Attachment 3 14 <br />2. EB-5108, Dairyland Road (SR 1112) Union Chapel Grove Road (SR 1111) to <br />Orange Grove Road (SR 1006) add wide paved shoulders <br />The OUTBoard requests NCDOT to proceed without delay with the feasibility study <br />scheduled in the 2009-2011 TIP. This area experiences high levels of bicycle traffic <br />from Carrboro and Chapel Hill to rural routes. This route is a portion of the number <br />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 <br />and 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 <br />Road is part of a loop that, along with Old NC 86, has been designated as a North <br />Carolina Scenic Corridor. NCDOT, through the Moving Ahead Program and the <br />Resurfacing Program has provided 2-ft. paved shoulders on Orange Grove Road, <br />improving conditions for cyclists from Old NC 86 to Dairyland Road to NC 54. <br />Orange County requested this project as a rural project, as most of the route was <br />outside The DCHC MPO planning area. Recently the state approved an expansion <br />of the Metropolitan Area Boundary, which now includes most of this route. <br />3. B-5348, Old Greensboro Road (SR 1005) replace bridge number 85 over Phil's <br />Creek: The OUTBoard recommends accelerating this project. The Draft STIP <br />proposes replacement of this bridge in 2019. NCDOT has programmed this portion <br />of Old Greensboro Road to be resurfaced in 2011 and Orange County has <br />requested 2' paved shoulders be included in the repaving project. The bridge will <br />not handle being repaved and has been patched repeatedly to repair recurring <br />potholes. Old Greensboro Road is identified in the Orange County Bicycle Plan <br />and the DCHC Long Range Transportation Plan as a priority bicycle route, and is <br />part of the NCDOT Mountains to Sea Bicycle Route (Route 2). <br />4. Project I-0305, widen I-85 to six lanes and reconstruct interchanges and structures• <br />The OUTBoard requests that NCDOT consider comments submitted for previous <br />TIP updates by Orange County regarding the I-85 widening project. The OUTBoard <br />rerquests the following based on previous County comments: <br />• Provide, in consultation with county staff, sidewalks and bike lanes along <br />roads where interchange improvements are required, and to include <br />adequate guardrails on overpasses; <br />• Provide 12' wide travel lanes and 4' wide paved shoulders for a total <br />paved width of 32' for any roads that may be relocated as part of the <br />project (NCDOT Division of Highways Planning and Environmental <br />Branch has previously indicated that Herman Church Road, SR 1713, <br />and Old NC 10, SR 1710, may be relocated as part of I-305); <br />• Widen the overpass on NC 86 to accommodate increased traffic <br />volumes resulting from recent development in the adjacent Economic <br />Development District; <br />• As part of the project, widen NC 86 from US 70 A to Old NC 10, SR <br />1710, including bicycle lanes and sidewalks; and <br />• Consult with county staff regarding design of the US 70 interchange to: <br />- To bring to the attention of the NCDOT Staff Biologist, the proposed <br />construction of a wildlife corridor under I-85 in the vicinity of US70 <br />Interchange, as recommended in the "The New Hope Corridor <br />
