26 <br /> the detailed designs of the road are prepared. No changes are proposed for this roadway. <br /> Y <br /> ALSTON AVENUE EXTENSION <br /> Background: This proposed thoroughfare would extend from Alston Avenue north of <br /> Holloway Street parallel to the railroad and cross under I-85 near Camden Avenue. From <br /> this point two alignments are possible: the original alignment would swing west throe <br /> a section of dedicated right-of-way north of Club Blvd., and tie into Roxboro Street through <br /> Road. The new alignment would follow Midland Terrace and Dearborn Drive and <br /> intersect with Oxford Road at Hamlin Road. Those routes would give needed relief to <br /> the Bragtown section of Roxboro Street. The new route would also provide better access <br /> to Treyburn from the eastern part of the city. <br /> Comments: A comment was received concerning the new alignment of Alston Ave. Ext. <br /> at Midland Terrace. The alignment as shown on the plan would take a new food <br /> distribution facility. <br /> Response: The old and new alignments of Alston Avenue Extension will be shifted to the <br /> northeast to avoid this property. Both the old and the new alignments are proposed to <br /> remain, on the plan. <br /> SOUTHEAST QUADRANT <br /> EAST END CONNECTOR <br /> Background: The East End Connector is included on the Adopted Thoroughfare Plan. It <br /> is a freeway linking US 70 to the Dean Freeway east of East End Avenue, <br /> improve access between northern Dunham and the Research Triangle It and greatly <br /> Durham International Airport. <br /> e Park and Raleigh- <br /> Comments: A comment was made that the Connector will not improve access for East <br /> Durham since much of the area does not have access to either the Dean Freeway or US <br /> 70 and that access to the Dean Freeway is needed between Briggs Avenue and Ellis Road. <br /> The request was made for improved access to US 70, the Dean Freeway, and the East <br /> End Connector. <br /> Response:The East End Connector remains the primary thoroughfare improvement in East <br /> Durham. It will improve access from the Raleigh Durham International Airport, the <br /> Research Triangle Park and east Durham to I-85 and points north. Additional minor <br /> 2.21, <br />
