21 <br /> US 70 Multimodal Corridor Study <br /> Goal-Setting <br /> The following section overviews the vision that informed the plan's <br /> direction. <br /> 3.1 Vision <br /> This plan is guided by a community-informed vision that addresses the priorities and concerns of the US 70 <br /> corridor's residents. Following these workshops, the most consistently shared values were condensed into a <br /> cohesive, aspirational vision statement that guided the subsequent policy framework. <br /> The US 70 between NC 119 in Mebane to the Orange/Durham County border will be an economically vibrant <br /> multimodal corridor, supporting high-capacity transit, free-flowing traffic, efficient freight transport, and bicycle <br /> and pedestrian connectivity. Without sacrificing the character and environmental resources of its communities, <br /> the corridor's infrastructure and policies will prioritize the safety, mobility, and accessibility of all users traveling <br /> on US 70 for work and recreation. <br /> 3.2 Plan Goals <br /> The vision statement will drive policy decisions that shape future development in the US 70 corridor. It will <br /> guide improvement projects that limit motorized congestion and promote transit use while elevating the <br /> accessibility and safety needs of bicyclists and pedestrians.Additionally, improvements will be designed to <br /> enhance community character, facilitate broader employment opportunities, and protect the natural <br /> environment. These community values are captured in the following goals. <br /> 12 Goal-Setting <br />
