ATTACHMENT 1 Q R A F T 4 <br />ORANGE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION PRIORITY LIST <br />FOR CONSIDERATION OF FUNDING IN <br />THE 2006 - 2012 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM <br />Our transportation needs list is divided into two sections. The first section deals <br />with selected projects within the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro metropolitan <br />planning area. The second section deals with projects in the remaining portions <br />of Orange County, which lie outside of the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro <br />metropolitan planning area. <br />ORANGE COUNTY PROJECTS WITHIN <br />THE DURHAM-CHAPEL HILL-CARRBORO <br />METROPOLITAN PLANNING AREA <br />1. SR 1006 Orange Grove Road, at Interstate 40: Construct a pedestrian bridge <br />over I-40. New Grady Brown Elementary and newly constructed Cedar Ridge <br />High School are located on New Grady Brown School Raad which has <br />access from Orange Grove Road south of I-40. The schools are within <br />walking and cycling distance from residential areas north of I-40. Bicyclists <br />and pedestrian must share the roadway with motor vehicles crossing the <br />narrow two-lane bridge that carries Orange Grove Road over Interstate 40. <br />The bridge is too narrow to accommodate a pedestrian walkway. Lack of an <br />adequate pedestrian crossing presents an unsafe environment for students to <br />walk to the schools. <br />2. U-2805: Homestead Road (SR 1777) Improvements: Improve Homestead <br />Road from SR 1834, High School Road, to NC 86. This project should <br />include bicycle and pedestrian facilities. There are three schools in the <br />vicinity of Homestead Road: Chapel Hill High School, Smith Middle School <br />and Seawell Elementary School. Many students live within walking distance <br />and cycling distance to Chapel Hill High School and must walk or cycle along <br />Homestead Road, and cross the road daily. Provision of sidewalks is of <br />utmost importance for the safety of students and other pedestrians who use <br />this corridor. Provision of bicycle facilities is, likewise, necessary for the <br />safety of students and others. <br />This project should also include appropriate safety improvements to the <br />intersection of Homestead Road with High School Road and the intersection <br />of Homestead Road with Seawell School Road. Both of those intersections <br />are near public schools. <br />3. NC 86, Bicycle Lanes: Construct bicycle lanes (4-foot paved shoulders) from <br />Chapel Hill (Whitfield Road) to Hillsborough (US 70 Business). This project <br />will extend bicycle lanes on Airport Road (NC86) in Chapel Hill to US 70 <br />Business in Hillsborough. Bicycle lanes have recently been completed along <br />NC 86 from UNC to Whitfield Road (SR 1731) in Orange County. NC 86 from <br />
