10 <br /> Hollow Rock Access Area Master Plan September 2009 <br /> The initial survey, completed in 2007, confirmed that the area where Erwin Road <br /> crosses New Hope Creek has a long-standing tradition, rich in prehistory and history <br /> for indigenous and Euro-American settlement. Additional survey in 2008 identified <br /> areas of the park that should be restricted from development and/or protected during <br /> facility construction. Information from these surveys was conveyed to the Hollow <br /> Rock master plan committee and incorporated into the master plan. <br /> M � <br /> Y <br /> i <br /> � F <br /> II <br /> Yi. <br /> a <br /> - <br /> Committee members participating in charrette design workshop <br /> Access and Transportation Issues <br /> The site is highly accessible to residents of southwest Durham and from Chapel Hill <br /> via Erwin Road, Pickett Road, and other links to US 15-501. Direct access to the <br /> property could be from Erwin Road or from Pickett Road, which bisects the site. <br /> Having portions of the park on both sides of Pickett Road not only presents more <br /> complexity for locating entrances and parking, it also creates public safety issues. The <br /> 1991 New Hope Corridor Open Space Master Plan envisioned a small parking area for <br /> this site on the west side of Pickett Road. That master plan did not, however, <br /> anticipate there being parkland on both sides of Pickett Road_ <br /> 7 <br />
