Title
Triangle Regional Freight Plan (10 minutes)
Andy Henry, LPA Staff
Narrative
The MPO Board released the Triangle Regional Freight Plan for a minimum 30-day public comment period in September and conducted a public hearing in October. Staff received comments from the City of Durham and will develop a response to those comments for the November MPO Board meeting. Those comments are attached.
Approval of the Freight Plan means that the MPO will consider including the Plan's recommendations in the MPO's long-range transportation plans and policies as they are updated. In addition, local governments might want to consider some of the recommendations for their plans, programs and policies.
The executive summary, full report and appendices of the Triangle Regional Freight Plan and an interactive map of the Strategic Freight Corridor (SFC) are available at this MPO Web page: www.bit.ly/DCHC-FreightPlan. The remaining review schedule is as follows:
* 10/15 -- Public comment period ends
* 11/14 -- Board approves Freight Plan
Recommendation
TC Action: Provide final comments on the Triangle Regional Freight Plan and recommend that the MPO Board approve the Plan.
