Resolution to Transportation Advisory Committee 2.. Draft Regional Priority List for 2007-2013 TIP (Excerpts) 3. Letter from NCDOT MPO Coordinator INFORMATION CONTACT: Craig Benedict Ext. 2592 Karen Lincoln Ext. 2594 TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Hillsborough 732-8181 Chapel Hill 968-4501 Durham 688-7331 Mebane (3361227-2031 PURPOSE: To endorse comments to the Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) of the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro (DCHC) Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) regarding the draft regional priority list for the 2007-2013 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). BACKGROUND: The DCHC MPO TAC, at its meeting on August 10, 2005, adopted a provisional regional priority list for the 2007-2013 TIP, with recognition that the priority list may be amended after input from the local jurisdictions. The TAC will consider comments and approve the regional priority list at its next meeting on September 14th. The NCDOT Transportation Improvement Program cycle change, from even numbered years to odd numbered years, has abbreviated the schedule for MPOs to develop regional priority lists. To meet NCDOT schedules for developing the 2007 - 2013 TIP, the TAC released the draft regional priority list for the 21-day public comment period in July, when many local jurisdictions did not hold meetings. The provisional regional priority list (Figure 3 in Attachment 2, pp 27 - 44) reflects each project's priority, with respect to priority projects submitted by all jurisdictions in the MPO, based on the MPO's endorsed ranking system and methodology. The NCDOT considers distribution of funding at the division level. Projects in Durham County (Division 5) and Chatham County (Division 8) should not affect funding decisions for projects in Orange County, which is in Division 7. Figure 5 in Attachment 2, pp 6 - 15, is a subset of the regional list that contains only those projects that are in Orange County.. The ranking methodology (Attachment 2, pp 17 - 22) is only one tool used to produce the final regional priority list. The TAC will consider other criteria, i.e. local government project priorities, public comments and the long-range transportation plan, in developing the final regional priority list. The Board of Commissioners approved its priority list March 15, 2005 (Attachment 2, pp 45 - 48). Two of Orange County's priority projects rank in the top 26 of the 44 projects submitted by Orange County jurisdictions (top 22 of the 87 projects submitted by all local jurisdictions in the MPO). The following lists Orange County's priorities compared to Division 7 and regional priority ranking: Orange Count Priority Division 7 Pr!w? Regional Priority _ 1. Orange Grove Road pedestrian bridge over 1-40 3 9 2. Homestead Road improvements 20 43 3. Improvements to South Churton Street 2 7 4. Old NC 86 bicycle lanes 28 55 5. NC 86 bicycle lanes 20 43 6. NC 86 Improvements north of Hillsborough 44 86 7. US 70 Bypass Widening 43 85 8.. Eno Mountain Rd./Mayo St./Orange Grove Rd. intersection realignment 20 43 9. Orange Grove Rd. extension to US 70 Business 27 53 TAC members may request that the regional priority ranking of a project be switched with the ranking of another project submitted by the same jurisdiction to ensure that the local jurisdiction's priorities are addressed. For example, Orange County may request that bicycle lanes on Old NC 86 (Orange County priority 4, Division 7 priority 28) be moved to Division 7 priority 20 in place of bicycle lanes on NC 86 (Orange County priority 5, Division 7 priority 20) and vice versa. The TAC will also decide the ranking for projects scoring the same number of points, which are all represented having the same rank in the draft regional priority list. For example, three of the 7 projects having a rank of 20 in the Division 7 list (Figure 5) are Orange County priorities. Only one of the seven projects will have a final priority of number 20 (43 in regional list in Figure 3). The other projects having a rank of 20 will take their places from priority 21 to priority 26 (priority 44 to priority 52 in Attachment 2, Figure 3). The attached resolution also addresses TIP Project 1-0305, widening of 1-85 from 1-40 to the Orange/Durham County Line. The NCDOT MPO Coordinator has asked the Lead Planning Agency to rate that project using the ranking criteria used for other projects in the regional priority list, and to include it in the final draft priority list that will be considered by the TAC, "because of the project's importance to the Department" (Attachment 3, letter from Michael Orr). The TAC, at its meeting on August 10, 2005, adopted a Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) for FY 2006-2012 that was different from the 2006-2012 STIP recently approved by NCDOT. One of the differences concerned the description of Project 1-0305. The TAC approved the description only "to reconstruct interchanges and structures". Attachment 3 gives reasons to reinstate the project description that includes widening 1-85 to six lanes in the 2007-2013 TIP. Orange County has previously submitted comments regarding other features desired by the County as part of the project. Those comments are included in the attached resolution. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with this item. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board endorse comments to the Transportation Advisory Committee of the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization regarding the draft Regional Priority List for the 2007 -2013 Transportation Improvement Program. 2 ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS A RESOLUTION TO SUBMIT COMMENTS TO THE TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE (TAC) OF THE DURHAM-CHAPEL HILL-CARRBORO (DCHC) METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION (MPO) CONCERNING ORANGE COUNTY'S TRANSPORTATION PRIORITIES FOR THE REGIONAL PRIORITY LIST FOR THE 2007 - 2013 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM WHEREAS, the North Carolina Board of Transportation, every two years, prepares a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) that identifies transportation projects scheduled for State and Federal funding over the next seven years; and WHEREAS, the North Carolina Board of Transportation solicits input for identifying transportation projects of local and regional importance to be included in the FY 2007-2013 Transportation Improvement Program; and WHEREAS, the TAC of the DCHC MPO has adopted, in compliance with federal requirements, a methodology for ranking TIP projects based on local and metropolitan goals addressing mobility, environment and air quality; and WHEREAS, Orange County has submitted to the DCHC MPO a prioritized list of transportation projects representing transportation needs in the County, and WHEREAS, the quantitative ranking methodology cannot adequately represent the local priority of all proposed projects for the 2007 - 2013 TIP; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Orange County Board of Commissioners that the DCHC MPO Regional Priority List for the FY 2007-2013 Transportation Improvement Program should reflect the priority of Orange County's projects as follows: 1, Orange Grove Road (SR 1006) Pedestrian Bridge over 1-40 should be Division 7 Priority number 2 (Regional Priority 7 or 8); 2. South Churton Street (SR1009) Improvements should be Division 7 Priority 3 or 4 (Regional Priority number 7 or 8); 3 U-2808, Homestead Road (SR 1777) Improvements should be Division 7 Priority number 20 (Regional Priority number 43); 4. Old NC 86 Bike Lanes should take the priority ranking of U-3436 - Eno Mountain Road (SR 1148)/Mayo Street (SR 1192)/Orange Grove Road (SR1006) Intersection Realignment, one of six projects having a Division Priority ranking of 20 (Regional Priority ranking 43); 5, NC 86 Improvements north of Hillsborough and Orange Grove Road Extension to US 70 Business should be switched in ranking to reflect NC 86 Improvements as Division 7 Priority 27 (Regional Priority ranking 53) and Orange Grove Road Extension as Division 7 Priority 44 (Regional Priority 86); 6. US 70 Bypass Widening should be one of the 11 projects having a Division 7 Priority ranking of 28 (Regional Priority ranking of 55); 7 Eno Mountain Road (SR 1148)/Mayo Street (SR 1192)/Orange Grove Road (SR1006) Intersection Realignment should be Division 7 Priority 43 (Regional Priority 85); BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Orange County recognizes 1-85 as an important link in the local, regional, and national highway network, and endorses TIP Project 1-0305 to widen 1-85 in Orange County from 1-40 to the Orange/Durham County Line, with the following comment requesting that NCDOT: 4 1. Provide permanent erosion control measures throughout the project; 2. Landscape all reconstructed interchanges in an aesthetic manner; 3. Provide, in consultation with county staff, sidewalks and bike lanes along roads where interchange improvements are required, and to include adequate guardrails on overpasses; 4.. Widen the overpass on NC 86 to accommodate increased traffic volumes resulting from recent development in the adjacent Economic Development District; 5. Realign the intersection of Pleasant Green Road (SR 1567) & Mt. Herman Church Road (SR 1713) so that Pleasant Green Road intersects US 70 at a 90-degree angle (NCDOT Division 7 Traffic Engineers have recommended that this intersection be included as a part of 1-0305 because of its proximity to the I-85/US 70 interchange.); 6. Upgrade US 70 from NC 751 to University Station Road (SR 1712) to provide for a suitable transition from/to 1-85; 7. Provide 12' wide travel lanes and 4' wide bicycle lanes for a total paved width of 32' for any roads that may be relocated as part of the project (Mt. Herman Church Road, SR 1713 and Old NC 10, SR 1710); and 8. Consult with county staff during the design stage to ensure that the improvements will accommodate: a. the proposed construction of a wildlife corridor under 1-85 in the vicinity of the US 70 Interchange, as recommended in the "The New Hope Corridor Open Space Master Plan: Proposals for Linking Duke Forest and Eno River State Park"; and b. a pedestrian trail under 1-85 linking New Hope Creek and the Eno River (New Hope Rustic Woodland Trail proposed as an element of the Lands Legacy Program). Upon motion of Commissioner , seconded by Commissioner the foregoing resolution was adopted this the day of , 2005 I, Donna Baker, Clerk to the Board of Commissioners for the County of Orange, North Carolina, DO HEREBY CERTIFY that the foregoing is a true copy of so much of the proceedings of said Board at a meeting held on March 15, 2005, as relates in any way to the adoption of the foregoing and that said proceedings are recorded in the minutes of said Board. WITNESS my hand and the seal of said County, this day of , 2005, Clerk to the Board of Commissioners ATTACHMENT2 5 Purpose and Goal The Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro (DCHC) Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is committed to a balanced transportation system within the urban area and the region that facilitates safe and efficient movement of people and goods. This balanced transportation system will provide opportunities for greater use of alternative modes of transportation, including public transportation, bicycling, and pedestrian movement. Transportation Demand Management programs and land use policies that reduce use of single occupant vehicles and promote transportation choices are also important elements of this regional transportation policy. In the past, the governing board of the DC.HC. MPO, the Transportation Advisory Committee, has stated a goal for the Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP): "Maintain and improve the quality of metropolitan area transportation systems while striving to have a safe, efficient and balanced transportation system. Balanced transportation promotes mobility, integration of land use, and minimizes negative impacts on the environment." The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is a seven-year funding document for highway, public transportation, bicycle, pedestrian, and rail projects. Projects must be in the TIP in order to receive State or federal funding. Every two years, the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro (DCHC) Metropolitan Planning Organization WO) works with local citizens, government officials, elected officials, and the North Carolina Department of Transportation to develop a Metropoli tan Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) that is eventually adopted as part of the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). To begin the TIP development process, the MPO develops a Regional Priority List to communicate the MPO's project priorities to the NCDOT. Development of Regional Priority List The development of the Regional Priority List has several principal steps: 1. The DCHC MPO Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) will review the currently adopted methodology for ranking transportation projects, and make changes, as desired. 2. Local governments and transit systems develop a list of local transportation priorities based on a comparison of local needs and the projects that are already funded in the preceding Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). 3. The MPO consolidates the local lists into a single regional list and uses the currently adopted methodology for ranking the projects in the regional list. 4, The MPO conducts a 21-day public involvement process that includes publishing the regional priority list (which has the projects ranked by the ranking methodology), conducting a public hearing (scheduled for August 10, 2005), and providing ample opportunities for the public to provide comments. 5 The TAC makes the final changes to the Regional Priority List, and the List is officially provided to the NCDOT.

The Transportation Equity Act for the 2151 Century (TEA 21) calls for a TIP development process that documents a methodology for ranking project requests, reflects local and metropolitan goals, and addresses mobility, environmental and air quality goals. OBJECTIVE The methodology outlined below is designed to address multi-modal transportation needs and to ensure regional balance through the use of specific technical criteria.. The Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC) will use the methodology to develop a draft Regional Priority List. This draft Priority List is to be used as a starting point or a reference base by the transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) for the approval of a final Regional Priority List.. al The TAC ma reorder roiects at its discretion to promote. jurisdictional and geographic balance or based upon the TAC members' knowledge of the urban area and the policies of their communities. Therefore, the TCC will make its technical recommendation on a draft Priority List based on the methodology described in this document, and the TAC will then be afforded the opportunity to make any changes it deems appropriate. METHODOLOGY GOALS • Produce a program of projects (or project priorities) which satisfies MPO, local and State goals, and addresses TEA 21 policies of system preservation, operational efficiency in the movement of people and goods, multi/inter-modalism, and air quality mandates. • Address projects on equal footing, regardless of mode or project type. • Be simple enough for project-level analysis without requiring unnecessary data collection. • Be understandable by the general public. PROCEDURE FOR RANKING PROJECTS 1 Goal Setting For Project Priority List The TAC will formulate an overall goal or set of goals for the Regional Priority List. The annual goal setting should reflect the TIP Preamble adopted by the TAC. It states that the Page 32 DCHC MPO - Regional Priority List for FY 2007-2013 MTIP ATTACHMENT 2 18 DCHC urban area "is committed to developing a balanced transportation system within the region." The MPO should begin the annual TIP process with goal setting, which could merely be a reaffinnation of previous goals or development of new goals arising out of the Transportation Plan. This annual goal setting will ensure that any change in "need" can be captured in the TIP goals. 2. Ranking Criteria The Screening criteria for project ranking fall into four broad groups: a. Regional Goals - How well does the project meet the adopted regional goals? Is the project an element of the current long-range plan? Does it implement community objectives (for the intrastate system, does it meet NCDOT mobility objectives)? Does the project have abroad base of local support? b. Cost Effectiveness -How much benefit does the project offer compared to the estimated cost? c. Timing Factor -Is timing a critical element for the project (one-time opportunity)? Will the opportunity to do the project be lost if it is not in the current priority cycle? d. Specific Project Merits -How many points does a project receive using scoring criteria? The scoring criteria are described below in the "Application of The Methodology" section.. APPLICATION OF THE METHODOLOGY 1. The TCC first examines the consistency in which local jurisdictions have responded to the ten (10) project criteria. If the criteria are not applied consistently, the TCC can agree to change some criteria responses for consistency among all projects. 2 Project Criteria Points are totaled for each project request using the point system outlined on pages 5 and 6 of this document. Degree of Congestion - This category awards points to roadway projects base on the congestion level as measured in the volume to capacity (V/C) ratio. For new road facilities in which traffic counts are not available, volumes on a parallel existing facility may be used,. Safety (Accidents/l 00 Million Vehicle Miles) - Safety points are awarded to projects with reported accident rates significantly greater than statewide averages for urban road segments - the statewide average is 330 to 370 accidents per 100 million vehicle miles (or, 330-370 ACC/100 MVM).. Points may be awarded to transit, non-motorized and Transportation Demand Management (TDA) projects using the accident rate of the roadway on which they operate, or of a parallel roadway, For bicycle and pedestrian projects, auto accidents may be used if bike/pedestrian features are being added to an Page 33 DCHC MPO -Regional Priority List for FY 2007-2013 MTIP ATTACHMENT2 existing facility or if the bicycle/pedestrian facility on new location will take bike/pedestrian traffic off an existing parallel road. Coordinate with National Highway System - Points are awarded for this item if the project is part of the existing or future National Highway System (NHS) or an intermodal facility on an NHS route. Reduces Use of Single Occupant Vehicles - Points are awarded for this category if the project is a bike, pedestrian, transit or High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) project. Conventional roadway projects do not qualify. Expands Transportation Choices - Points are awarded for roadway projects that provide each of the following alternative modes: 1) transit; 2) bicycle; and, 3) pedestrian. Addresses Air Quality Concerns - Points are awarded for this item based on the gross reduction of vehicle miles traveled (VMT), Standard VMT formulas for the different travel modes will be used to calculate VMT reductions. Has Minimal Impacts on the Natural Enviromnent - Points are awarded if the transportation project does not expand into or adversely affect documented environmentally sensitive areas. Encourages Economic Development - Points are awarded for this item if the primary or secondary purpose of the project is economic development or redevelopment. Adverse bnpacts Do Not Disproportionately Affect Low Income Populations - Points are awarded if the project directly supports low-income groups or does not adversely affect low income groups in a disproportionate manner. This item is designed to penalize projects that may have negative impacts on low income areas or federally recognized disadvantaged groups. Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Status - Points are awarded to projects based on the percentage of the total project cost that is funded in the currently adopted Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), or if the project has postyear status in the TIP. Transit projects listed in the TIP as "unfunded" receive 10 points.. 3. Projects receiving the same number of project criteria points are ordered by generally giving priority to projects included in last year's Regional Priority List. A lower priority is given to new project requests with the same number of criteria points. 4. When the resulting order of the projects with the same number of criteria points is inconsistent with the order of local priorities, the projects may be reordered. 19 5. The Draft Regional Priority List is created by drawing projects from each of the enhancement, highway, and transit category lists. Projects with the highest number of project criteria points are selected first - taking into consideration local priority rankings, geographical balance, and a mixture of project types. Page 34 DCHC MPO - Regional Priority List for FY 2007-2013 MTIP ATTACHMENT2 6. The draft priority list is then forwarded to the TAC, as the TLC's recommended project priorities for the urban area. OBSERVATIONS The order of transit priorities could vary significantly from year to year if anticipated funding sources are reduced or eliminated by Congress. 20 • Mandates (e.g., the American's with Disabilities Act) may take precedence when programming projects from the Regional Priority List in the TIP. • The fiscal constraints of programming projects in the TIP may result in the programming of less expensive, lower ranked projects. • Some lower ranking projects maybe implemented earlier than a higher ranked, large project due to the time constraints associated with a more complex project (i.e, major investment studies, preparing environmental documents, designing the project, right-of way acquisition, etc,). • The significance of ranking more than 25 projects is minimal, at best due to the availability of project funds, DCHG MPO - Regional Priority List for FY 2007-2013 MTIP ' °y" "" ATTACHMENT2 21 ,vw,vvl w o,???,??? -.?==v-°• 001 to 4,000,000 VIvIT/ ear 2,000, L 100,000 to 2,000,000 VMT/ ear 34PRF! an l OD,000 VMT/year D DCNC MPO -Regional Priority list for FY 2007-2013 MTIP Page 36 ATTACHMENT2 7 Has Minimal In: acts on the Natural Enviroznneut Does not extend into, nor adversely impact, documented environmentally sensitive 10 areas but does not adversely impact, documented environmentally sensitive Extends into , 5 areas Extends into and adversel im acts documented environmentally sensitive area 0 8 Encourages Economic Develo meat Pr' ose is economic develo went or redevelo ment 10 Second ose is economic develo went or redevelo went 5 No roiect u ose is economic develo went or redevelo -- 0 Adverse Impacts Do Not Disproportionately Affect Low-Income 9 Po ulations Directly so orts low-income grou s 10 5 Does not adversely impact low-income ou s dis ro ort onately Adversely impact low-income groups disproportionately 0 l0 Funding Status in TIP Partially-funded in current TIP cycle (over 50% of total construction & ROW cost), or Transit project listed as "unfunded" in TIP 10 Partially-funded in current TIP cycle (26% to 50% of total construction & ROW cost) 7 Partially-funded in current TIP cycle (5% to 25% of total construction & ROW cost) 5 Post year (construction & ROW) 3 Not programmed in TIP 0 22 DCHC MPO - Regional Priority List for FY 2007-2013 MTIP ' °Y6 "' ATTACHMENT2 Section 4, which contains reference documents, provides detailed definitions and directions for applying the ranking methodology. It is important to note that the ranking methodology continues to be more fully developed and refined with each TIP development cycle. The MPO is developing new data sources in related planning projects, such as the congestion management system, that will improve the data and application of the ranking criteria. Ranking Results Compared to Local Priorities 23 It is important to remember that the ranking methodology is only one of several tools used to produce the final Regional Priority List. The local governments have provided local priority lists that must be considered, as well. It is the prerogative of the TAC to review the project ranking, local priority lists, public comments, long-range transportation plan, and other valuable input in order to produce the final Regional Priority List. To begin this review, the TAC will likely compare the ranking results with local priority lists to identify those projects that are highly ranked on the local project lists but are not highly ranked using the ranking methodology. Figure 2 provides this comparison. The second column in the table below, titled "Local Priority Ranking," shows project ranking by jurisdiction. The third column, titled "Order in Ranking Methodology," shows ranking by criteria methodology.

SR 1006 Orange Grove Road, at Interstate 40: Construct a pedestrian bridge over I-40. New Grady Brown Elementary and newly constructed Cedar Ridge High School are located on New Grady Brown School Road that has access from Orange Grove Road south of I-40. The schools are within walking and cycling distance from residential areas north of I-40. Bicyclists and pedestrian must share the roadway with motor vehicles crossing the narrow two-lane bridge that carries Orange Grove Road over Interstate 40. The bridge is too narrow to accommodate a pedestrian walkway. Lack of an adequate pedestrian crossing presents air unsafe environment for students to walk to the schools. 2. U-2805 Homestead Road (SR 1777) Improvements; Improve Homestead Road from SR 1834, High School Road, to NC 86. This project should include bicycle and pedestrian facilities. There are three schools in the vicinity of Homestead Road: Chapel Hill High School, Smith Middle School and Seawell Elementary School. Many students live within walking distance and cycling distance to Chapel Hill High School and must walk or cycle along Homestead Road, and cross the road daily. Provision of sidewalks is of utmost importance for the safety of'students and other pedestrians who use this corridor. Provision of'bicycle facilities is, likewise, necessary for the safety of students and others, This project should also include appropriate safety improvements to the intersection of Homestead Road with High School Road. 3. R-2825 Improvements to South C111111011.3 treet: Develop congestion management, limited access, aesthetic and capacity improvements between US 70 Business and Interstate 40, The portion between Interstates 40 and 85 will conform to the design criteria of the Economic Development District Design Manual (4-lane divided section with bike and pedestrian improvements). The feasibility study completed in February 2002 recommends a 4-lane divided, with 16-foot median, curb and gutter cross section for the entire corridor from I-40 to Eno River. Orange County stresses the need to study improvements within the current right-of-way for the segment north of Interstate 85. Improved capacity through widening is not the County's first choice because of significant constraints between Interstate 85 and US 70 Business and the proximity of the historic district north of the project limits. Orange County requests that, where conditions do not prevent the addition of frontage roads, the feasibility study include the addition of frontage roads with limited access from the corridor. 4. Old NC 86 (SR 1009) Bicycle Lanes: Construct bicycle lanes (4-foot paved shoulders) from Carrboro (Eubanks Road) to Hillsborough (I-40). This project, from the Cai7boro Transition area (Hickory Forest Road) to Lafayette Drive, is priority 6 of the primary bicycle routes listed in the Orange County Bicycle Transportation Plan, and would extend bicycle accommodations requested in TIP Project R-2825 to Carrboro, where its Transportation Advisory Committee has also established bicycle routes on Old NC 86 as a transportation DCHC MPO - Regional Priority List for FY 2007-2013 MTIP Page 61 ATTACHMENT 2 47 priority connection between proposed bicycle facilities along Old Fayetteville Road, Homestead Road and Eubanks Road. The feasibility study for TIP Project R-2825, improvements to South Churton Street, recommends a four-lane divided section for Old NC 86 (S. Churton St.) from I-40 to Lafayette Drive. That study also anticipates accommodations for bicycles (wide outside lanes) from I-40 to I-85. This project would connect bicycle facilities proposed in the South Churton Street project to Carrboro. Canboro's Priority List for the 2006-2012 TIP included two bicycle projects on Old NC 86 that, along with this request and TIP project R-2825, would complete a Hillsborough-Carrboro bicycle route: • from Old Fayetteville Road to Homestead Road; and • from Homestead Road to Eubanks Road, 5. NC 86, Bicycle Lanes: Construct bicycle lanes (4-foot paved shoulders) from Chapel Hill (Whitfield Road) to Hillsborough (US 70 Business). This project will extend bicycle lanes on Airport Road (NC86) in Chapel Hill to US 70 Business in Hillsborough. Bicycle lanes have recently been completed along NC 86 from UNC to Whitfield Road (SR 1731) in Orange County. NC 86 from Chapel Hill to Hillsborough is experiencing increasing numbers of bicyclists using this route and there are also two schools along this route. This route is listed as priority I of the primary bicycle routes proposed in the Orange County Bicycle Transportation Plan adopted April 6, 1999. This project is included in the Bicycle Program as an incidental need. Orange County requests that bicycle lanes be constructed as an independent project, and, if necessary, programmed in phases. 6. NC 86 (North of Hillsborough) Improvements: Widen NC 86, from US 70 Bypass north of Hillsborough to SR 1332, Coleman Loop (Coleman Loop also being the intersection area of the planned connector between NC 86 and NC 57), to four lanes with intersection improvements at US 70 Bypass to include extending the queuing lane for traffic turning east onto US 70 Bypass from northbound Churton Street/NC 86. NC 86 is the major north-south route through Orange County. NC 57 converges into US 86 just north of US 70 Bypass.. The segment of NC 86 between NC 57 and US 70 is congested, rendering a high accident location at the intersection of US 70 Bypass at NC 86. 7. US 70 Bypass Widening: Widen, from the Orange/Durham County Line to the US 70 - I-85 Connector east of Efland, US 70 Bypass to a four-lane divided section with bike and pedestrian improvements. This project should be phased to address traffic counts and existing congestion. Orange County requests that this project be identified as a need and included in the 2006-2012 STIP. 8. U-3436, SR 1148 (Eno Mountain Road) and SR 1192 (Mayo Street) at SR 1006 (Orange Grove Road): realign intersection and make safety improvements. This protect is listed in the 2004 - 2010 TIP as an unfunded project. It was a "first priority project" in the Town of Hillsborough Thoroughfare Plan for 1989 but the Hillsborough Town Board removed the realignment from the Hillsborough Transportation Plan in 1997. More recently, Hillsborough Commissioners and Orange County Commissioners have endorsed the project DCHC MPO - Regional Priority List for FY 2007-2013 MTIP Page 62 ATTACHMENT 2 48 in two.joint studies that included commissioners from both jurisdictions, the Economic Development District (EDD) Transportation Work Group and the Joint Orange Grove Road Transportation Group (JOGRTG). Both the "EDD Transportation Work Group Recommendations" and the "Access Management and Awareness Project and Report for Orange Grove Road" recommend this project for improved traffic flow and safety. Extend Orange Grove Road east to US 70 business. The "EDD Transportation Work Group Recommendations" and the "Access Management and Awareness Project and Report for Orange (wove Road" recommend this project as an alternative access to the US 70 Business/NC 86 corridor to alleviate congestion on Churton Street.

EASLEY SECRETARY GOVERNOR August 15, 2005 Felix Nwoko, Administrator Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro MPO 101 City Hall Plaza Durham, NC 27701 RE: Draft Regional Priority List for the FY 2007-13 TIP Dear Felix: Project 1-0305 (I-85 widening from I-40 to the Durham County line) does not appear to be included in the draft priority list. Because of the project's importance to the Department, it is requested that MPO staff rate the project and include it in the final draft priority list for consideration by the TAC during its meeting on September 14, 2005. Project 1-0305 has consistently appeared in local and regional transportation plans for over ten years. The project is recommended as an 8-lane facility in the Orange CCounty ounty por ou hofar the Plan Study Report (1990), which is the most recent plan for the Orange MPO. Project 1-305 is cited in the Transportation Plan for the Tow'dn constru b o o in the DCHC and The project was programmed for planning, design, right-of-way, Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Plan for FY 2004-2010. Widening 1-85 to six lanes in the project area was included in the 2025 Long Range Transportation Plan of the DCHC-MPO, and is included in the 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan of the DCHC-MPO.. Because of the current debate within the MPO on the need and the priority for the project, I want to take the opportunity to explain why Project 1-305 is important to the Department and to provide data to help you rate the project for the priority list. HILT way System Connections 1-85 serves as an important link in the local, regional, and national and highway network. I-85 provides major travel service within and through the Durham urban area. 1-85 is also part of the National Highway System and is heavily used by automobile and truck (freight) traffic because it provides direct connections between many major urban areas in Greensboro, and Charlotte, the Southern United States: Richmond-Petersburg, Virginia; Durham, orth Atlanta, Ge 1-85 p ovides linkages to I-40 an I-20, both important transcontinental route orgia. Furthermore, Relieve Future Congestion Daily traffic volume for the year 2030 is estimated to range from 78,200 at the west end of the project to 97,200 at the east end of the project..
