Attachment 2: Draft Triangle West Transportation Planning Organization (TWTPO) Project List MPO/ Recommendations # RPO Project Description/Need Staff OUTBoard TWTPO/ Description: Intersection and safety improvements along Lebanon Road (SR-1306)from Mill Creek Road (SR-1345)to Efland-Cedar Grove Road (SR-1004) 9 BG MPO Lebanon Road County priority Need: Road continues experiencing increasing traffic and crashes, intersection and safety improvements along the corridor will help provide safe travel for all users. Description: Modernize Old NC-86 (SR-1009)from 1-40 to Eubanks Road (SR-1727)with NCDOT standard street cross-section 2E (60' row, 11' travel lane, 5' bike lane, c&g, and TWTPO/ Old NC-86 (SR- sidewalk), add turn lanes at Davis Road (SR-1129), and New Hope Church Road (SR-1723) 10 1009) County priority CPRPO Need: This project would provide multimodal and safety improvements along anorth-south corridor for commuters travel between Hillsborough and Carrboro. This corridor is growing Improvement** more unsafe with increasing accidents, three of them being fatal. Intersection improvements such as crosswalks and turn lanes will reduce crash frequencies and better manage traffic at key locations along the corridor. Traffic along this corridor will continue increasing making the area more hazardous and will eventually exceed the capacity of the existing road. Description: Improve current Dimmocks Mill Rd (#735154S) grade separation and close Bellvue St (#735152D) rail crossing Dimmocks Mill 11 TWTPO Trestle Need: The NCRR trestle on Dimmock's Mill currently does not allow trucks or pedestrians to safely cross underneath the railroad. By restructuring this trestle and reconfiguring the County priority Improvements intersection, this area will provide a safe crossing between Hillsborough and destinations south for all users. Additionally, improving this trestle will allow large trucks to avoid using Churton Street and will help create a back entrance to West Hillsborough. Description: Improve the current trestle at Exchange Park Lane to accommodate Pedestrian traffic to support a pedestrian link from the proposed train station to downtown Hillsborough. Exchange Park 12 TWTPO Lane Rail Trestle Need: Currently, the NCRR trestle on Exchange Park Lane only accommodates one vehicle at a time and provides no safe accommodations for pedestrians. Once the Hillsborough Train County priority Improvements Station is constructed, Exchange Park Lane will be the only safe pedestrian route from the Train Station to Downtown Hillsborough. With substantial pedestrian demand forecast between the Train Station and Downtown Hillsborough, creating a safe pedestrian environment is a crucial need in this area. Orange Grove Description: Construct one additional lane between Patriot's Pointe Drive and New Grady Brown School Road (SR 1221)to include both pedestrian and bicycle improvements along the Rd. Widening roadway. The 1-40 bridge would be widened to accommodate both pedestrian and bicycle amenities and one additional travel lane. 13 TWTPO with Bicycle and County Priority Pedestrian Need: There are significant safety issues along this stretch of roadway for motorists, but also for pedestrians and bicyclists. Increased traffic along Orange Grove Road has led to a Improvements** significant safety risks for all users of the roadway. Description: Construct a roundabout at the intersection of Old NC 86, Dairyland Road (SR 1004/1113/1177), and Homestead Road (SR 1777) in Calvander outside of Carrboro. 14 TWTPO Calvander County Priority Roundabout Need: Included at the request of the Orange Unified Transportation Board, this project would enhance safety at this intersection and improve traffic flow, while also facilitating a safe left turns for bicyclists. Orange County Description: Provide one (1) bus to serve a new route for Orange Public Transportation providing service to major trip generators in Hillsborough Public 15 TWTPO Transportation Need: This project would provide a fixed route for underserved areas of Orange County(not being covered by the Hillsborough Circulator)to major points of interest such as medical, County Priority Circulator II employment, retail, municipal and social services. The project is currently in the unfunded category of the Orange County Bus and Rail Investment plan, yet remains a priority for our Vehicles County Board of commissioners. It is only eligible for funding at the Division Needs tier. Description: Construct a sidewalk along the west side of Orange High School Road from Harold Latta Road to U.S. 70, construct a sidewalk along the south side of Harold Latta Road Orange High from Cloverfield Drive to Orange Grove Road, install high visibility crosswalks and in-road signage at school entrances and exits on Orange Grove Road, and construct a sidewalk along School entrance roads to CW Stanford Middle School. 16 TWTPO Road/Harold County priority Latta Road Need: Orange High School Road serves two schools north of U.S. 70, Orange High School and CW Stanford Middle School. There are currently no dedicated pedestrian facilities along Sidewalk Orange High School Road to accommodate students accessing the schools from residential areas to the north and east. The project would provide safe and comfortable pedestrian Improvements** connections from these areas to the schools. The Orange County Safe Routes to School Action Plan identifies these sidewalk and crosswalk improvements as central elements in the plan for both Orange High School and CW Stanford Middle School. Description: Construct a pedestrian bridge across 1-85 to connect southern Hillsborough neighborhoods with Collins Ridge, Daniel Boone Village, and Downtown Hillsborough. 1-85 Pedestrian Prohibited by 17 TWTPO Bridge* Need: Neighborhoods to the south of 1-85, such as those along Cates Creek Parkway and Beckett's Ridge Drive, lack pedestrian and bicycle connections to commercial amenities and STI neighborhoods north of the highway. Constructing a bridge across 1-85 would create a safe access point for pedestrians and bicyclists and link areas of Hillsborough south of 1-85 to § 136-189.11 Downtown Hillsborough and commercial amenities along Churton Street. Receiving sidewalks will be present on both sides of the proposed pedestrian bridge. 18 TWTPO NC-10 Description: NC 10 from NC 86 to US 70 Business with NCDOT standard street cross-section 2B (60' row, 11'travel lanes, with 5' paved shoulder), add turn lanes and safety County priority Improvements improvements at Lawrence Road SR-1561 New Hope Church Road SR-1723 , University Station Road SR-1712 , Mt.
