2. Item #6 on 2003 ISAB Goals.  Board members discussed additional ways to obtain citizen feedback on the Town’s information dissemination efforts.  Board members suggested a Web-based poll for the years in which the biennial survey is not conducted and inquired about the feasibility/possibility of Town staff to provide feedback on the 24-Hour Town Hall System.

Member Comments:
Ms. Fitzpatrick noted that she couldn’t locate the number for C-Tran in the phonebook.  She suggested the number be added.  

Ms. Thompson noted that a citizen complained about signage information with regard to street signs and numbering.  

Mr. Fitzpatrick noted that on Interstate 40 East, coming from the airport, that was no clear signage for Cary , only for Raleigh .  He noted that he’d seen several cars maneuver hazardously to change exits at the last minute.  Mr. Murray noted that there was a similar situation in Apex from Highway 64. 

Mr. Murray noted that the intersection signage at Waldo Rood and several other intersections was confusing and difficult to read as well.
