Attachment 6: Draft Durham - Chapel Hill - Carrboro (DCHC) MPO Project List Ma ID #" Project Project Description/Need SPOT 3.0 Score HIGHWAY PROJECTS Description: Develop congestion management, limited access, bicycle and pedestrian improvements, and aesthetic and capacity improvements along South Churton Street (Old NC 86 /SR 1009) from 1-40 to U.S. 70 Business. More specifically, the project would widen South Churton Street along this segment to multiple lanes with a landscaped median and would widen the railroad bridge. This project is recommended in the DCHC MPO Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). The feasibility study completed by NCDOT in February 2002 recommends a four (4)4ane divided curb and gutter cross section with a 16 -foot median forthe entire segment. Orange County will stress the need to study improvements within the current right- of-way (ROW)forthe segment north of 1 -85 because of the significant built constraints along the corridor and its proximity to the Town of Hillsborough's historic district. Orange County will request that, where South Churton Street (Old NC 86) conditions do not prevent the addition of frontage roads, the feasibility study include the addition offrontage roads with limited access from 1 Improvements the corridor. 22.36 Division Need: Traffic counts along South Churton Street (Old NC 86) indicate that the corridor is near capacity for average annual daily counts and over capacity for peak periods. Capacity improvements would ease congestion and improve travel time along this primary north -south corridor connecting the Town of Hillsborough and northern Orange County to IAO and 1 -85. This was the second highest scoring project on Orange County's list in the last iteration of STIP development. The project is included in the draft 2016 -2025 STIP but is not considered committed because the right -of -way, utilities and construction phases of the project are scheduled in the last five years. Consequently, it must be resubmitted for consideration. Description: Widen IAO from four (4) lanes to six (6) lanes from the 1- 40/1 -85 interchange to the Durham County line (U.S. 15 -501). The project is recommended in the DCHC MPO MTP. 41.96 Statewide 1-40 Widening from 1- 40/1 -85 interchange to Need. According to data from NCDOT, traffic along this corridor is near capacity and is expected to exceed capacity in future years. The 2 U.S. 15-501 project would reduce congestion and travel time and will likely score relatively well when compared to other projects submitted because of 30.18 Regional the added emphasis on congestion and benefit -cost. This project is eligible forfunding at the statewide, regional and divisional tiers. 23.59 Division This project is included in the draft 2016 -2025 STIP but is not considered committed because the right- of-way and construction phases of the project are scheduled in the last five years. Consequently, it must be resubmitted for consideration. Description: Widen IAO from four (4) lanes to six (6) lanes from Old NC 86 to the Durham County line (U.S. 15501). This is a subset of the full 1-40 widening project recommended in the DCHC MPO MTP. Need: According to data from NCDOT, traffic along this corridor is near capacity and is expected to exceed capacity in future years. The project would reduce congestion and travel time and will likely score relatively well when compared to other projects submitted because of 3 IAO Widening from Old NC 86 to U.S. 15 -501 the added emphasis on congestion and benefit -cost. This project is eligible for funding at the statewide, regional and divisional tiers. N/A (New Project) The full 1-40 widening project is included in the draft 2016 -2025 STIP but is not considered committed because the right- of-way and construction phases of the project are scheduled in the last five years. Consequently, it must be resubmitted for consideration. This subset of the full project is being recommended for submission because it is a lower cost project concentrated along a shorter segment of the corridor where congestion is the most profound, and consequently, the project has a greater chance of being funded and included in the STIP in earlier years than in the existing draft 2016 -2025 STIP. Description: Widen IAO from four (4) lanes to six (6) lanes from NC 86 to the Durham County line (U.S. 15 -501). This is a subset of the full 1-40 widening project recommended in the DCHC MPO MTP. Need: According to data from NCDOT, traffic along this corridor is near capacity and is expected to exceed capacity in future years. The 4 IAO Widening from NC 86 to U.S. 15 -501 project would reduce congestion and travel time and will likely score relatively well when compared to other projects submitted because of N/A (New Project) the added emphasis on congestion and benefit -cost. This project is eligible for funding at the statewide, regional and divisional tiers.
