MEMORANDUM

 

 

TO:

Mayor and Town Council

 

 

FROM:

Tab Combs, Chair

 

Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board

 

 

SUBJECT:

Bicycle Commuter Access to Research Triangle Park

 

 

DATE:

October 27, 2006

 

On October 24, 2006 the Board discussed the Mayor’s petition to explore the possibility of a bicycle commuter route from Chapel Hill to the Research Triangle Park.

 

The Board advises that it has been invited to a joint meeting – with the Durham Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission http://www.bikewalkdurham.org   and the Capital Area Bicycle and Pedestrian Stakeholders Group http://www.campo-nc.us/BPSG/BPSG_Home.htm  . The meeting date has to be scheduled however, the Board plans to request the idea an agenda item.

 

The Board also suggests that because a route would be located beyond the jurisdiction of the Town of Chapel Hill that the idea be referred to the planning staff of the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization.
