BOx 8181 <br />200 S. CAMERON STREET <br />HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. 27278 <br />December 7, 1999 <br />Mr. J. Douglas Galyon <br />Division 7, Member <br />NC Board of Transportation <br />1 South Wilmington Street <br />Raleigh, N.C. 27611 <br />Dear Mr. Galyon: <br />Enclosed with this letter you will find this year's <br />"Orange County Transportation Priority List for Consideration <br />of Funding in The Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan <br />Transportation Improvement.Program." <br />The first section addresses three projects in Orange. <br />County that are within the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro <br />Metropolitan Planning Area. Our number one priority project <br />continues to be improvements to Homestead Road (U-2805) to <br />address school safety issues. It is important that <br />improvements to Homestead Road not be delayed from the <br />scheduled construction date in 2004, .and it would be <br />desirable if the project could be advanced. We were <br />disappointed that the construction date has already slipped <br />from mid-2001 to 2004. <br />The second section describes the projects Orange County <br />is requesting for the parts of the county that lie outside <br />the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Area.. We hope <br />that`you will be able to fund. these highway, transit and <br />bicycle improvements. <br />Thank you for your time and consideration of Orange <br />County's. transportation needs. If you would like to discuss <br />this matter in detail, please contact Beverly Blythe, Clerk <br />to the Board of County Commissioners at (919) 732-8181, <br />extension 2130. <br />Sincerely, <br />0~,:.-m. <br />Alice M. Gordon, Chair <br />You Count /n Orange County <br />AREA CODE(919) 245-2130 FAX(919) 644-0246 <br />
