Attachment 1 4 <br />transportation, particularly for independent bicycle projects and improvements that make <br />bicycling safer on County roads. <br />2. Orange County requests that the NCDOT Division of Bicycle and Pedestrian <br />Transportation consider funding an independent bicycle project to construct 4-ft. paved <br />shoulders along Dairyland Road to accommodate bicycle traffic from Union Grove Church <br />Road (SR 1111) to Orange Grove Road (SR 1006). This area experiences high levels of <br />bicycle traffic from Carrboro and Chapel Hill to rural routes. This route is a portion of the <br />number 3 priority listed in Orange County's Priority List for the 2009-2015 TIP for projects <br />outside the MAB. The entire project would connect the urbanized areas of Carrboro and <br />Chapel Hill to Efland and Mebane via Dairyland Road, Orange Grove Road, and <br />Buckhorn Road. The portion from Union Grove Church Road to Orange Grove Road is <br />part of a loop that, along with Old NC 86, has been designated as a North Carolina Scenic <br />Corridor. NCDOT, through the Moving Ahead Program and the Resurfacing Program has <br />included provisions for 2-ft. paved shoulders on Orange Grove Road that will improve <br />conditions for bicyclists on that road.
