<br /> <br />previously submitted Settler’s Pointe TIA and adjusted accordingly for background <br />growth and contributing traffic from approved development. This is consistent with the <br />scoping document previously approved by the Department. <br /> <br />Committed NCDOT Projects: <br /> <br />The TIA indicates the proposed development is proximal to two NCDOT projects <br />currently programmed in the State Transportation Improvement Program(STIP). Namely, <br />U-5845(Churton Street Widening) and I-3306A(I-40 Widening). These projects are <br />currently under development. Project schedules are uncertain at this time due to recent <br />budget impacts to Department programs. <br /> <br />Analysis Results and Mitigation Requirements: <br /> <br />Old NC 86 and Waterstone Drive/Rippy Lane Intersection: <br /> <br />The analysis indicates that this intersection is expected to operate acceptably in the 2023 <br />build scenario. <br /> <br />We concur with the TIA recommendation that no improvements are required. <br /> <br />Old NC 86 and I-40 Westbound Ramps Intersection: <br /> <br />We concur that, the intersection will operate acceptably in the future build scenario with <br />no additional improvements necessary to mitigate impacts attributable to site traffic. <br />Future improvements may be considered within the scope of the above-mentioned STIP <br />projects if deemed to be warranted and needed. <br /> <br />Old NC 86 and I-40 Eastbound Ramps Intersection: <br /> <br />We concur with the TIA recommendation that the developer install a traffic signal at this <br />intersection. Future improvements may be considered within the scope of the above- <br />mentioned STIP projects if deemed to be warranted and needed. <br /> <br /> <br />Old NC 86 and Service Road Intersection: <br /> <br />We concur with the TIA recommendation, that due to, short intersection spacing and <br />expected queue spillback from the adjacent Old NC 86/I-40 Eastbound ramp interchange <br />that this intersection be converted to right in/right out with a northbound directional left- <br />over, subject to the following: <br /> <br />x Provide appropriate median and channelization to provide positive guidance and <br />control of movements. The developer shall notify and coordinate with adjacent <br />property owners whose access may be impacted by this geometry. <br />x Construct an exclusive northbound left turn lane with 125’ of full storage and <br />appropriate transitions <br />451
