~3 <br />The state agency realized the deep and widespread disdain for the road, Luebke said. <br />"The thing to stress is that once all the sides recognized they had to reach a compromise, things moved <br />very quickly," he said. "The political reality is that environmentalism is extremely strong in Durham <br />County. So, instead pushing for Eno Drive, the Chamber of Commerce focused on what they really <br />needed, which is traffic relief coming out of Person County and Treyburn Corporate Park." <br />The new package of roads addresses those needs, he said. <br />The Revised Northern Durham Parkway would run from U.S. 70 at the Wake County line to Glenn <br />School Road at Interstate 85 and then run northwest along Old Oxford Road and end on the new road <br />just north of Snow Hill Road at Roxboro Road. <br />Eno Drive would have run from near the airport north along U.S. 70 to I-85 at Glenn School Road and <br />then arc west along the Eno River to Guess Road and go perhaps farther west toward Eno River State <br />Park to the Orange County line. <br />The compromise and consensus among the parties also hinged on Mayor Bill Bell's agreeing to a certain <br />order of construction for some local road projects. <br />Opponents of Eno Drive pushed for a project already on the books called the East End Connector. <br />Southern and others said that the connector and improvements to existing roads could substitute for the <br />loop. The connector, which had been on the books for 30 years, became a rallying cry for the opponents. <br />The compromise with Bell states that if the Connector and the upgrade of U.S. 70 were completed first, <br />then opponents of Eno Drive could accept the Revised Northern Durham Parkway. <br />The connector would link U.S. 70 with the Durham Freeway, giving aloop-like effect. The link would <br />give unimpeded access from northern and eastern Durham County to Research Triangle Park and to <br />Orange County along the connected roads. <br />URL for this article: http://www.herald-sun.com/durham/4-340051.htm1 <br />© Copyright 2003.
