It <br />is suggested that the dashed lines for ‘Needs Improvement’ and ‘Recommended’ be <br />made a bolder color that would be more visible. [Comment made by Planning Staff] <br />Planning Staff Explanation: At the 11” x 17” size, the gray shades under the Minor <br />Thoroughfares category are nearly impossible to discern. <br />b.Extend the Minor Thoroughfare ‘Needs Improvement’ line on Efland-Cedar Grove Road <br />north from Carr Store Road to the northern property line of the U.S. Post Office. <br />[Comment made by OUTBoard] <br />Planning Staff Response: Staff supports this comment. This minorextension of the <br />project to include the U.S. Post Office is recommended because the Post Office is one of <br />the larger trip generators in the area(1300 AADT, 2011 per NCDOT),and the frontage <br />has wide open access and needs improvements that enhance safety. <br />2.Public Transportation and Rail Map – No comments. <br />3.Bicycle Map <br />a.Add NCDOT/TARPO proposed bike path on Old NC 86 between Arthur <br />Minnis Road and Ode Turner Road.[Comment made by Planning Staff] <br />Planning Staff Explanation: This section of the Old NC 86 bike path is on the boundary <br />between TARPO’s and DCHC MPO’sjurisdictions, and is also included on the proposed <br />DCHC MPO CTP list. Both TARPO and DCHC MPO have suggested that for consistency <br />it be included in both CTPs. <br />4.Pedestrian Map – Rural Community Nodes should be revised as follows: <br />•Revise Cane Creek/Bingham label to White Cross <br />•Revise Upper Eno/Cedar Grove label (western one on map) to Carr <br />•Revise Upper Eno/Cedar Grove label (eastern one on map) to Cedar <br />Grove <br />•Revise Little River label (northern one on map) to Caldwell <br />•Revise Little River label (southern one on map) to Schley <br />[Comment made by Planning Staff] <br />Planning Staff Explanation: The node labels on the Pedestrian Map were incorrect.
