64 <br /> 8.0 Multi-Modal Opportunities <br /> 8.1 Transit <br /> The only transit route in the TIA study area is the Hillsborough Circulator Route, which <br /> connects major origins and destinations throughout Hillsborough with hourly service. <br /> The route travels along US 70 Alt. between NC 86 and Lawrence Road, then proceeds <br /> up Lawrence Road to US 70 to head west back towards the Town. The Route runs <br /> Monday— Friday, from 8 am to 5 pm. Orange County Public Transit Route information is <br /> included in the Appendix. <br /> Possibly this Route could traverse the development in the future adding minimal extra <br /> time to the headways. It could ultimately bring residents to the recreational areas which <br /> would help reduce the traffic impacts. <br /> 8.2 Pedestrian & Bike Facilities <br /> As observed in the data collection, very little pedestrian or bicycle activity was <br /> documented in the counts that occurred during the three peak periods. This is likely due <br /> to the lack of pedestrian or bicycle infrastructure in this portion of the County. No <br /> sidewalks exist on any of the study area roadways. In addition, no bike lanes exist on <br /> these facilities as well. <br /> The development plans to include sidewalks throughout the site that will connect the <br /> different recreational uses allowing visitors and students to walk between portions of the <br /> development. <br />
