An example <br />of the need for this project is the intersection of US 70 with Old No.10 <br />(SR 1715} that is currently operating at level of service "F". <br />g} Mt Herman Church Road (SR 1713) -Preliminary plans by the <br />Planning & Environmental Branch, Division of Highways of NCDOT <br />indicate that this road may be relocated as part of 1-305. Orange <br />County requests that this road be designed with 12' wide travel lanes <br />and 4' wide bicycle lanes for a total paved width of 32'. <br />h} Old NC 10 (SR 1710) - Preliminary plans by the Planning & <br />Environmental Branch, Division of Highways of NCDOT indicate that <br />this road may also be relocated as part of I-305. Orange County <br />requests that this road be designed with 12' wide travel lanes and 4' <br />wide bicycle lanes for a total paved width of 32'. <br />i} NC $6 - NCDOT has expressed concern that the width (2-lane} of the <br />NC 86 overpass is inadequate for increased traffic volumes that would <br />result from proposed development in the adjacent Economic <br />Development District, Orange County requests that the NC 86 <br />overpass be widened.. <br />j} Park and Ride Station -Planning ahead for the use of rail as a <br />viable alternative mass transit opportunity, a park and ride station <br />could be incorporated into the intersection area of University <br />Station and Mf. Herman Church Road. This location would <br />eventually permit access to Durham and Chapel Hill by rail or, in <br />the interim, a bus system. <br />2} R-2530 DURHAM NORTHWEST LOOP ENO DRIVE :new multi-lane route, <br />from I-35 in Orange County to I-85 in Durham County -Orange County is <br />strongly opposed to having this facility within Orange County and is also very <br />concerned about the environmental impacts to the Eno River State Park. <br />Orange County requests that this facility be on a location outside of Orange <br />County, <br />Status.
