[Durham INC] Rail plans

[Pat Carstensen]

An item of discussion at last night's INC program was the important decisions that will be made about rail corridors, stations and maintenance facilities in the next 6 months.  You can do the "fly-through" of the various decisions at the top item on http://ourtransitfuture.com/library/gallery/.  If you have opinions on where various things should go, put them in writing here: http://ourtransitfuture.com/wp-content/themes/Metabolic-WP/OTF%20form.htm
















The Durham-Orange Light Rail Transit Project is now in the “project
development” phase, which will last 24 months and involves a lot of
environmental review (impacts on people, natural resources, historical
resources, etc.).  We did a
“fly-through” of the 17 stations on 17 miles of the proposed route
alternatives.  Once the planning
phase is done, we apply for federal funds to cover ½ of $1.2B (2012 dollars) it
will cost to build the system, keeping on the plan to be operating by about
2025/2026.  More information:  http://ourtransitfuture.com
