Memorandum to BOCC <br />June 23, 2004 <br />Page 2 <br />Mt. Herman Church Road is listed as a secondary priority bicycle route in the <br />Orange County Bicycle Plan. <br />Mt. Herman Church Road is not classified as a thoroughfare in the Hillsborough <br />Transportation Plan. Mt. Herman Church Road is also classified as major <br />thoroughfare in the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Area <br />thoroughfare plan study dated September 1996. It is important to note that the <br />thoroughfare plan was never adopted by the Transportation Advisory Committee. <br />The recommended cross section is a two-lane shoulder section. Seventy feet is <br />adequate for the proposed two 12-ft. travel lanes with 4' paved shoulders for <br />bicycles. There are no improvements planned for this section of Mr. Herman <br />Church Road. <br />The 1999 and 2001 average annual daily traffic calculated for Old NC 10 (west of <br />Mt. Herman Church Road) is 2,300. Current capacity for Old NC 10 (level of <br />service D) is approximately 12,000. <br />ao <br />
