2 <br /> • Assumed 130' max right-of-way with 2' curb & gutter, 12' to 14' travel lanes, 10' to 23' <br /> median and 10' to 12' shared use path. <br /> • Current right of way along NC-54 is 100'. Future right of way will need to be dedicated as <br /> development occurs. <br /> Roundabouts are recommended along NC-54 at: <br /> • Alamance County - Wormranch Road and Mt. Willen Road/Salem Church Road <br /> • Orange County - Mineral Springs Road and Morrow Mill Road <br /> Pedestrian cross walks and turn lanes are recommended at other intersections. Other general <br /> recommendations for all intersections (some of which can be deployed as relatively low-cost, <br /> short-range improvements) include: <br /> • Provide pedestrian crossing treatments, such as crosswalks, signage, and signals, where <br /> appropriate; <br /> • Where warranted, provide turn lanes (especially left-turns) of adequate length to <br /> accommodate typical vehicle queues; <br /> • Monitor and update signal timing and phasing as necessary to optimize efficiency; <br /> • Periodically assess unsignalized intersections to determine if traffic volumes, delay, or <br /> crash history warrant signalization; and <br /> • Enhance lighting, pavement marking, and signage as needed to maintain visibility. <br /> The total overall cost for all projects identified in the corridor study is estimated at $180 million. <br /> Projects would seek funding through future SPOT processes split over four phases: <br /> • Phase 1 - $43,200,000 - 2020-2030 <br /> o Old Fayetteville Road to Dodson Crossroads <br /> • Phase 2 - $47,700,000 - 2025-2035 <br /> o NC-119 to Wormranch Road and Dodson Crossroads to Morrow Mill Road <br /> • Phase 3 - $35,400,000 - 2035-2040 <br /> o Wormranch Road to Mineral Springs Road <br /> • Phase 4 - $52,200,000 - 2040 and beyond <br /> o Mineral Springs Road to Morrow Mill Road <br /> Estimate includes $26.3 million for the proposed Shared Use Path. A copy of the draft study and <br /> supporting materials is available at www.nc54west.com/. <br /> Public Involvement: <br /> VHB conducted two rounds of public workshops in Graham City Hall, Rigmor House in Orange <br /> County and Carrboro Town Hall: <br /> • January 2018 — presented existing condition analysis and gathered input from the public <br /> about their issues, concerns and discuss possible strategies to address them <br /> • May 2018 — presented proposed recommendations and addressed remaining public <br /> questions, issues, and concerns. <br /> A website (www.nc54west.com/) was created keeping the public involved in the study. <br /> Carrboro Board of Aldermen - October 16, 2018 <br />
