INFORMATION: During the past couple of years the Board of Aldermen has received information relating to proposed improvements at the five-way intersection at East Main Street/Brewer Lane/Merritt Mill/Franklin Street on a number of occasions, most recently on September 4, 2018. (Meeting materials may be found at the following link <https://carrboro.legistar.com/MeetingDetail.aspx?ID=621462&GUID=3575BCA6-B71F-42A8-9690-913428DDB5ED&Options=&Search>=.) The focus of the improvements has changed from a highway project to a bike-ped project, and minor refinements have been identified and addressed to respond to comments from Carrboro and Chapel Hill. NCDOT will manage and fund the project; no local match will be required.
A representative from NCDOT will make the presentation outlining the elements of the project along with the anticipated timeline for moving forward.
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: There are no fiscal impacts associated with receiving the presentation.
RECOMMENDATION:r Staff recommends that the Board receive the presentation.
