Section 4 of the Report – Cost Analysis: Conceptual Design and Construction Cost Estimate Cost estimates were developed for each new road and for roadway improvements to existing roadways. Based on the conceptual design process, the overall cost for constructing the approximately 11 miles of new roadways and improvements to existing roadways would be around $30.9 million. The additional cost for adding sidewalks is about $13.6 million. The total cost to provide the identified roadway network and associated improvement to existing roads is approximately $44 million. Projects will be funded by both by developers and through the Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP) process. See pages 43-44 of the Report. General Next Steps – Amending the E-B-M Access Management Plan The Efland-Buckhorn-Mebane Access Management Plan (AMP) was adopted in November 2011 to address traffic, access and connectivity and to maintain the functionality of the transportation network as the E-B-M area develops. The following is a link to the 2011 AMP: http://www.orangecountync.gov/departments/planning_and_inspections/AdoptedEfland BuckhornMebaneAMP.pdf Over time, with the installation of sewer and water lines and development of several industrial and commercial sites, it became evident that a somewhat less conceptual and more precise access management concept for the area was necessary. The data presented in the consultant’s technical report will inform an upcoming amendment of the access management plan and provide the basis and justification for requiring the dedication of rights-of-way in the E-B-M Study Area. The amendment process will occur approximately over the next year, and include a review by the OUTBoard, review and approval by the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). Additional details will be provided as amendment plans progress. 24
