<br />15 <br />[NOTE: the Draft 2004-2010 STIP programmed this project for right-of-way <br />acquisition in 2003 and construction in 2005. Chapel Hill requested that NCDOT <br />postpone the project and transfer funding to the new transit maintenance facility. <br />At the time NGDOT was developing the Draft 2004-2010 STIP, planning and <br />design for this project were in progress.] <br />There are three schools in the vicinity of Homestead Road: Chapel Hill High <br />School, Smith Middle School and Seawell Elemeritary School. Many students <br />live within walking distance and cycling distance to Chapel Hill High School and <br />must walk or cycle along Homestead Road, and cross the road daily. Provision <br />of sidewalks is of utmost importance for the safety of students and other <br />pedestrians who use this corridor, Provision of bicycle facilities is, likewise, <br />necessary far the safety of students and others. <br />C. NC 86 Bicycle Lanes: Construct bicycle lanes (4-foot paved shoulders) from <br />Chapel Hill (Whitfield Road) to Hillsborough (US 70 Business), The Draft 2006- <br />2012 STIP does not include this project, This project will extend bicycle lanes on <br />Airport Road (NC86) in Chapel Hill to US 70 Business in Hillsborough. Bicycle <br />lanes have been completed along NC 86 from UNC to Whitfield Road (SR 1731) <br />in Orange County, NC 86 from Chapel Hill to Hillsborough is experiencing <br />increasing numbers of bicyclists using this route, Also, there are two schools <br />along this route (A,L. Stanback Middle School and New Hope Elementary <br />School). This route is listed as priority I of the primary bicycle routes proposed in <br />the Orange County Bicycle Transportation Plan adopted April 6, 1999, This <br />project is listed in the 2002-2008 TIP, as an incidental bicycle need. Orange <br />County requests that bicycle lanes be constructed as an independent project, <br />and, if necessary, programmed in phases. <br />D. Old NC 86 (SR 1009) Bicycle Lanes: Construct bicycle lanes (4-foot paved <br />shoulders) from Carrboro (Eubanks Road) to Hillsborough (I-40). The Draft <br />2006-2012 STIP does not include this project, This route, from the Carrboro <br />Transition area (Hickory Forest Road) to Lafayette Drive, is identified in the <br />Orange County Bicycle Transportation Plan, and would extend bicycle <br />accommodations requested in TIP Project R-2825 to Carrboro. The Town of <br />Carrboro Transportation Advisory Committee has also established bicycle routes <br />on Old NC 86 as a transportation priority connection between proposed bicycle <br />facilities along Old Fayetteville Road, Homestead Road and Eubanks Road. <br />[NOTE REGARDING BICYCLE FACILITY REQUESTS: A NCDOT <br />representative has indicated that funding available for Bike and Ped TIP projects, <br />as independent projects, is not sufficient to provide 4-ft. paved shoulders for long <br />bicycle routes such as the ones Orange County has requested, In the future, the <br />projects could be divided into shorter projects that provide connections between <br />logical origins and destinations, as there has to be same rationale for each <br />separate route.] <br />
