Farrington Road at I-40: <br /> The proposed future interchange of I-40 with Farrington Road is seen by <br /> residents of the area to be a threat to the low density rural quality of the <br /> residential area. As discussed in the Recommended Plan section of this <br /> report, it is anticipated that an additional access point to I-40 between <br /> Durham and Chapel Hill will be needed to relieve congestion at the NC 54 and <br /> the US 15-501 interchanges. Also, development and density in the Farrington <br /> Road area is increasing rapidly. This new traffic will require access to I-40. <br /> Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities: <br /> Sidewalks and bikeways were proposed by many citizens as environmentally <br /> compatible transportation alternatives. <br /> Proposed University of North Carolina Roadway Changes: <br /> A number of thoroughfare changes have been proposed by the University of <br /> North Carolina as part of their recently developed Draft Land Use Plan. At <br /> the time of this revision to the Chapel Hill Thoroughfare Plan there had not <br /> yet been final approval of the UNC Land Use Plan and its related thorough- <br /> fare changes by the University Board of Trustees. The Town has begun the <br /> process of analyzing the effects of the proposed University thoroughfare <br /> changes on the overall thoroughfare system. At such time as any <br /> revisions to the thoroughfare system related to the proposed land use plan <br /> are approved, they will be considered for inclusion in the Durham-Chapel <br /> Hill-Carrboro Thoroughfare Plan revision. <br /> 4.10 <br />
