Schedule of Construction for 4` Paved Shoulders on all Orange County Primary Priority Bicycle <br />Transportation Routes (no estimate was included for widening to 12' for those roads that need it). <br />Dale <br />Name <br />Location <br />Length <br />Estimated <br />In miles <br />Cost <br />by 2000 <br />Change local, <br />Orange County <br />? <br />regional, and state <br />laws, plans, <br />programs, and <br />policies <br />by 2005 <br />Primary Rte 1 and <br />NC 86 from Chapel Hill to <br />13.1 <br />$1,310,000 <br />1/2 of Primary Rte 2 <br />Hillsborough, and Old NC 10 from <br />Hillsborough to Durham <br />by 2010 <br />Remainder of <br />West 10 from Hillsborough to <br />6.6 <br />$660,000 <br />Primary Rte 2 <br />Mebane <br />by 2015 <br />NC Rte 2, Primary <br />Old Greensboro Road from Chapel <br />8.9 <br />$890,000 <br />Rte 3 <br />Hill to Alamance County <br />by 2020 <br />Primary Rtes 4, 5, <br />Erwin Road, Whitfield Road, and <br />10.2 <br />$1,020,000 <br />and 6 <br />Old NC 86 <br />by 2025 <br />Primary Rtes 7 and 8 <br />Jones Ferry Road and Mt.

Improvements to the Orange County Secondary Priority Routes should be made using Operations, <br />Safety and Maintenance funds. <br />2. Unit cost estimation factor is $100,000 per mile to include right -of -way acquisition and construction of <br />4' paved shoulders on both sides of rural highways. There was no adjustment for inflation from 1993 <br />dollars to 1998 dollars. Source: Florida Department of Transportation, 1993. <br />3. Total approximate Transportation Facilities Funding for Orange County from 1998 to 2004 = <br />$150,250,000. Source: NC DOT's 1998 to 2004 State Transportation Improvement Program. <br />In other words, the 1.31 million dollars required to construct bicycling facilities for Orange County by <br />the year 2005 is less than 1 %o of the total amount of funds allocated to Orange County for the <br />construction of transportation facilities from 1998 to 2004. <br />4. This table is only for illustrative purposes only. Better cost estimates can be developed by NC DOT <br />staff using more up to date unit cost estimate factors for 4' paved shoulders and also by providing unit <br />cost estimates for constructing additional lane width on existing roads. <br />15 <br />
