New Hope Corridor Open Space Master Plan <br />• Establish a trail from Chapel Hill - Durham Boulevard to Chapel Hill Road along <br />the west side of the floodplain. The Durham Urban Trails and Greenways <br />Commission has recommended a greenway link in this area.. Connection to <br />trails north of the Boulevard is possible underneath the Boulevard at the bridge. <br />• Incorporate plans for an open space connector into development plans for the <br />large tracts of land to the west (when they are developed). The connector would <br />follow the unnamed drainageway that flows across Watkins Road, then toward <br />New Hope Creek and Sherwood Githens Middle School. <br />• As the area south of Chapel Hill- Durham Boulevard develops, maintain a <br />vegetated buffer of at least 50 feet along the Boulevard's edges and incorporate <br />a bicycle/pedestrian trail leading westward toward Chapel Hill. <br />30 <br />
