FEASIBILITY STUDY - NC 54 WIDENING <br /> The proposed widening of NC 54 would be from I-85/40 in <br /> Burlington to the NC 54 Bypass in Chapel Hill. The widening project as <br /> it extends through Orange County would include widening NC 54 to four <br /> lanes -- two twelve foot lanes going both east and west. The right-of- <br /> way would be increased from 120 feet to 200 feet in width. The project <br /> is included in the 1990-96 Transportation improvement for feasibility <br /> study but is not currently funded. The Planning Department staff listed <br /> in the agenda abstract some potential problems that need to be further <br /> studied by NCDOT. The Planning Board also made comments which are <br /> included in the agenda abstract.

Transportation officials will <br /> be requested to explain what they intend to do in this project. <br /> F.
