Orange County & NCDOT Highway Luncheon <br />Division 7 and District 1 <br />October 30, 2013 12:00 p.m. <br />11/07/13 <br /> <br />ii. Meeting with NCDOT, Orange County and Mebane regarding regional <br />transportation network. <br /> Craig Benedict reviewed this item briefly and referred to an exhibit (map) that <br />had been passed out. He said that given economic development efforts in the <br />area there is a need to review the larger transportation network in the vicinity <br />of the interstate between Mebane and western Orange County. This network <br />should include linkages between roads on both sides of the interstate. These <br />off-interstate linkages would relieve congestion at the interchanges. Barry <br />Jacobs inquired how this would fit with the proposed Mattress Factory Road <br />interchange and Buckhorn Road transportation improvement projects. Craig <br />and Abigaile Pittman summarized the relationship of the proposed <br />interchange and existing Mebane interchanges (like Mebane Oaks) to the <br />future level of service issues for Buckhorn Road, and the staff’s efforts to <br />prioritize these projects with B-G MPO in the NCDOT SPOT 3.0 process. <br />iii. Eno EDD – Eno Economic Development District (EDD) Access Management <br />Plan, including protections for residential properties along Old NC Hwy 10 <br />(Abigaile Pittman, Craig Benedict) <br /> Craig Benedict gave a brief summary of the concept and importance of <br />access management to future development of the Eno EDD, the proposed <br />plan, and where we were in the process of adoption. He included concerns <br />that had been expressed by residents and the BOCC about providing some <br />sort of protection for the properties along Old NC Hwy 10. The staff proposes <br />to study options for protection of these properties and report back to the <br />BOCC. Abigaile Pittman noted that implementation of protection option(s) <br />would be outside the scope of the proposed Plan. <br /> v. Eno EDD - Signage to address truck traffic (NCDOT) <br /> Abigaile Pittman stated that within the past couple of weeks she had met with <br /> Chuck Edwards and discussed possible options for signage in the Eno EDD <br />33 <br />ReturntoAgenda
