<br /> MPO/ Recommendations
<br /> # RPO Project Description/Need
<br /> Staff OUTBoard
<br /> Description: Widen US-70 and improve intersections from Buckhorn Road (SR-1114)to Durham County with NCDOT standard street cross-section 4G (110' row, 17.5' median, 11'travel
<br /> lanes, 5' bike lane, c&g, and sidewalk), add turn lanes and safety improvements at NC-86, St. Mary's Road (SR-1002), Efland Cedar Grove Road (SR-1004), Frazier Road (SR-1310),
<br /> TWTPO/ US-70 Richmond Road (SR-1312), Brookhollow Road (SR-1324), Faucette Mill Road (SR-1328), Miller Road (SR-1555), Lawrence Road (SR-1561), Palmers Grove Church Road (SR-1562),
<br /> 1 BG MPO Improvements Pleasant Green Road (SR-1567), Orange High School Road (SR-1588), and N Scotswood Boulevard (SR-2300). County priority
<br /> Need: This is a major east-west corridor linking Mebane, Hillsborough and Durham through Orange County. Traffic continues increasing with more commuters traveling from Mebane
<br /> and Hillsborough into Durham. Many use this corridor to avoid 1-85. It is also designated at a Strategic Freight Corridor in the DCHC MPO adopted Freight Plan.
<br /> Description: Widen NC 86 from U.S. 70 Bypass to north of NC 57 to four(4) lanes with intersection improvements at U.S. 70 Bypass and NC 57
<br /> NC 86 Need: The segment of NC 86 between NC 57 and U.S. 70 is highly congested. Traffic counts indicate that this segment of NC 86 is over capacity for average annual daily counts.
<br /> 2 TWTPO Improvements Capacity improvements would ease congestion and improve travel time along this primary north-south corridor connectingthe Town of Hillsborough to NC 57 and northern Orange Count priority
<br /> North of p y p g p g p y g g Y p y
<br /> Hillsborough County. Additionally, this area is identified in the Orange County Safe Routes to School Plan and the Town of Hillsborough Connectivity Plan as an area in need of improvements for
<br /> pedestrians, particularly for school age residents of the Fairview neighborhood that walk to Orange High School and Stanford Middle School. The Town of Hillsborough Connectivity Plan
<br /> also calls for bike lanes in this area as well.
<br /> Eno Mountain Description: Realign the intersection of Eno Mountain Road (SR 1148) and Mayo Street (SR 1192)with Orange Grove Road (SR 1006) and make safety improvements.
<br /> 3 TWTPO Road/Mayo Count riorit
<br /> Street at Orange Need: The project would improve safety, reduce travel time, and improve traffic flow between residential and commercial areas in the Town of Hillsborough. Y p Y
<br /> Grove Rd.
<br /> Description: Modify the 1-85/1-40 Connector(SR 1239) interchange at U.S. 70 to provide access from all directions
<br /> U.S. 70 East/1- Need: The project would enable traffic from northwestern Orange County to access 1-85 more easily without risking the many points of traffic conflict through Efland. Traffic has
<br /> 4 TWTPO 85/1-40 increased on Efland-Cedar Grove Road as an alternative to NC 86. Much of that traffic currently"dog-legs"through Efland via Forrest Avenue to Mt. Willing Road to access 1-85/1-40. County priority
<br /> Connector Traffic counts reveal that traffic has increased approximately 40% over the past 10 years on Mt. Willing Road just south of Forrest Avenue, while traffic on U.S. 70 east of Efland-Cedar
<br /> Grove Road has increased only 2%. The project would dramatically improve travel time for traffic from northwestern Orange County to 1-85/1-40 and would dramatically ease congestion
<br /> during peak periods in Efland.
<br /> Description: Modernize Old Greensboro Road (SR-1005)from Jones Ferry Road (SR-1942)to Alamance County with NCDOT standard street cross-section section 2B (60' row, 11'
<br /> travel lanes, with 5' paved shoulder), add turn lanes and safety improvements at Jones Ferry Road (SR-1942), Hatch Road (SR-1944), Neville Road (SR-1945), Carl Durham Road (SR-
<br /> TWTPO/ Old Greensboro 1950), White Cross Road (SR-1951), Wildcat Creek Road (SR-1953), and Orange Chapel Clover Garden Road (SR-1956).
<br /> 5 CPRPO (SR-1005) Road County priority
<br /> Improvement" Need: This project would provide a continuous paved bikeway segment from Carrboro through the southwestern portion of Orange County to connect with other bikeway segments that
<br /> comprise the state's Mountain to Sea bicycle route. The project is not likely to score very high using either the State's highway or bike/pedestrian scoring factors because of its rural
<br /> context and is only eligible for funding at the division tier
<br /> Description: Modernize Dairyland Road (SR-1177)from Orange Grove Road (SR-1006)to Old NC-86 (SR-1009)with NCDOT standard street cross-section section 2B (60' row, 11' travel
<br /> lanes, with 5' paved shoulder), add turn lanes and safety improvements at Orange Grove Road (SR-1006), Dodson Crossroads (SR-1102), Rocky Ridge Road (SR-1113), Bethel
<br /> TWTPO/ Dairyland Road Hickory Grove Church Road (SR-1104) and convert intersection at Old NC-86 (SR-1009)to Roundabout.
<br /> 6 CPRPO (SR-1177) County priority
<br /> Improvement" Need: This project would provide one segment of a bikeway connection through western Orange County from Carrboro to the Buckhorn Road and Mebane area and improve the safety of
<br /> the subject thoroughfare for both bicyclists and motorized vehicular travel. The project is not likely to score very high using the State's bike/pedestrian scoring factors because of its rural
<br /> context and is only eligible for funding in the division tier.
<br /> Description: Modernize Dodson Crossroad (SR-1102)from Orange Grove Road (SR-1006)to NC-54 with NCDOT standard street cross-section section 2B (60' row, 11'travel lanes, with
<br /> Dodson 5' paved shoulder), add turn lanes and safety improvements at Orange Grove Road (SR-1106), Borland Road (SR-1126), Arthur Minnis Road (SR-1115), and Dairyland Road (SR-1177)

<br /> Improvement bikeway facility on Orange Grove Road northward into Hillsborough. The project would also improve safety for motorized vehicular travel on this segment of Orange Grove Road. The
<br /> project is not likely to score very high using the State's bike/pedestrian scoring factors because of its rural context and is only eligible for funding in the division tier.
<br /> Description: Modernize Orange Grove Road (SR-1106)from 1-85 to Dodson Crossroad (SR-1007)with NCDOT standard street cross-section section 2B (60' row, 11' travel lanes, with 5'
