ATTACHMENT 3 <br />~~ <br />identified as a need and included in the 2011-20172 STIP. Two segments of this <br />corridor are of particular interest. The first segment is the one. through northern <br />Hillsborough because of the economic development potential of this segment (as <br />referenced in the US 70/Cornelious Street Corridor Strategic Plan) and proximity to <br />C.W. Stanford Middle School and Orange High School. The second segment is the <br />segment through the Eno Economic Development District that includes the <br />interchange of Interstate 85 and US 70. <br />5. NC 86 (North of Hillsborough) Improvements: Widen NC 86, from US 70 Bypass <br />north of Hillsborough to Coleman Loop, SR 1332, (Coleman Loop also being the <br />intersection area of the planned connector between NC 86 and NC 57), to four lanes <br />with intersection improvements at US 70 Bypass to include extending the queuing <br />lane for traffic turning east onto US 70 Bypass from northbound Churton Street/NC <br />86. NC 86 is the major north-south route through Orange County and is designated <br />on the North Carolina Comprehensive Transportation Plan as a strategic corridor. <br />NC 57 converges into US 86 just north of US 70 Bypass. The segment of NC 86 <br />between NC 57 and US 70 is congested,- rendering a high accident location at the <br />intersection of US 70 Bypass at NC 86. <br />6, Tip Project No U 3436 SR 1148 (Eno Mountain Road) and SR 1192 (Mayo Street) <br />at SR 1006 (Orange Grove Road): realign intersection and make safety <br />improvements. This project is listed in the 2009 - 2015 TIP as an unfunded project. <br />The Hillsborough Town Board and Orange County Commissioners have endorsed <br />this project in two joint studies that included commissioners from both jurisdictions. <br />The "EDD Transportation Work Group Recommendations" and the "Access <br />Management and Awareness Project and Report for Orange Grove Road" . <br />recommend this project for improved traffic flow and safety. <br />ORANGE COUNTY RURAL TRANSPORTATION PRIORITIES (OUTSIDE THE MAB) <br />Bicycle and Pedestrian Projects <br />1.
