a DRAFT 7 Alternative roads From DOT's list In priority order by what is preferred by the work group: 1. Elizabeth Brady alignment 3,which does not cross the river, goes across ridge(IF this is the least impact to the river) 2. Elizabeth Brady alignment 2 (averts racetrack, crosses river) 3. (original)Elizabeth Brady alignment 1 4. Lawrence Road(with 86 connector)—but different function from above 5. Western bypass 6. No build 7. Widen Churton St. from 70 business to 70 bypass Other Proposed road projects Please review these carefully because I don't know these roads, and code to map ➢ Amended northwest bypass using existing wads Connector from Lawrence Rd. to 86 ➢ New interchange on 1-85 and road connecting 70 and New Hope Church Rd. ➢ Straighten(and widen?)Efland Cedar Grove Rd., and improve near 1-85 70A cross-connector to Orange Grove Road, over RR tracks ➢ Northeastern loop connector ➢ Entire perimeter of DOT study area, as a road ➢ East-west connector adjacent to Duke Forest ➢ East-west connector between 86 and Old 86 Widening of 70 bypass (in town plan but not in state TIP) Recommendations from group Expand the DOT study area to the entire 50-year water and sewer boundary from the town plan ➢ Have DOT continue with its existing list of options ➢ Consider DOT's current study area boundary as a road alignment, adjusted as needed and using existing roads where possible ➢ Design and build the Elizabeth Brady road extension to minimize the impact on the Eno River,even if it reduces mobility ➢ Treat Elizabeth Brady Rd. as a local road,not a bypass ➢ Treat Lawrence Rd. option as having a different function from Elizabeth Brady,to move through traffic around,not through, downtown ➢ Develop a new interchange of I-85 east of Lawrence Rd. ➢ Do other non-road fixes too Issues for another day Non-road improvements needed 4
