Attachment 1 <br />2007-2013 TIP PRIORITY LIST STATUS <br />5 <br />6. NC 86 (North of Hillsborough) Improvements: Widen NC 86, from US 70 Bypass <br />north of Hillsborough to SR 1332, Coleman Loop (Coleman Loop also being the <br />intersection area. of the planned connector between NC 86 and NC 57), to four lanes <br />with intersection improvements at US 70 Bypass to include extending the queuing <br />lane for traffic turning east onto US 70 Bypass from northbound Churton Street/NC <br />86. NC 86 is the major north-south route <br />through Orange County. NC 57 converges into US 86 just north of US 70 Bypass. <br />The segment of NC 86 between NC 57 and US 70 is congested, rendering a high <br />accident location at the intersection of US 70 Bypass at NC 86. <br />Draft 2007-2013 Status: Not in TIP. <br />7. US 70 Bypass Widening: Widen, from the Orange/Durham County Line to the US <br />70 - I-85 Connector east of Efland, US 70 Bypass to a four-lane divided section with <br />bike and pedestrian improvements. This project should be phased to address traffic <br />counts and existing congestion. Orange County requests that this project be <br />identified as a need and included in the 2006-2012 STIP. <br />Draft 2007-2013 Status: Not in TIP. <br />8. U=3436 SR 1148 (Eno Mountain Road) and SR 1192 (Mayo Street) at SR 1006 <br />Orange Grove Road): realign intersection and make safety improvements. This <br />project is listed in the 2004 - 2010 TIP as an unfunded project. It was a "first priority <br />project" in the Town of Hillsborough Thoroughfare Plan for 1989 but the Hillsborough <br />Town Board removed the realignment from the Hillsborough Transportation Plan in <br />1997. More recently, Hillsborough Commissioners and Orange County <br />Commissioners have endorsed the project, in two joint studies that included <br />commissioners from both jurisdictions, the Economic Development District (EDD) <br />Transportation Work Group and the Joint Orange Grove Road Transportation Group <br />(JOGRTG). Both the "EDD Transportation Work Group Recommendations" and the <br />"Access Management and Awareness Project and Report for Orange Grove Road" <br />recommend this project for improved traffic flow and safety. <br />Draft 2007-2013 Status: Unfunded project. <br />9. Extend Orange Grove Road east to US 70 business. The "EDD Transportation <br />Work Group Recommendations" and the "Access Management. and Awareness <br />Project and Report for Orange Grove Road" recommend this project as an <br />alternative access to the US 70 Business/NC 86 corridor to alleviate congestion on <br />Churton Street. <br />Draft 2007-2013 Status: Not in TIP. <br />G a~ i'<~nspnr4,~~n1 i'li'~2(>U v-15Ti F;I'rlrn'I tyt.lsri?_007-13I'tlat7tyi.~s.Sla.u;;.Urr„ <br />
