BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Orange County submits the following comments regarding <br /> the Regional Transit Vision Plan as it relates to rail service: <br /> The rail vision plan should consider other possible existing rail corridors in the region as <br /> possible elements for expansion and to enhance the viability of the rail vision plan. <br /> The commuter rail service is not shown on maps depicting the Special Transit Advisory <br /> Commission's recommended rail vision plan, although the STAC report recognizes the need <br /> for coordination with other plans and initiatives for transportation options that might be <br /> extended to commuters from regions coming into the region along the North Carolina Railroad <br /> corridor. The Fixed Guideway Option includes all the STAC recommendations and the project <br /> tables in Section 4 list this commuter rail project as a STAC recommendation. <br /> The rail vision plan should include direct service to the Raleigh-Durham International Airport. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Nelson to <br /> adjourn the meeting at 10:04 pm. <br /> Barry Jacobs, Chair <br /> Donna S. Baker, CMC <br /> Clerk to the Board <br />
