Additionally, as part of the Way Finding Project(see#2 under"Additional Items of Interest")NZ"C <br /> recommended that directional signage at the intersection of Eubanks Road and Old NC 86 would be helpful, <br /> particularly as the area grows and motorists less familiar with that intersection need to ascertain directions to <br /> Hillsborough and Carrboro. <br /> (3)North-South Connector Road via Lake Hogan Farms Extension <br /> The NTAAC continues to advocate for the completion of the North-South Connector Road,using <br /> Lake Hogan Road Extension,northward to Eubanks Road and Morris Grove School, as a solution to traffic <br /> and safety issues. This connector road would provide an alternate route to Old NC 86 as well as improve <br /> traffic circulation and safety for the surrounding area including Hogan Farms and the future Twin Creeks Park. <br /> Carrboro Planning Staff confirmed the last phase of the development Ballentine/MI Homes has stalled,but an <br /> engineering review of bridge crossing is underway. (The connector's current path requires two bridge <br /> crossings.) The NTAAC recommends that the Orange County Board of Commissioners and Board of Aldermen <br /> discuss the North-South Connector Roadproject at their next joint meeting. We are concerned that these joint <br /> meetings have been cancelled for the past two years. We also request an update on what funding, if any, the <br /> County has allotted to the Twin Creeks Parks and the completion of the connector road. <br /> The rest of the NTAAC's projects from the past year are listed below in the report. As you can see, <br /> the majority of these projects involve Old NC 86.We believe this focus will continue into the future. <br /> Thank you for your time and this opportunity to provide this update. We plan to present this report in <br /> person at the Board of Commissioners meeting on Tuesday,March 12th and can address any questions then. <br />
