Opportunities and Constraints Comments Traffic Improvements • Does change to commercial zoning create a district that might require a widening of NC 57? • Widening NC 57 would cause great problems because many well and septic systems are located very close to the road, • Development might not require widening, but it could facilitate other improvements such as left turn and de- celeration lanes. • Any road improvements will be on the developer's property.. Orange County will not condemn property for road improvements to widen NC 57, It will not be a County initiative.
