10 <br /> The City of Graham approved the study prior to the Phase 2 report while the Burlington-Graham <br /> Metropolitan Planning Organization in collaboration with Alamance County approved the study in <br /> its entirety with phase 2. These entities submitted the western portion of the corridor for the State's <br /> Strategic Prioritization of Transportation (SPOT) 6.0 and will do so again for 7.0. Orange County <br /> received the report, as did the Triangle Area Rural Planning Organization (TARPO) and the <br /> Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO). Both regional <br /> agencies defer to the County respectively. In Fall 2019, the Town of Carrboro Town Council <br /> unanimously approved a resolution unconditionally opposing the study. <br /> While Orange County continues coordinating and collaborating with all its local and regional <br /> partners along the corridor since the study's completion, traffic on NC 54 has returned to pre- <br /> covid levels, serious injuries and fatalities continue at increasing rate, and development pressure <br /> increase in southern Orange County. Orange County continues to collaborate with the North <br /> Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), which updated its Complete Street Policy and <br /> Implementation Guide in 2019, revamping State highway projects for a more comprehensive <br /> benefit for all users. The State also grants local government the ability to adopt transportations <br /> plans and implement them through Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinances. <br /> State's New Process— Complete Streets (link) <br /> Over the past three years, NCDOT has made significant progress is advancing the policy and <br /> improving its implementation through its Project Delivery Network (PDN). All highway projects <br /> now go through a comprehensive "complete" use assessment. The Comprehensive <br /> Transportation Plan (CTP) is the governing document for the State's new Complete Street Policy <br /> and its implementation. Per the new policy, "during the Comprehensive Transportation Planning <br /> process, bicycle, pedestrian, transit, and other multimodal usage shall be presumed to exist along <br /> and across certain corridors." NCDOT recognizes that an individual user is a pedestrian, bicyclist, <br /> transit rider, EV/gas vehicle driver, etc., and often times in the same day. Therefore, the policy <br /> dictates "Consideration of multimodal elements will begin at the inception of the transportation <br /> planning process and the decisions made will be documented." <br /> Local Authorization— UDO and Collector Street Plans <br /> The Orange County Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) in section 2.5.3.(V), includes the <br /> requirement that applications for site plans demonstrate compliance with adopted transportation <br /> plans. This may include reserving or dedicating right of way or requiring road construction listed <br /> in locally adopted Transportation Plans or on the Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP). <br /> Specific mention is also made in North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) § 136 66.2 and § 136 <br /> 66.10 regarding the reservation or dedication of right of way based on the concepts shown on the <br /> CTP and locally adopted transportation plans. Orange County currently has three locally adopted <br /> transportation plans: <br /> • Efland-Buckhorn-Mebane Access Management Plan <br /> • Orange Grove Road Access Management Plan <br /> • Eno Economic Development District Access Management Plan <br /> Approval of NC 54 West Multimodal Corridor Study would be a fourth locally adopted <br /> transportation plan and will demonstrate the County's commitment to multi-mobility, transit <br /> access, and safety of the transportation as an important local priority, followed by the US 70 <br /> Multimodal Corridor Study which is anticipated to be completed Fall 2023. It will also demonstrate <br /> to local, regional and state partners that the County, like NCDOT's Complete Streets, sees the <br /> road network as equitable for all travelers, not favoring one over the other, and acknowledges that <br /> a traveler throughout the course of the day will walk one place, ride another, drive to and from a <br /> third, and bike yet another. <br />
