54 AGENDA ITEM 6.A.: MPO/RPO AND NCDOT UPDATES
55
56 Nish Trivedi gave status updates on transportation projects in Orange County
57
58 Members related concerns in areas in regard to speed.
59
60 Tom Altieri related that there is a list of areas for safety concerns and these concerns can be added to the list.
61
62 Amy Cole noted that Chuck Edwards used to come to update the OUTBoard annually and inquired about the progress of the
63 pedestrian count on Orange Grove at New Grady Brown School Road.
64
65 Tom Altieri reported that the ped count report from NCDOT was recently received but is not aware if it has been shared with the
66 schools yet. That was completed and will share that with the OUTBoard. He noted that NCDOT was surprised by the numbers
67 and elaborated that some of the foot traffic is actually some of the people who are walking away from the school and getting into
68 cars to drive offsite.
69
70 Amy Cole noted that there is only a flashing light on one side of the road and suggested that a light should also be on the Oakdale
71 side. She added that the pedestrian bridge which has been asked for going back many years is the ideal solution but if that is not
72 ever going to be done that traffic calming measures should be implemented to possibly include adding a light to the Oakdale side
73 and only allowing traffic to flow in one direction at a time across the bridge. That way the pedestrians would have almost a full
74 lane to walk on during school hours only.
75
76 Randy Marshall asked about the progress of the proposal to create a pick-up/drop-off lane for parents for the elementary school.
77
78 Tom Altieri noted that the Municipal School Transportation Assistance Program (MSTA)pedestrian component was received and
79 there is an extensive list of recommendations from DOT on both the New Brady Brown School campus and Cedar Ridge. He
80 related that it has been delivered to Orange County Schools and they are the client for that study and it's a matter of funding and
81 DOT has mentioned looking for funding sources to implement that.
