“This is an opportunity for GoTriangle to present our latest information on the project,” said General Manager David King. “We look forward fielding questions and hearing the thoughts and opinions of the citizens of Durham and Orange counties.” The information at the sessions will include rail in both counties and changes proposed in the downtown Durham alignment.
The Draft Environmental Impact Statement is expected to be released for public comment this fall.
The proposed Durham-Orange Light Rail Project is a 17.1 mile light rail transit line which extends from UNC (UNC Hospitals Station) to downtown Durham. The D-O LRT alignment connects a range of educational, medical, employment, and other important activity centers, park-and-ride lots, transfer centers, the Durham Amtrak Station, and Durham Station.
