Title
Request for DCHC MPO Support for Town of Carrboro NCDOT Bicycle Planning Grant Application (5 minutes)
Tina Moon, Town of Carrboro
Narrative
The Town of Carrboro is preparing to submit an application to the NCDOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Division and the Transportation Planning Branch 2018 planning grant cycle. The Town of Carrboro received a grant in 2007 and applied the funding (approximately $45,000) toward the development of the Town’s Comprehensive Bicycle Transportation Plan, which was subsequently adopted in March 2009. An update of the bike plan aligns well with the Town’s interest in seeking gold status from the League of American Bicyclists' Bicycle Friendly Communities Program during the upcoming round of consideration. A resolution of support from the MPO is a requirement of the grant application. A resolution to that effect is attached.

TC Action: Recommended approval of the resolution in support of the Town of Carrboro's grant application to update its Comprehensive Bicycle Transportation Plan.
Board Action
Baord Action: Adopt the resolution in support of the Town of Carrboro's grant application to update its Comprehensieve Bicycle Transportation Plan.
