Narrative
On April 28, 2017, the DCHC MPO Board adopted the updated Orange County Transit Plan and the Durham County Transit Plan (the “Transit Plans”). GoTriangle is presenting its quarterly report on progress under the Transit Plans, including implementation of services and capital projects identified in the Transit Plans, and the status of the Durham-Orange Light Rail Transit (D-O LRT) Project.
In addition, at the November DCHC MPO Board meeting, a member of the Board requested that staff provide an overview of the pedestrian and bicycle studies that are taking place as part of the design of the D-O LRT Project. GoTriangle has been studying pedestrian and bicycle facilities at select locations along the D-O LRT Project corridor and around stations as part of ongoing engineering work. The facilities under study have come out of ongoing coordination with third-party stakeholders.
The pedestrian and bicycle studies are continuing as part of overall engineering design advancement. GoTriangle will describe a few examples of these ongoing studies and share how these projects can provide residents with multimodal accessibility to the light-rail project.
