65 <br /> US 70 Multimodal Corridor Study <br /> 4.4.5.10 2018 Mebane NIC Railroad Traffic Separation Study <br /> The Mebane Traffic Separation Study (TSS) focuses on eight (8) existing at-grade roadway-railroad crossings <br /> along a 5-mile span through downtown Mebane to determine the need for improvements and/or elimination <br /> of public at-grade crossings to improve safety and mobility for motorists, pedestrians, rail passengers, and <br /> train crews. The TSS evaluated the rail line in Mebane that crosses various streets, as well as any planned or <br /> programmed railroad and roadway improvements within the study area. The relevant recommendations <br /> include: <br /> • Improve pedestrian connectivity between US 70 and Washington Street. <br /> • Establish median and pedestrian refuge island on 5th Street with new crosswalks at 5th Street and <br /> Washington. <br /> • Establish new pedestrian crossings at 1st Street and 2nd Street, including overpass and underpass <br /> options. <br /> 4.4.5.11 2022 Mebane Fifth St. Improvement Impact Study <br /> The City of Mebane analyzed potential traffic impacts of the proposed Fifth Street and Washington Street <br /> Intersection Improvement project.Analysis includes volume development, capacity analysis, safety <br /> assessment, and multimodal evaluation results due to the planned geometrics modifications and resulting <br /> travel pattern changes at the Fifth Street and Washington Street intersection and six other adjacent <br /> intersections, including intersections with Center Street (US 70). Notable findings included new sidewalk <br /> connections at the intersection of Fifth and Jackson. <br /> 4.4.5.12 Hillsborough Comprehensive Sustainability Plan (2023) <br /> This plan guides future development and the transition to 100% clean energy, balancing environmental <br /> stewardship, resiliency, and racial justice with smart growth that will allow for a thriving economy and a great <br /> quality of life for the residents of Hillsborough. <br /> Plan elements focus on community connectivity, future land use, parks and recreation, rail station planning, <br /> corridor planning, and climate action.A major priority for the Town is multimodal connections, for which the <br /> project team has been evaluating opportunities and feasibility with safety and resiliency at top of mind. The <br /> plan elements are listed with in the 8 main chapters:Town Government & Public Services, Land Use & <br /> Development, Environment & Natural Systems, Transportation &Connectivity, Social Systems & Public Space, <br /> Housing &Affordability, Economic Systems &Tourism, and Climate & Energy. <br /> The plan's transportation and connectivity chapter outlines and unifies recommendations listed in the Town's <br /> other controlling plans, with specific future pedestrian and bike facilities. Other key recommendations include <br /> an update of the Town's UDO and Zoning Classifications, as well as an implementation plan for unifying the <br /> other controlling plans within the Town. Any recommendations made within this study are meant to enhance <br /> and compliment those included in this plan. <br /> 4.4.6 System Connectivity <br /> For pedestrian and bicycle travel, the lack of facilities and continuity in the study corridor is a major obstacle, <br /> not only for trips along US 70, but for trips across it. This deficiency also reduces the attractiveness and <br /> effectiveness of transit service in the corridor. <br /> 56 Existing Conditions and Critical Issues <br />
