Old Chapel Hill -Hillsborough Road (SR 1009) <br />At the May 6, 1998 BOCC meeting residents that live along the segment <br />of Old Chapel Hill -Hillsborough Road from Hillsborough to New Hope <br />Church Road presented a petition to the Board to change the name of <br />the road to Old Hwy 86. Their reasons for the request are as follows: in <br />an address, the road name has too many characters to be held by many <br />modern computers; attempts to abbreviate the address are not standard <br />and cause mail to be lost; there is extreme difficulty in giving the <br />address verbally over the phone to companies which need to send <br />information• and it is logical that the entire road have the same name <br />from the Carrboro ETJ to the Hillsborough ETJ. In this regard, staff <br />recommends that the name be Old N.C. 86 instead of Old Hwy. 86. <br />
