DCHC MPO Seeks Comment on Long-Range Transportation Plan Amendment
Feedback Requested by May 25

DURHAM, N.C. - If you're interested in future highway, bicycle, multi-use paths, and transit projects for our region, you're invited to give your feedback now on a proposed amendment to the region's long-range transportation plan.

The Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO) is now seeking public feedback on proposed Amendment #3 to the Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP). The CTP identifies future highway, transit, rail, bicycle, pedestrian, and other transportation projects for this region over the next 30 years and beyond.

The DCHC MPO is amending the CTP to add a network of bicycle/pedestrian paths along major roadways; identify high-capacity transit, such as bus rapid transit, along the region's major travel corridors; ensure the CTP supports local bicycle plans; and improve roadways in fast developing, rural areas.

Residents and other stakeholders are asked to provide comments by reviewing the proposed Amendment #3 at the DCHC MPO website<http://www.dchcmpo.org/programs/ctp/default.asp#tabs4> and providing comments directly by email<mailto:andrew.henry at durhamnc.gov> no later than Tuesday, May 25. Residents and stakeholders may also directly address the DCHC MPO Board on proposed Amendment #3 on Wednesday, May 12 beginning at 9 a.m. during their virtual board meeting<http://www.dchcmpo.org/>.

For more information about the CTP Amendment #3, contact DCHC MPO Principal Planner Andy Henry at (919) 560-4366, ext. 36419 or by email.<mailto:andrew.henry at durhamnc.gov>
