He said Complete Streets only applies to highway projects. <br /> 5 Commissioner Fowler asked what they mean by "modernize." <br /> 6 Nishith Trivedi said it means bringing roads to current design standards, such as land <br /> 7 width and shoulder width. <br /> 8 Commissioner Fowler asked if the current STIP US 70 Improvement project does not <br /> 9 modernize. <br /> 10 Nishith Trivedi said Transportation Advisory Services (TAS) and staff are recommending <br /> 11 that the US 70 project be submitted as it was before, which includes widening and multi-modal <br /> 12 accommodations. He said the OUTBoard is not recommending the widening but to submit it as <br /> 13 modernization. <br /> 14 Commissioner Fowler asked what the difference is between widening and modernization. <br /> 15 Nishith Trivedi said it means to bring it up to current standards such as add more pavement <br /> 16 and add more shoulder. <br /> 17 Chair Bedford asked if the county just had a two-year consultant study for US 70. <br /> 18 Nishith Trivedi said yes, and he said he could submit that study as is if the Board wanted <br /> 19 him to. <br /> 20 Commissioner Carter asked why the OUTBoard recommended removing the NC 54 <br /> 21 project. <br /> 22 Nishith Trivedi said it was the widening, which could lead to increased demand and more <br /> 23 cars on the road. <br /> 24 Commissioner Carter asked if the final recommendation is to remove those. <br /> 25 Nishith Trivedi said TAS is submitting them as they were approved. <br /> 26 <br /> 27 <br />
