Twin Creeks East-West Connector Road: Providing access to Twin Creeks Park and adjoining property, this <br /> road would extend from Old NC 86 north of Carrboro, NC westward to the intersection with Lake Hogan Farm <br /> Road and increase connectivity and ingress/egress options for the area. The cost is $890,000. <br /> Highways Projects: Proposed NC DOT projects are provided for your review. The County is not responsible <br /> for highways; however, the following DOT projects are proposed for Orange County within the NC DOT stimulus <br /> package: <br /> Orange County Chapel Hill-Carrboro Computerize Signal System $5,000,000 <br /> Orange County 1-40-85 to Durham County line Grind and reseal joints $1,500,000 <br /> Orange County NC 54 Alamance Co line to SR 1107 Pavement Strengthen $1,500,000 <br /> Orange/Alamance Buckhorn Rd to 1-40/85 split Mill and resurface $15,000,000 <br /> Orange County _ NC 86 to Person Co. line Rehab Intersection,turn lane/signal $3,000,000 <br /> Broadband: Broadband coverage is limited in rural areas of Orange County due to a lack of cabled <br /> TV/Broadband service and limited telecommunication tower wireless access. The County owns property <br /> throughout rural areas and would consider installing towers for public safety, public service delivery and private <br /> sector use to promote rural economic development and home-based businesses to reduce transportation and <br /> pollution costs. The costs of the project would be approximately$1.2 million and because monopoles are pre- <br /> engineered, their deployment after zoning processing would be expeditious. <br /> e2 <br />
