45 <br /> Carver Street Extension (Danube Lane (SR 1648) to Hamlin Road (SR 1634)) <br /> East Carver Street needs to be extended from Danube Lane (SR 1648) to Hamlin Road (SR 1634) to <br /> improve east-west connectivity in northern Durham County. This area has recently experienced <br /> significant residential growth and East Carver Street provides access to the retail, medical and <br /> commercial facilities clustered along US 501 Business (North Roxboro Street) and Ben Franklin <br /> Boulevard. A two-lane roadway with sidewalks and bicycle facilities is proposed. The only other east- <br /> west connectors in this area, Hebron Road (SR 1656) and Old Oxford Road (SR 1004), are about 1 1/2 <br /> miles apart along US 501 Business (North Roxboro Street). This project is funded in the city of Durham <br /> Capital Improvement Program (CIP),the funding source being local traffic impact fees, and the City will <br /> also manage the project. Right-of-way acquisition and final design were underway in the fall of 2015 <br /> with construction to begin within the next year. <br /> South Churton Street (Eno River Bridge to 1-40), TIP No. U-5845 <br /> Traffic volume on all segments of South Churton Street(SR 1009)from 1-40 to the Eno River is projected <br /> to exceed LOS D capacity, 11,600 vehicles per day(vpd), by 2040 with expected volumes exceeding <br /> 21,000 vpd. Improvements are needed in order to relieve anticipated congestion and to maintain a <br /> minimum LOS D on the existing facility. This section of South Churton Street currently has a two-lane <br /> section from 1-40 to Oakdale Drive (SR 1133)with some intersection improvements. The cross-sections <br /> convert to a three-lane profile from Oakdale Drive to north of Orange Grove Road (SR 1006) and <br /> converts back to a two-lane section before crossing bridge 240 over the Southern Railroad. <br /> This corridor provides significant access to neighborhoods and shopping areas throughout Hillsborough <br /> as well as connecting all portions of town to both 1-85 and 1-40. With only two bridges over the Eno River <br /> in town,this route is the primary north-south travel conduit. Significant development and <br /> redevelopment along this corridor is also projected in the town's land use plan. The anticipated <br /> development will be compact in nature increasing the need for bicycle and pedestrian improvements in <br /> the corridor to more seamlessly connect the entire community and maximize the options to use <br /> alternate modes of transportation. The town also plans a passenger rail station near the intersection of <br /> Orange Grove Road and South Churton Street, which will also serve as a transit hub for the existing <br /> services in the community. <br /> The CTP project proposal is to provide a four-lane divided cross section with a raised median for this <br /> facility to better accommodate the projected 2040 volume. Bike lanes and sidewalks are also included <br /> along the project length. <br /> Eno Mountain Road (SR 1148) & Mayo Street (SR 1192) at Orange Grove Road <br /> (SR 1006) Intersection, TIP No. U-3436 <br /> The Eno Mountain Road (SR 1148) and Mayo Street(SR 1192) intersections with Orange Grove Road (SR <br /> 1006) are suburban intersections that need improved safety and traffic flow. Improvements are also <br /> needed for adequate pedestrian, on-road bicycle and bus accommodations. <br /> Minimum Problem Statements—Highway—12 <br />
