Chapter 2: The Plan <br /><< Y;,ption3: <br />The third design scenario includes a four - <br />lane divided highway with a central planted <br />median and shared bike and pedestrian <br />pathway, paved with asphalt, and safely <br />separated from the road by a wide <br />landscaping strip. The Task Force <br />unanimously supported Option 3 and agreed <br />that separating the pedestrian and bike path <br />from the road created a greater sense of <br />safety along the busy street. Another <br />advantage was the economic benefits of <br />combining the sidewalk and bike path and <br />choosing asphalt as the paving material <br />rather than concrete. Below is a cross <br />section of the chosen design scenario for the <br />widening of the 70 Corridor. <br />— - -- , <br />�Ki <br />=t, <br />— - - <br />�i.i_ .,�,� � �i! s 4� °i�� . ---41� it a "Ai ����I ��'` �•� '�!. <br />" If growth continues on its projected path in'Hillsborough, the average daily trips on US 70 will exceed <br />capacity in 10 -12 yearsJ1 However, funding will have -to be secured from the NC,DQT in advance of road <br />widening. This could add significant time before the improvements are made. ne, design of the'US 70/ <br />Cornelius Street, Corridor should take into account the different types of traffic as well as the various <br />uses along the corridor. ..It is especially important that the residential properties are considered as road <br />designs are detailed., US 70 is a highway but it is also used as a neighborhood road. Therefore, it is <br />important that road improvements are sympathetic to the surrounding neighborhoods. <br />19 <br />US 70/. Cornelius Street Corridor Strategic Plan 2007 <br />
