RESEARCH TRIANGLE LOGISTICS PARK TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS <br />Introduction <br />June 4, 2020 <br /> 7 <br /> <br />1.0 INTRODUCTION <br />The purpose of this report is to evaluate the traffic impacts of the proposed Research Triangle Logistics Park in <br />Hillsborough, Orange County, North Carolina. This development is located to the west of Old NC 86 between <br />Interstate 40 (I-40) and Davis Road. The development’s location is shown in Figure 1. The site plan is shown in <br />Figure 2. <br />The site currently consists of undeveloped forested land. Construction of the proposed development is anticipated to <br />be completed in 2023. At full build-out the site is envisioned to provide 2,251,200 total square feet of industrial <br />warehousing. <br />The purpose of this report is to evaluate the development in terms of projected vehicular traffic conditions, evaluate <br />the ability of the adjacent roadways to accommodate the additional traffic and to recommend transportation <br />improvements needed to mitigate congestion that may result from additional site traffic. This report presents trip <br />generation, trip distribution, traffic analyses, and recommendations for improvements needed to meet anticipated <br />traffic demands. The analysis examines the AM and PM peak hours for the 2020 Existing, 2023 No-Build, 2023 Build <br />without improvements, and 2023 Build with improvements. <br />A study was conducted for the development referred to as Settler’s Pointe in 2017. This development contained <br />warehousing in addition to several land uses not pursued as part of the Research Triangle Logistics Park. This study <br />is included in the Appendix. <br /> <br /> <br />130
