30 <br /> US 70 Multimodal Corridor Study <br /> 4.1.3 Relevant Plans <br /> 4.1.3.1 2014 Orange County Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan 2030 <br /> The Orange County Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Master Plan identifies facilities, parks, and trails for <br /> expansion, improvement, and creation across Orange County by 2030. Key recommendations include: <br /> • A proposed segment of the MST is planned to cross the study corridor at the confluence of Cane <br /> Creek and the Haw River. <br /> • The Orange County trail segment is planned to parallel Cane Creek north from the Alamance County <br /> line to the Town of Hillsborough where the trail follows the Eno River westward. <br /> • The plan recommends that the county and other stakeholders develop a master plan to facilitate the <br /> completion of the trail segment and consider the location of a node or way station on county or <br /> OWASA land to provide basic hiking services. <br /> 4.1.3.2 A Landscape Plan for Wildlife Habitat Connectivity in the Eno River and New Hope Creek <br /> Watersheds (2019) <br /> Recognizing that the Eno River and New Hope Creek-Jordan Lake watersheds are home to ecologically <br /> important habitats supporting a rich diversity of plant and animal species, this plan identifies actions to <br /> preserve and enhance connectivity within and between wildlife habitats. Development and climate change <br /> cause habitat fragmentation and loss.To survive, animal species must be able to move within and between <br /> remaining high-priority wildlife habitats. Functional ecosystems require a connected network of habitats and <br /> corridors for movement. In addition to sustaining diverse wildlife populations, such connections can benefit <br /> water quality, native plants, working farms and forests, and public health and safety. <br /> This plan helps ensure wildlife habitat connectivity throughout the Eno River and New Hope Creek-Jordan <br /> Lake watersheds. The objectives most relevant to the US 70 Corridor Study involve guidance for decision- <br /> making related to land protection, land-use, and transportation. Three basic principles associated with this <br /> effort are: <br /> • Protect conservation priorities, including large natural areas and sensitive habitats. <br /> • Buffer these areas from suburban and urban development. <br /> • Connect these natural areas across the landscape to reduce habitat fragmentation. <br /> 4.1.3.3 2019 Eno New Hope Plan <br /> The goal of this project is to provide an actionable plan for ensuring wildlife habitat connectivity across the <br /> landscape of the Eno River and New Hope Creek-Jordan Lake watersheds through minimizing the impacts <br /> from future land uses changes. <br /> Recommendations relevant to US 70 include encouraging the redesign of the I-85/US 70 to incorporate <br /> bridge designs that allow wildlife to cross safely under the bridge and that allow pedestrian passage along <br /> any existing or planned trail-system connectors. <br /> 4.1.3.4 2022 Bringing Eno River State Park to Downtown Hillsborough <br /> This project aims to acquire a group of parcels located near downtown between US 70 and 70A as park space. <br /> The collection of parcels makes up over 200 acres of preserved open space to be added to the Eno River State <br /> 21 Existing Conditions and Critical Issues <br />
