Title
D-O LRT Project Request for Design Change Input (10 minutes)
Geoff Green, GoTriangle
Narrative
GoTriangle requests that the Board provide comment regarding two proposed design changes to the Durham-Orange Light Rail Transit (D-O LRT) Project. One proposed design change is modification of the Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway Station park-and-ride. The second modification is a change of the Erwin Road alignment. The Erwin Road alignment modification includes a shift in the site of the Duke/VA Medical Centers Station. The station is currently proposed between Trent Drive and Flowers Drive, and under the modification it would be situated just west of Fulton Drive, in front of the Duke Eye Center and Durham VA Medical Center.
Under the Design Change Approval Policy for the D-O LRT Project, adopted by the GoTriangle Board on July 26, 2017, and because of the scope of the proposed Erwin Road alignment modifications, these changes require approval by the GoTriangle Board of Trustees with review and input from the MPO Board.
Memos and maps explaining the proposed changes are attached.
