COMPLETE COMMENTS ARE PROVIDED LATER IN THIS DOCUMENT. • Consider adding a project to address congestion on South Churton Street through Downtown Hillsborough. o Explore an eastern bypass route including improvements along US 70A, Lawrence Road, and Baldwin Road. o Explore a western bypass route including improvements along Oakdale Drive, Orange Grove Road, Eno Mountain Road, Dimmocks Mill Road, and W Hill Ave. • Consider alternative methods for reducing traffic congestion as opposed to roadway widening, such as congestion charging schemes, dynamic tolling, reserved bus and carpool lanes, and additional bicycle and walking facilities. • Bolin Creek Greenway isn't on the CTP and should be added. • Shoulders should be added to rural roads which are heavily traveled by cyclists, or on rural roads in general. • Add separated multi-use path along Old NC 86 between Carrboro (Hillsborough Road) and Hillsborough (Eno River). • Lower speed limit on North Greensboro Street in Carrboro from Estes Drive Extension to East Main Street. • Extend bicycle lanes on Rosemary Street from Roberson Street to Main Street and Main Street to Weaver Street in Carrboro.
