Discussion was held regarding station locations and the importance of those locations to the <br />planning process. The following points of analysis are used to determine station locations: <br /> <br />1 -- Impact on travel time <br />2 -- The potential direct impaci on freight traffic of BNSF <br />3 -- Local Planning Activities <br /> <br />At this time, the committee needs to identify station locations and then take those suggestions to <br />local units of government to see if those identified stations will work out. It should be noted that <br />none of the station locations decided on by the committees are cast in stone. It could be that <br />stations may need to be removed, or possibly even added, within a mile or two of where one has <br />been identified. Individual areas/units of government will decide exact stop location. Target is <br />to have results of the analysis by the end of the year. <br /> <br />The potential station locations as identified by the Local Use Forum were presented by <br />BRW. <br /> <br />Discussion was held regarding whether the committee would be voting on general proximity of <br />the stop or if the location given was relative to particular locations. BRW stated that the <br />recommended locations were the best consensus on where stations ought to be for analysis. Then <br />local units of government will decide on preferred location and recommend back to NCDA. <br /> <br />The Chair called a recess at 5:34 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 5:42 p.m. <br /> <br />5.
