7 <br /> IMPLEMENTATION <br /> The US 15-501 Corridor Study is a long term plan,with the goal to Reimagine US 15-501 as a integrated, <br /> multimodal corridor. Due to the long term nature of this plan, the implementation of recommendations <br /> documented in this plan have been broken into three phases: <br /> - Long Term- <br /> anticipated after 20 years <br /> Mid Term- <br /> 4a Short Term- anticipated within 10-20 years <br /> anticipated within 10 years <br /> Along with differing timeframes for the recommendations, implementation will be overseen by <br /> different entities. Major roadway projects, like new interchanges,will be funded and built by the North <br /> Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and will include bicycle and pedestrian facilities. <br /> Standalone bicycle and pedestrian improvements or smaller roadway projects, could be funded by local <br /> municipalities like the Town of Chapel Hill or City of Durham. Developers may also be responsible for <br /> constructing new streets or bicycle and pedestrian facilities on parcels as they redevelop. <br /> With all the stages of implementation,there is a recognition that more detailed level analysis and <br /> design will be completed.At this time, more context sensitive details, like final placement of crosswalks <br /> or streetscaping will be determined. See for example the aerial photo below that shows an illustration <br /> of how a Reduced Conflict Intersection design can be implemented within an urban corridor with high <br /> pedestrian activity.
