No Attachments e) NCDOT Work -Churton Street New Signalization System North Carolina Department of Transportation is completing the new traffic signalization system along Churton Street from Oakdale to US 70 Bypass. The new traffic lights are connected to in- ground roadway `loops' that detect the amount and frequency of traffic around intersections. This information is monitored by a central computer system and adjustments can be made to improve traffic flow during the various times of the year. This type of system, if coupled with a traffic access management system (i.e. regulating driveway openings, etc.) can reduce traffic congestion. No Attachments fl Hazard Mitigation Program On July 30, 2002, Orange County submitted a full Hazard Mitigation Plan and resolutions of joint plan adoption from the towns of Hillsborough and Carrboro to the North Carolina Department of Emergency Management. State Mitigation Planner Nathan Slaughter reviewed the plan and addressed sections where more information was needed to meet FEMA Region IV Minimum Standards. Since that review, FEMA has made some adjustments to the Minimum Standards, requiring additional modification of the plan. The final plan must be approved by November 1, 2004 in order to receive federal and state mitigation funds. No Attachments 9.
