7 <br /> Attachment 1 B <br /> Division and AMTRAK has indicated that there is enough potential ridership to make <br /> a stop in Hillsborough financially feasible. <br /> 4. Park and Ride Lot in the Buckhorn Economic Development District: Orange County <br /> requests funding for a park and ride facility (from the adopted Orange County <br /> Economic Development District Design Manual) to be located in the 1-85/Buckhorn <br /> Road Economic Development District. This project would provide an opportunity for <br /> coordination of public transportation efforts between two growing regions in North <br /> Carolina, the Triad and Triangle. <br /> 5. US 70 East-Interstate 85 Connector: Modify the 1-85 Connector interchange at US <br /> 70 to provide access from all directions. This project would enable traffic from <br /> northwest Orange County to access Interstate 85 more easily without risking the <br /> many points of traffic conflict through Efland. The Interstate 85/US 70 Connector just <br /> east of Efland is not accessible to traffic on eastbound US 70 and there is no access <br /> to westbound US 70 from the connector. <br /> Traffic has increased through northwestern Orange County on Efland Cedar Grove <br /> Road as an alternative to NC 86. Much of that traffic "dog-legs" through Efland via <br /> Forrest Avenue to Mt. Willing Road to access Interstate 85. Mt. Willing Road <br /> provides an at grade crossing of the North Carolina Railroad corridor, the only <br /> access across the railroad tracks between Hillsborough and Buckhorn Road. <br /> 6. SR 1009 (Old NC 86) Bicycle Facilities: Construct bicycle facilities on Old NC 86 <br /> from Hillsborough Road in Carrboro to 1-40 in Hillsborough. This route along Old NC <br /> 86, from Carrboro's Transition Area just north of Eubanks Road (SR 1727) to Rippy <br /> Lane (SR 1224), is priority 6 of the primary bicycle routes listed in the Orange <br /> County Bicycle Transportation Plan. This project would extend bicycle <br /> accommodations requested in TIP Project R-2825 (South Churton Street bicycle <br /> lanes from Interstate 40 to the Eno River) to Hillsborough Road in Carrboro and <br /> provide a connection between proposed bicycle facilities in Carrboro along Old <br /> Fayetteville Road, Homestead Road and Eubanks Road. <br /> 7. SR 1006 (Orange Grove Road) Extension: Extend Orange Grove Road from the <br /> east side of Churton Street (SR 1009) to US 70 business. This project is scheduled <br /> for reprioritization. The "EDD Transportation Work Group Recommendations" and <br /> the "Access Management and Awareness Project and Report for Orange Grove <br /> Road" recommend this project as an alternative access to the US 70 Business/NC <br /> 86 corridor to alleviate congestion on Churton Street. This project could also provide <br /> access to a potential site for Orange County's priority rail project, AMTRAK service <br /> and train station in Hillsborough, although the site for such rail station has not been <br /> determined. <br /> 8. Tip Project No. U-3436, SR 1148 (Eno Mountain Road) and SR 1192 (Mayo Street) <br /> at SR 1006 (Orange Grove Road): realign intersection and make safety <br /> improvements. This project is not included in the Draft 2012 — 2018 TIP, and is <br />
