planning Organization <br />Region. -this latter item will be a twenty-five year, multi-modal plan for the four county RPO region. it <br />will be developed from the available county transportation and thoroughfare plans and fronT other <br />pertinent resources.. <br />For your ready reference, Mr Walston's address is as follows: Scott Walston, P E ,Triangle Planning <br />Supervisor, Transportation Planning Branch, NCDOT, 1554 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North <br />Carolina, 27699-1554.
