We have made it 36 difficult to let the presenter finish the presentation. If you have a burning question, get an authorization from me to 37 interrupt. We will always have a question/answer time after the presentation. 38 39 40 AGENDA ITEM IV: REGULAR AGENDA41 a.Board discussion with NCDOT to include the following topics: 42 i.Issues with some bike and pedestrian projects within the county (i.e. the quality 43 of the two-foot widening on Dairyland, prioritizing the widening of Old NC 86 at 44 Calvander, and the destruction of road surfaces during the gas line construction 45 on Mt. Sinai and other connecting roads, and opportunities for improved 46 coordination with, or oversight of state contractors during project construction).47 48 ii.The status ofany state discussions/projects related to the feasibility of using 49 existing triangle region railway infrastructure for commuter rail purposes as part 50 of a multi-modal transportation system.51 52 iii.Issues related to private street conversions for acceptance intothe state 53 maintained system.54 55 3 ReturntoAgenda D R A F T iv.Available resources for minor improvements at problem sites/intersections within 56 the county.57 58 v.Pedestrian safety concerns on (new) Hwy 86/I-40 bridge overpass.59 60 vi.Other topics as raised by the Board.61 62 OUTBoard Action:Receive information and participate in discussion.63 64 b.Review of selected private road and access standards from the Unified Development 65 Ordinance (UDO) Section 7.8 Access and Roadways.66 67 OUTBoard Action:Review selected standards and recommend to the BOCC that 68 planning staff review/revise and develop amendments.69 70 71 Abigaile Pittman had Jeff Charles describe photos. 72 73 Jeff Charles: I am the bicycling advocate for the Boardand I am also on the Chapel Hill Bike Ped Board andI’ve 74 been appointed to the new TARPO bike planningthat is coming up. Dairyland is a key bicycling route in the county. I 75 would like to give credit to the fine jobdone onNC 10 and that was our expectation as to what would happen on 76 Dairyland. I went to the intersection of Union Grove Road and Dairyland and drove up to Maple View Ice Cream 77 Store. Most of these photosare on the right side of the road going toward Maple View. (Displayed photos).78 79 Chuck Edwards: The issues with the PSNC gas lines goingin. Public Service gas has a large comprehensive 80 project to put in new gas lines and they are affecting a lot ofstate maintained roads. The instrument used is an 81 encroachment agreement that spells who is responsible for what. This is to be expected with the extent of the work 82 they are doing. Prior to a final inspection, we will look at areas like this and if there is damage that warrants repair, 83 we shouldrequire them to do that. Back to Dairyland Road, it was included on our secondary road construction 84 program presented to the BOCC. This was a time we were moving secondary road construction funds from their 85 primary purpose of paving unpaved roads to going toward paved road improvements because we have effectively86 paved out the available unpaved county roads in the county. Our project was to widen the pavement on the road two 87 feet and resurface. The existing pavement is variable. This is a low tech project. It is not intended to be specifically 88 a bike ped type of project, just a safety improvement. Because of that variability and the way the pavement is89 marked, the widthdoes vary.We are looking at doing Lebanon Road in the Mebane area and a portion ofNew 90 Sharon Church Road. All remaining unpaved roads were reprioritized by a competing statewide basis for $12 million 91 dollars total. 92 93 Jeff Charles: In the past, we have talked about Old 86, the Calvander section,as part of a bigger improvement of 94 taking Old 86 all the way to Hillsborough. Is there a way to partition it?95 96 Chuck Edwards: For the past few years, I was relying on the secondary paved improvements to deal with some of 97 these routes. A road like Old 86 is typically not going to be paved ina single year anyway.98 99 Jeff Charles: Our hope was that if the Hogan Farmarea would donate the right-of-way, it would reduce the cost.100 101 Chuck Edwards: Yes.102 103 Jeff Charles: How do you do that?104 105 Chuck Edwards: There are ways to do that and there may already be dedicated right-of-way.106 107 Abigaile Pittman: We recently had an Orange County Expo and the planning departmenthad to man atable for four 108 hours. We had of our bike map and I only got one comment consistently. They picked up the bike map and said this 109 is a hot issue for me because when I try to drive through the county roads, the bikers don’t have anywhere to ride.110 111 4 ReturntoAgenda D R A F T Chuck Edwards: That reflects in the list.112 113 Abigaile Pittman: Thenext topic on the agenda isa discussion of the status of any state discussions/projects related 114 to the feasibility of using existing triangle region railway infrastructure for commuter rail purposes as part of a multi-115 modal transportation system.Ms. Pittman showed the Board a copy of the 2008 commuter rail capacity study done 116 by HNTB. 117 118 Chuck Edwards: I tried to get information about this topic before tonight’s meeting and failed.119 120 Paul Guthrie: I was on the task force that looked at the Hillsborough Rail Station. There was a lot of conceptual 121 planningabout the railroad right-of-way. Is anyone paying attentionto the fact that we have a 300-foot right-of-way 122 through the county that could be used for transportational purposes?123 124 Ed Lewis: I had an opportunity to attend the TSS (Traffic Separation Study) workshop.125 126 Paul Guthrie: At some level, this project is not going to move becauseyou ask but for a lot of other reasons. As this 127 position comes out, this could be a good time for an opportunitythat this couldbecome the key ingredient in 128 beginning anintegrated transportation system in this county.129 130 Alex Castro: The Research Triangle Foundation which is doing a revamping of the RTP, in their presentation, they 131 have two commuter rail stations, one which will provide shuttles to RDU airport. 132 133 Abigaile Pittman: The next topic of discussion is issues related to private street conversions for acceptance into the 134 state maintained system.Typical issues are people in subdivisions with private streets and the burden of maintaining 135 that over years, and then they decide they want the state to take over maintenance of the state.136 137 Chuck Edwards: The process starts when the developer has to make a decision as to whether he wants to pursue 138 state maintained or privately maintained roads. The bottom line is if they choose state maintained, it has to be 139 designed by our standards. DOT is involved in the beginning.Once we sign off, the developer will take it, develop it 140 and sellhomes. Once he meets a certain threshold of a certain house count per mile he can petition the road for 141 state maintenance. There are times when usually the homeowners want to pursue state maintenance for a private 142 road. The issues are the private roadshave a private right-of-way so it is not eligible for that alone. So there has to 143 be a conversion. The typical issue that we deal with is school stops. School buses won’t go down a private road. 144 There are moderate subdivisions that are built to the design and construction standards of a state maintained road, it 145 is a matter of replating the private to public but we have learnedthat can create issues with the county as to whether 146 that developer was trying to circumvent the subdivision regulations.147 148 Abigaile Pittman: There is problem ifthe road has been constructed to our Class B standards and they have to 149 overcome issues such as the placement of utilities, road widening, ditching, and encroachments. It is almost 150 impossible to overcome and sometimes the maintenance cost on those roads becomes a huge burdenon the 151 property owners. 152 153 Chuck Edwards: The Class B road, we sometimes refer to those as a glorified driveway and it isnot be feasible to 154 bring them upto our standards.155 156 Abigaile Pittman: Another topic for discussionis if there are available resourcesfor minor improvements at problem 157 sites/intersections within the county.I have been in discussion with Orange County School Districts regarding several 158 sites. There are issues with intersections to their driveways, wherethey need minor improvements to help the flow of 159 traffic. We have a list of improvements, what do I do with that list and arethere any available funds?160 161 Chuck Edwards: There is a group within our traffic engineering branch called Municipal School and Transit 162 Assistance (MSTA)and their purpose is to help school systems solve existing problems and avoid future ones. 163 Funding is fairly low at this point butthere are ways to get funding and you need to ask.164 165 Ted Triebel: One that comes immediately to mind is the Cameron ParkElementary and St. Mary’s Road;has that 166 been looked at?167 5 ReturntoAgenda D R A F T 168 Chuck Edwards: It has been looked at. Recommendations have been made for internal improvements. We will be 169 glad to revisit that.170 171 Jeff Charles: The ChapelHill Bike Ped Board received a letter from a gentlemanthat lived of Whitfield and he walks 172 into Chapel Hill area and his concern was the new 86 and I40 Bridgefor pedestrians. We weren’t sure if it was in the 173 Town or County.174 175 Chuck Edwards: We received the same information. Our traffic folks are looking at that. An obvious thing was the 176 bridge was not designed for pedestrian walking. 177 178 Paul Guthrie:Are yougiving attention to the deteriorationof the old Kerr Scott Bridges? 179 180 Chuck Edwards: Absolutely. 181 182 Paul Guthrie: Some things tend to get overlooked. How are you approaching that issue?183 184 Chuck Edwards: One well-funded program we have is for the replacement of public bridges. 185 186 Paul Guthrie:I’ll give you one example, Old Greensboro Road and Phil’s Creek Bridge.There is more and more 187 heavy truck traffic using that road, 18 wheelers and every time they go down that hill they knock another hole in the 188 pavement. I assume you are doing regular inspection of these older bridges.189 190 Chuck Edwards: I wish I had brought my list, I will get back with Abigaile with more information.191 192 Jeff Charles: NCDOT worked on onebridge on Arthur Minnisnear Borland. There is another old bridge by that one 193 that was actually in worse shape. Do you know if that one is prioritized?194 195 Chuck Edwards: Yes. They are handled by a design contractor.196 197 Jeff Charles: That will hit the cyclingcommunity hard.198 199 Chuck Edwards: We do reach out to others on these projects to provide public information.200 201 Abigaile Pittman: In theBuckhorn Economic Development District, there is old bridge on the south perimeter. We 202 wouldn’t want it replaced as it is because the development in the areawill be industrial. When you look at these 203 issues with related land use changes involved,do you consider upgrading the bridge to accommodate industrial 204 traffic? 205 206 Chuck Edwards: Under this program, we are trying to get the best bang for the buck. At some point, if there is a 207 need to change that, that particular bridge may not fit this program but another program.208 209 Paul Guthrie: If there are no other topics, we can move on.210 211 Chuck Edwards: Abigaile is giving out information about resurfacing roads.212 213 Abigaile Pittman: Reviewed information.Elizabeth Gregory will tell us about some of the problems encountered with 214 emergency service vehicles on these 12-foot private road standards.215 216 Elizabeth Gregory: The main problem is the width because fire trucks are large and the ambulances also. People do 217 not realize the county has no hydrants so the fire truck cannot hook up to a hydrant. They have to shuttle water 218 which means trucks go to water sources and fill the truck that is on the scene of the fire. The main problem is the 219 trucks have to turn around, so if they can’t pass each other. Our standard when weget into a subdivision is 20 feet 220 but we try to work with DOTwith their standard of 18 feet. When you get down to 12 feetas in the Class B roadway,221 they will need to send a smaller fire truck which holds less water. It is an access problem. Fire trucks are very 222 expensive. If there are roads they cannot get down; they need to wait for another fire truck to get additional hose. 223 6 ReturntoAgenda D R A F T 224 Jeff Charles: What is the limit of length because of the pressure issue?225 226 Elizabeth Gregory: You can go as far as you want. We have learned who helps us the most with this issue is the 227 insurance company. They tell them itis important to have a driveway large enough to get a fire truck down. Also, 228 there are problems with ambulancesas a safety for both the patient and the workers. The biggest complaint we hear 229 from fire departments is access.230 231 AbigailePittman: What are some typical widths of the fire trucks and ambulances?232 233 Elizabeth Gregory: The ambulances are 12 foot. Fire trucks are usually that size but a latter truck is wider. 234 235 Abigaile Pittman: What is the width of the ladder truck?236 237 Elizabeth Gregory: I am not sure.238 239 Abigaile Pittman: We have a related issue that you may be able to comment on. There are types of subdivisions that 240 are exempt from the county’s subdivision regulations. The staff would like you to discuss doing away with the Class 241 B roads and only allow Class A and to develop a requirement that newly created lots have access to a compiling 242 road.243 244 Jeff Charles: This is all new construction.245 246 Abigaile Pittman: To allow reasonable and affordable options for small subdivisions, staff suggests consideration of a 247 revision that may allow three lots to share a driveway as long as they are designed so the emergency service 248 vehicles can turn around and it is not longer than a certain determinednumber of feet. There would have to be 249 discussion as to what that numberis.250 251 Elizabeth Gregory: A lot of it has to do with if it is a 20-foot wide road,or if it has a hydrant and it should be 26 feet 252 wide.What we ask for is a 96-foot radius because a fire truck does not run like a car. The money for fire trucks and 253 ambulances comes from the tax payer.254 255 Jeff Charles: How do you approach the condition of the surface for turning around?256 257 Elizabeth Gregory: If you hit bumps in the road in an ambulanceand it costs $250,000. That makes a difference.258 259 Jeff Charles: Over the coming years, there will be more of the Tobacco Trail situations where you need emergency 260 services, not a fire truck. Maybe we should add a fourth item of concern to staff’s list about emergency access to trail 261 systems. I am recommending you think about that.262 263 Paul Guthrie: I was comparing the Fire Code in Appendix D with the local ordinance and why is there a disconnect 264 when the Fire Code requires a much greater capability than this.265 266 Abigaile Pittman: We connect with the NCDOT standards for the Class A roadways. 267 268 Paul Guthrie: As Ms. Gregory mentioned regarding turn around, there is no way a fire truck could make use of that 269 turn around.270 271 Abigaile Pittman: I think it would tough to change the Class A since NCDOT has this adopted 18-footstandard. 272 273 Ted Triebel: I think the action you are asking for tonight is for us to suggest to the Boardof County Commissioners 274 that it is time for review these standards. 275 276 Abigaile Pittman: We are not asking you to decide what those standards are but to tell the BOCC what you think the 277 issues are they need to have staff reviewthemand bring back more detail.278 279 7 ReturntoAgenda D R A F T Ted Triebel: This problem has existed for decades in this county. My question is whether there would beany 280 documentation as to havethis proven to be a problem in 5 out of 100, etc. Is this a problem or not?281 282 Elizabeth Gregory: As far as documentation, I believe the fire departments, when they do their incident reports to 283 the state or fire marshal they documentif they had an access issue. We have not pulled the actual statistics. If we 284 can’t access one person, one house,itis a huge issue.We can research thatinformation. 285 286 Ted Triebel: Anytime we make a big change, thereneeds to be a data to back it up. 287 288 Paul Guthrie: As I understand the recommendation, you are asking this Boardto tell the BOCC to have staff to take 289 a look at this issue.290 291 Abigaile Pittman: We are saying if you agreewith staff’s recommendations,then recommend to the BOCC that they 292 have the staffcontinue to research it. 293 294 MOTION made by Jeff Charles to accept recommendations for the staff with the addition of the emergency access 295 for trailsystems. Seconded by Alex Castro.296 VOTE:Unanimous297 298 Ted Triebel: I live right by Little River Park which is a joint Durham/Orange County Park. We can look at those type 299 parks to say, this is what we accept as risks and this is what we think we shouldn’t accept.300 301 302 AGENDA ITEM V: STAFF UPDATES303 a.Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Action Plan304 OUTBoard Action: Receive updates305 306 Abigaile Pittman: Last night, the BOCC adopted the Safe Routes to School Action Plan. The next step is we will be 307 establishing a committee for implementation activities and they will be planning staff from Orange County, from the 308 Town of Hillsborough, someone from the School Board, the original steering committee and one or twomembers309 from the OUTBoard. 310 311 312 AGENDA ITEM VI: BOARD COMMENTS313 OUTBoard Action:Receive commentsand participate in discussion.314 a.Chair initiated a comment session regarding Board members’ thoughts on the 315 following potential topics:316 i.Critical transportation issues for Orange County, now and into the future.317 ii.The role of the OUTBoard in the examining of the difficulties in transportation 318 planning brought about by the programmatic fragmentation of current 319 transportation planning and funding.320 iii.Improved OUTBoard engagement of Orange County residents’ transportation 321 concerns.322 iv.Improving OUTBoard advisory service to the Board of County Commissioners.323 v.Agenda development.324 vi.The role of each member of the Board.325 vii.Meeting format, including presentations and member participation.326 327 OUTBoard Action: Receive comments and participate in discussion.328 329 Paul Guthrie: I would like to pose several questions for the Boardto considerover the next several meetings:income 330 and housing locations, work locations, school locations, affordable housing, income diversity, a discombobulating of331 transportation planning and providers, public and private, a lack of resources in revenue and authority statutory for 332 the city and county, the state governments role and responsibility and the costs and uncertainty of the future. The 333 role of the OUTBoard in examining the difficulties in transportation planning brought about by the programmatic 334 fragmentation of our current transportation planning of funding in private and public. Also, improved OUTBoard 335 8 ReturntoAgenda D R A F T engagement of Orangecounty residentsand transportation concerns; how we can improve our advisory service to 336 the BOCC; how we want to be involved in agenda development;what we see asthe optimum role for each member 337 of this Board;and we should look at meeting format including presentation and perception.I want to ask a question 338 and I hope every member of this Board knows the answer to this. What is the largest single transportation 339 organization inthis county;public or private? 340 341 Gary Saunders: Chapel Hill Transit.342 343 Paul Guthrie: Actually it’s the Orange County Schoolsand Chapel Hill Schools.The Orange County schools have 72 344 bus routes, 70 buses plus activity buses operating. Chapel Hill schools have 50 buses, 16 mini-buses, and 19 activity345 buses operating; so we have 120, 16 mini-buses, and probably another 30 activity buses all operating under two 346 different but similar systems. Chapel Hill Transit is the largest public transit organizationbut it doesn’t approach those 347 numbers of vehicles.My whole point is that while we probably spend less time on this issue, I wanted to point out that 348 thereis a number of things on transportation that go beyond what we now think of as transportation systems and at 349 some point I will argue that we ought to at least make a passing comment on is there a way to better coordinate 350 school transportation and public transportation in terms of route structure and things like that as we grow?That’s the 351 key word as we grow. We become less and less rural and more and more urban. Do we need to look at those 352 interfaces?There are a lot of statutory problems of the school bus issue, and the financing issue but that is the kind 353 of issue I would hope at some point in time we pay attention to. Where are we going in five years or ten years? A 354 perfect example to me is the way in which we approach the Triangle Transit government’s transportation systems 355 that they are trying to put in place now. It’s a little piecehere, a little piece there, and division is really about two 356 things. Building a coordinated bus system and building a limited rail system. I would hope thatover the next few 357 months and probably even years, we could tackle some of those things. I will be glad to send everyone what I just 358 said, that’s where I’m coming from so that we can really give good solid long term advice and not just be reactive to 359 the current issue if we just reacted to the current issue we will never build a vision for the future and this County will 360 need it. I have been doing something lately that scares the dickens out of people, take Google Earth,now for those 361 of you who have Google Earth;it will show you the 1993 flyovers and 2014 flyovers in sequence. Take parts of the 362 county and just click up the number of 10 to 14 different views that you can get for those years. See what has 363 happened in 20 years and then think what is goingto happen in the next 20 years. So that my little sermon for the 364 day. 365 366 Alex Castro: The service provided by OPT (they call it Old People Transportation)and Chapel Hill’s Easy Rider the 367 criteria, the determination of who gets the service is different. Individuals that are customers get confused. That 368 should be seamless and it should be one for everyone.369 370 371 AGENDA ITEM VII: UPCOMING AGENDA ITEMS OF INTEREST ON OTHER REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION RELATED 372 BOARD AGENDAS 373 OUTBoard Action:Receive information374 375 Abigaile Pittman: On May 8, the BOCC will review recommended bus expansion services program. In late May and 376 early Junewe have scheduled meetings for public outreach for the recommended bus expansion route, asking for 377 input on recommended specific routes.On June 12, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, there will be a Map 21 Funding 378 Program given by the Town of Carrboro and Carrboro Bicycle Coalition. The next OUTBoard meeting is May 21.379 380 Jeff Charles: I would be interested in meeting with the Orange County Sherriff’s Department to talk about a project I 381 am working on with respect to the bicycle safety rules and the non-cyclist perception of cyclists. 382 383 Matt Day: The main information from TARPOis the project scoring for Strategic Transportation investments. We will 384 have a public hearing in early June to present draft scoring results.385 386 387 AGENDA ITEM VIII: ADJOURNMENT388 389 The meeting was adjourned by consensus.390 391 9 ReturntoAgenda D R A F T 392 __________________________________________ Paul Guthrie, Chair 10 ReturntoAgenda D R A F T SUMMARY NOTES1 ORANGE UNIFIED TRANSPORTATION BOARD2 APRIL 16,20143 4 MEMBERS PRESENT: Paul Guthrie, Chapel Hill TownshipRepresentative;Jeff Charles, Bicycle Advocate5 Representative;Alex Castro, Bingham TownshipRepresentative;Amy Cole, Transit Advocate6 7 MEMBERS ABSENT: Don Wollum, Eno Township Representative; Sam Lasris, Cedar Grove Township Representative; 8 Pedestrian Access & Safety Advocate - Vacant;Cheeks TownshipRepresentative- Vacant;Economic Development 9 Commission - Vacant; Planning Board Representative – Vacant;Ted Triebel, Little River Township Representative; 10 Gary Saunders, CFE Representative; Brantley Wells, Hillsborough Township Representative11 12 STAFF PRESENT:Abigaile Pittman, Transportation/Land UsePlanner;Tina Love, Administrative Assistant II13 14 OTHERS PRESENT:Eileen Apicella,Orange County’s new Mobility Manager15 16 17 AGENDA ITEM I: CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL18 19 Paul Guthrie: There was an article that Wake County will pass the one million population mark this month. That will 20 require us to look ahead to balance costs, revenues, etc. to decide what is best for Orange County. You have heard 21 me talk about the differentplanning groups that have their finger in rural transportation,but we still have the basic 22 fundamental fact that rural Orange County has limited access to rural transportation. If we can afford to build 23 wonderful walking trails on Morgan Creek, why can’t we build safe walkways and bikeways parallel alongside of the 24 54 bypass and look at how we canimprove rural transportation. We need to build a fire under the urbanized planning 25 groups to deal with these issues. 26 27 Abigaile Pittman: In this new landscape of funding with everyone finding their way, most of those projects are not 28 being funded by the state. We applied for Section 5310 funding with DCHCMPO and Orange County’s two projects 29 will probably get scored. Oneis more years of the Mobility Manager, and the other is for an Aging Department 30 contract to provide additional services to seniors.31 32 Paul Guthrie: There are two major rural issues in North Carolina now. One is the hospitalization issue in small 33 countieswhere medical attention is not there. The second is rural transportation.34 35 36 AGENDA ITEM II: APPROVAL OF MINUTES FOR APRIL 26,201437 38 39 AGENDA ITEM III: CONSIDERATIONS OF ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA40 41 42 AGENDA ITEM IV: REGULAR AGENDA43 a.Draft Parks and Recreation Master Plan 2030 – Presentation by Orange County 44 Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks and Recreation (DEAPR) staff. 45 Pursuant to the OUTBoard’s recommendation at its April 2014 meeting regarding 46 emergency access for trail systems.

Attached for informational purposes is related information and a history 53 of prior discussions of bicycle safety as related to the OUTBoard since 2011 54 (Attachment 2, pages 25-50).55 11 ReturntoAgenda D R A F T OUTBoard Action:Review selected standards and recommend to the BOCC that 56 planning staff review/revise and develop amendments.57 58 OUTBoard Action:Receive information and provide input.59 60 RichShaw: My position is Land Conservation Manager. I work with private land owners and other conservation 61 partners to identify important sites worthy of being set aside for a park or nature preserve. I also work with people to 62 conservetheir own private land. DEAPR completedthis Parks and Recreations Master Planin houserather than 63 hiring a contractor.Reviewed PowerPoint presentation.This draft master plan went to the BOCC in June and they 64 asked us to share it with advisory boards, solicit input, and take the plan back to the BOCC this fall.DEAPR was 65 also asked to consider the issue of emergency access to trails in the County parks and nature preserves and has 66 developed some initial goals and objectives to address that issue.67 68 Jeff Charles. I was on the American Tobacco Trail and there was a bad bike accident and we had trouble getting 69 EMS to this person in trouble. 70 71 Alex Castro: It would seem there would be coordination among the various entities. You have facilities and the 72 operations are independent of other. There should be one standard with one protocol.73 74 RichShaw: There is an Intergovernmental Parks Work Group that meets four times of year to discuss these types of 75 issues. I am not sure this issue has been brought up. It is chaired by Alice Gordon.76 77 Alex Castro: I have a copy of the Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation Department Summer Program Guide. Why can’t 78 we have one guide? In the back of that was what was going on in road construction. Why can’t wehave one guide 79 for all ofOrange County? We have too many silos so we need to get together and do it jointly.80 81 Paul Guthrie: I want to congratulate you for doing what you have done in the short amount of time. The real 82 challenge is managing what you have and building a consistent program from the future which will cost money and 83 will be difficult. It is difficult to create new trails because of land owner concerns so I would encourage you to see if 84 the landowners are interest to see if the public is interested. The other issue is that on some of those trails, they 85 might go near settlement centers so you try to have a rest stop area for picnics or water area that becomes a safety 86 item and that builds confidence in trails. That will be viable especially on the Mountains to Sea Trail. I would caution 87 you on going too far on physical facilities because that is a cash eater if you have to do the high financing on it. I 88 think the report you want to study make a lot of sense. One of the problems in your survey is that people responded 89 to things they had done, not what they wanted to do. I certainly would encourage getting closer to the water. 90 91 Abigaile Pittman: I would like to provide DEAPRstaff and a message to the BOCC as to whether or not the 92 OUTBoard supports the overarching goal and objectives about emergency access to trail systems that DEAPRstaff 93 and planning have worked together to develop.94 95 Paul Guthrie: Obviouslythere needs to be a good coordinated emergency plan but I am not convinced thatyou have 96 to make it motor vehicle friendly to do that. On the other hand, you can have smaller vehicles that can run down 97 trails with the ability to haul a stretcher. There is no reason a rescue squad can’t carry a bolt cutter to open a gate for 98 a trail. 99 100 RichShaw: We have a number of trails that have not built yet. Having some objectives that have been drafted at the 101 front end will be helpful.102 103 Jeff Charles: With the new trails, you need to think about traffic control because bicyclist want to go 15 to 20 miles 104 an hour which is totally inconsistent with pedestrians so you have to have some thought about posted speed limits. 105 You need to think about safety issues, certainly when you come to intersections and streets.106 107 Alex Castro: This is already been done at the American Tobacco Trails. Some states actually post speed limits for 108 the bikes.109 110 12 ReturntoAgenda D R A F T Abigaile Pittman: How can you tell how fast you are going?111 112 Jeff Charles: Most serious cyclists have odometers but if you not, you learn pretty quickly. 113 114 Paul Guthrie: The mixed use trails in this country have wide rights-of wayand the track is wide.115 116 Jeff Charles: Mountain biking, etc., if we don’t improve our rural roads, they will look for other options and as you 117 develop these trails, you will see them go where you did not expect them to.118 119 Abigaile Pittman: Other than thesecomments, I would like the Board to consider supporting the goal and objectives 120 developed by DEAPR staff. 121 122 Paul Guthrie: This recommendation is pretty good. The comments on emergency needs to be better defined. It is 123 not just what the Parks department can do but what the potential responders may need to modify with how they 124 respond and what kind of equipment but both sides need to inform the others.125 126 RichShaw: The Emergency Responsestaff hasnot reviewed this draft yet. If you think of anything or have any 127 questions, let me know.128 129 130 Jeff Charles: In your packet, there is an N&O news article about the June 25th alleged road incident in the court 131 system where a gentleman has been cited for misdemeanor assault with a deadly weapon associated with this 132 alleged road rage incident. I ride 5,000 plus miles per year and the vast majority is in Orange County and I have 133 been seeing an increase in friction between motorists and cyclist which is why we came up with the road safety 134 guidelines which will support now. I ride with about 100 people a year and of those 100, three of those have been hit 135 by a car or had car interactions in the last two months. In this case, it was road rage involved. Presented videos of 136 ride. You can make a legal pass if you have 500 foot visible with a double lane.If there are 20 plus cyclist riding in 137 the same lane, it is frustrating for motorists. How do you convince cyclists to break into smallergroups? This is part 138 of an education process. The League of American Bicyclists listed the top ten states, each one has the following 139 statement in their vehicular law, and bicyclistscannot ride more than two abreast and cannot impede traffic. North 140 Carolina is ranked 23rd because we don’t have very good bicyclist rules. There are two groups of Orange County 141 trying to work on this problem. There is a motorist group working on this alsoand I am sitting on that group. 142 Commissioner Price has agreed to head a working group to get law enforcement involved. Gail Alberti is the 143 motorist’s representative in our group. We do not want to get legislature involved in this. We also need to be 144 concerned about mopeds and the elf vehicle.145 146 Alex Castro:As the population increases, more and more people will want to get out. I would recommend you make 147 contact with the Grange in Schley. 148 149 Jeff Charles: Bonner Hauser is heading up the motorist group and Renee and I are heading up the cyclists.150 151 Paul Guthrie: It has been my observation of the last 10 years, how much cruder the driving is.152 153 Jeff Charles: This is also an enforcement issue. The law is that you have to stop if anyone is walking across the 154 cross walk. We don’t want to get legislature involved. 155 156 Alex Castro: We need to raise awareness and have a good publicity campaign. What is the law? Having a public 157 awareness campaign to highlight these points tonight would be very helpful.158 159 Jeff Charles: Enforcement and education are the way I go. We are bringing ideas from Europe for education. I hope 160 these videos have a role in enforcement for laws.161 162 Alex Castro: What about getting the bicycle shops to help get some of those videos on the air.163 164 Jeff Charles: I want to make sure law enforcement can use the videos.165 13 ReturntoAgenda D R A F T 166 Paul Guthrie: Theyare good evidentiary issues and they are alsogood instructive tools. I am not sure they can be 167 used.168 169 AGENDA ITEM V: STAFF UPDATES170 a.Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Action Plan171 b.Protection options for Old NC 10 corridor172 c.Review ofselected private road and access standards173 d.Review of selected private road and access standards174 e.Buckhorn EDD environmental and transportation contracts175 f.OUTBoard vacancies176 OUTBoard Action: Receive updates177 178 179 Abigaile Pittman: We are moving forward to get the SRTS Advisory Committee rolling. There is a mission statement, 180 core responsibilities and the concept about the membership. We will meet quarterly or more frequently if required. I 181 need two OUTBoard members, please email if you are interested. The original steering committee representative will182 probably be Nancy Cole Baker.There will be a representative from the health department.183 184 Abigaile Pittman: I have been reviewing various protection options for the Old NC 10 corridor. I have a list attached 185 of the options and also a map. When reviewingprotection options for Old NC 10, I considered that the corridor starts 186 back at Hwy 86. This project will come out in fall and I will go back to the BOCC with my analysis. I have narrow in 187 onthree options that stand out.188 189 Jeff Charles: It is a very popular bicycle route. It is important to cite commuting. 190 191 Abigaile Pittman: When I get comments and instructionsback from the BOCC, I will be back to you.192 193 Abigaile Pittman: I willgoing to the Planning Board on September 3to have them review the matter of private road 194 and access standards. We have met with DEAPR staff and obtained their comments on emergency access for trail 195 systems in county parks.We will return to the BOCC in the fall to get comments and instructions fromthem. 196 197 Abigaile Pittman: We have hired an environmental firm and a different transportationfirm to complete contractual 198 workin the Buckhorn EDD area. We realized that some of the development efforts beginning to take place in the 199 EDD were revealing the need to revise the access management plan adoptedin 2011. Before competing these 200 revisions we decided it was advisable to gain additional information with regard to environmental issues in the area, 201 and that we need to know more about the recommended functional classification of those future roads in the EDD. 202 203 Abigaile Pittman: You have the OUTBoard roster before you. Weneed to be aggressive about filling these positions.204 Please let me know if you know of any interested and qualified person that would be willing to serve on the 205 OUTBoard. 206 207 Paul Guthrie: Craig will speak to the Rotary Club that I am the president of and he may want to mention the need 208 there. 209 210 Alex Castro: The Department on Aging, Engage, which are community spark plugs - I can try to get some of those.211 212 Jeff Charles: I would suggest someone from Orange County who uses the Orange County roadsto replace my 213 position, but Iwill stay on until someone is appointed. 214 215 Abigaile Pittman: There is a handout called Transportation Advisory Board attached. The NCDepartment of 216 Transportation has given me this criterion. In order for us to receive Federal Section 5311 funding for our transit 217 system, we have to recreate the Transit Advisory Board. I will be working with Peter Murphy, who is the new 218 Transportation Managerwith OPT. This board will also need BOCC approval. I see this as a sort of subcommittee of 219 the OUTBoard. We have to meet, at least quarterly, probably before the OUTBoard meeting.220 14 ReturntoAgenda D R A F T 221 Abigaile Pittman: On yesterday’sBurlington Graham MPO TCC the agenda there was a proposal to use Section 222 5307 monies to buy buses and startup capital for the proposed Burlington bus system. There was a motion223 appointing themselves as a designated recipient and you can’t do that because it can only be a direct recipient, per 224 federal statute. They wanted the TCC and TAC to approve a resolution that they can be the designated recipient so 225 they would be the lead decision maker regarding the distribution of funding. However, under the federal law, they 226 can only be a direct recipient, meaning they can receive the funds from the designated person, which would be either 227 NCDOT or PART. They also requested all ofthe federal allocation for this region for the next several years because 228 they needit for theirbus system in Burlington. We acknowledged and accepted their first year needs and stressed 229 thatthey could only be a direct recipient. They agreed. We compromised in their first year of capital and operations 230 expenses and then everything after that, werequested that there bea collaborative decisionmaking process with all 231 the other interested parties, meaning the other service providers.232 233 Paul Guthrie: There has been a big story about Triangle Transit’s rate increases. Is there advanced discussions 234 about it with the people in this county?235 236 Abigaile Pittman: No to my knowledge.237 238 Paul Guthrie: It would not hurt to mention that when you start juggling Triangle Transit fares, you should contact all 239 jurisdictions. 240 241 242 AGENDA ITEM VI: BOARD COMMENTS243 OUTBoard Action:Receive comments.244 245 246 AGENDA ITEM VII: UPCOMING AGENDA ITEMS OF INTEREST ON OTHER REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION RELATED 247 BOARD AGENDAS 248 OUTBoard Action:Receive information249 250 251 AGENDA ITEM VIII: ADJOURNMENT252 253 The meeting was adjourned by consensus.254 15 ReturntoAgenda D R A F T SUMMARY NOTES1 2 ORANGE UNIFIED TRANSPORTATION BOARD3 OCTOBER 15,20144 5 6 MEMBERS PRESENT: Paul Guthrie, Chapel Hill TownshipRepresentative;Brantley Wells, Hillsborough Township 7 Representative;Alex Castro, Bingham TownshipRepresentative;Amy Cole, Transit Advocate8 9 10 MEMBERS ABSENT: Don Wollum, Eno Township Representative; Jeff Charles, Bicycle Advocate Representative;11 Ted Triebel, Little River Township Representative; Gary Saunders, CFE Representative;Cedar Grove Township 12 Representative - Vacant;Pedestrian Access & Safety Advocate - Vacant;Cheeks TownshipRepresentative- 13 Vacant;Economic Development Commission - Vacant; Planning Board Representative – Vacant; 14 15 16 STAFF PRESENT:Abigaile Pittman, Transportation/Land UsePlanner;Bret Martin, Transportation Planner; Peter 17 Murphy, Orange Public Transportation Manager; Eileen Apicella; Mobility Manager; Tina Love, Administrative 18 Assistant II19 20 21 OTHERS PRESENT:Heidi Perry22 23 24 AGENDA ITEM I: CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL25 26 27 AGENDA ITEM II: APPROVAL OF MINUTES FOR AUGUST 20,201428 29 Minutes were not approved due to a lack of quorum.30 31 32 AGENDA ITEM III: CONSIDERATIONS OF ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA33 34 Paul Guthrie referred to a diagram he drew on the whiteboard for discussion during comments.35 36 37 AGENDA ITEM IV: REGULAR AGENDA38 a.Recommended Hillsborough Circulator Changes – Staff is considering changes 39 to the Hillsborough Circulator to correct some deficiencies that we are currently 40 manifesting with the operation of the service and to provide service to new 41 locations in and around Hillsborough.42 Presenter: Bret Martin43 OUTBoard Action:Receive information and provide comments. 44 45 Bret Martin reviewed the material and information regarding the changes considered for the Hillsborough 46 Circulator.47 48 OUTBoard members discussed item with staff.49 50 OUTBoard members will submit comments at the next OUTBoard meeting.51 52 53 16 ReturntoAgenda D R A F T AGENDA ITEM V: STAFF UPDATES54 a.Central and Rural Orange County Five-Year Bus Service Expansion Concept - 55 OPT56 b.Transportation project prioritization statue57 c.DCHC MPO and TARPO RPO activities58 d.Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Action Plan Advisory Committee59 e.Mountains-To-Sea Trail Conference Sept. 4-5, 201460 f.OUTBoard vacancies61 OUTBoard Action: Receive updates62 63 Abigaile Pittman and Bret Martin updated the OUTBoard on current transportation projects and activities.64 65 Tina Love updated the OUTBoard on the current combined efforts to attract new applicants for the OUTBoard.66 67 68 AGENDA ITEM VI: BOARD COMMENTS69 OUTBoard Action:Receive comments.70 71 Paul Guthrie spoke to the OUTBoard regarding his suggestions for light rail between Chapel Hill and Durham.72 73 74 AGENDA ITEM VII: UPCOMING FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS75 OUTBoard Action:Receive information76 77 Abigaile Pittman informed the OUTBoard of the next meeting and future items including the election of officers at 78 the November OUTBoard meeting.79 80 81 AGENDA ITEM VIII: ADJOURNMENT82 83 The meeting was adjourned.84 17 ReturntoAgenda 18 ReturntoAgenda ORANGE COUNTY ORANGE UNIFIED TRANSPORTATION BOARD (OUTBoard) ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date:October 15,2014 Action Agenda Item No.4 SUBJECT:Review of Recommended Changes to the Hillsborough Circulator DEPARTMENT:Planning and Inspections PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N)N ATTACHMENT(S): 1.Existing Hillsborough Circulator Route 2.Proposed Hillsborough Circulator Route 3.Hillsborough Circulator Service Change Summary INFORMATION CONTACT: Bret Martin, TransportationPlanner, 245-2582 Abigaile Pittman, Transportation/Land Use Planner, 245-2567 Tom Altieri, Comprehensive Planning Supervisor, 245-2579 PURPOSE:To review recommended changes to the Hillsborough Circulator to correct some deficiencies that are currently manifesting with the operation of the service and to provide service to new locations in and around Hillsborough. BACKGROUND: Planning staff, including the Orange Public Transportation (OPT) Manager, is considering minorchanges to the Hillsborough Circulator to correct some deficiencies that are currently manifesting with the operation of the service and to provide service to new locations in and around Hillsborough.The recommended changes have been reviewed and are supported by the Hillsborough Planning Director and Town Board members. Problem:The existing Hillsborough Circulatorroute (Attachment 1) with its current schedule and stops manifests with a number of problems. These include but are not limited to: 1)Inefficiently tracing along the same corridor multiple times; 2)Traversing streets and making turns that prohibit speedy service times; 3)Serving stops that provide very low ridership but not serving locations with the potential for higher ridership (e.g., Lakeshore Drive, U.S. 70 Food Lion); 4)Serving locations with either very minimal or nonexistent access to transit, such as those lacking pedestrian facilities and those with limited neighborhood connectivity; 5)The route rarely, if ever, is on time because the route and associated stops are too burdensometo service in one hour under normal daytime traffic conditions along its existing alignment; 6)A survey of Eno Haven residents indicated a need for more grocery options along the route; and 7)Operators currently have no layover time to preparefor the next scheduled Circulator run. The Hillsborough Circulator will soon additionally need to service the UNC Hospital – Hillsborough campus when it is open to the public. 19 ReturntoAgenda Staff-RecommendedChanges: Theattached map (Attachment 2) depictsthe staff-recommendedroute changes and ordering of stops. These changes to the Hillsborough Circulator will free up time currently consumed along the route involving service provided to low productivity stops while still providing reasonable access options for those stops that are being eliminated. The recommendedroute is more time-efficient yet will cover more geography than the existing route and offer transit access options at more locations. A summary of the recommended changes tothe Hillsborough Circulatorroute is provided in Attachment 3.In Table I: Existing Hillsborough Circulator Stop Order and Times, the stops that are recommendedfor elimination are highlighted in yellow. These four (4) stops were all well below the average calendar year 2013 ridership per stop of 643 boardings. The stops recommendedto replace these stops will still provide reasonable access within walking distance of the stops that are recommendedto be removed but will allow the operator to manage access to those locations more efficiently and save time. The recommendedroute additionally does not traverse the same corridor along Churton Street three (3) times as does the existing service design, which will free up additional time to provide service to the additionalrecommended stops. The recommendedroute will provide access to the UNC Hospital – Hillsborough campus after stopping at Durham Tech and will more efficiently make use of NC 86 to access Hampton Pointe (Walmart/HomeDepot) rather than using Churton Street and U.S.70Business, both highly congested corridors during daytime hours. The recommendedroute will serve a new stop at a residential area off U.S. 70 and will serve the newer Food Lion located on U.S. 70 before traveling back to the North Hills Shopping Center to make the next run. Table II: Proposed Hillsborough Circulator Stop Order and Times provides the recommendednew order of stops and the new stop locations (highlighted in green). NEXT STEPS: Following the OUTBoard’s review of these recommended changes, the changes will be considered by the BOCC. If approved by the BOCC, the changes will be advertised on the County’s OPT webpage and on board OPT’s busesvia the distribution of amended schedulesand service maps. Existing Hillsborough Circulator schedule and stop information will be replaced with the new schedule and map of stop locations to inform the public of the new changes.OPT will allow a period of two (2) months between when service changes are approvedand when they are implemented to allow the public to adapt to the changes. RECOMMENDATIONS:The Staffrecommends the OUTBoard: 1.Review the recommended changes to the Hillsborough Circulator route; and 2.Recommend approval of the staff-recommended changesto the BOCC, to include any additional comments the OUTBoard might have. 20 ReturntoAgenda Town of hillsborough and orange county Save SomeCash … Take the Bus!
