9 Executive Summary I Jauary of 2011, the Trasportatio Plaig Brach of the North Carolia Departmet of Trasportatio ad Vace Couty iitiated a study to cooperatively develop the Vace Couty Comprehesive Trasportatio Pla (CTP), which icludes the city of Hederso, the tow of Kittrell ad the tow of Middleburg. This is a log rage multi-modal trasportatio pla that covers trasportatio eeds through Modes of trasportatio evaluated as part of this pla iclude: highway, public trasportatio ad rail, bicycle, ad pedestria. This pla does ot cover stadard bridge replacemets, routie maiteace, or mior operatios issues. Refer to Appedix A for cotact iformatio o these types of issues. Fidigs of this CTP study were based o a aalysis of the trasportatio system, evirometal screeig, ad public iput. Refer to Figure 1 for the CTP maps, which were mutually edorsed/adopted i Implemetatio of the pla is the resposibility of Vace Couty, the city of Hederso, the tow of Kittrell, the tow of Middleburg, ad NCDOT. Refer to Chapter 2 for iformatio o the implemetatio process. This report documets the recommedatios for improvemets that are icluded i the Vace Couty CTP. The major recommedatios for improvemets are listed below. More detailed iformatio about these ad other recommedatios ca be foud i Chapter 2. I-85: Wide to a 6-lae divided freeway from the Graville Couty Lie to the Warre Couty Lie. US 1: Wide to a 4-lae divided freeway from the Frakli Couty Lie to Beechtree Trail Road (SR 1104). Provide a 4-lae divided wester bypass freeway facility from Beechtree Trail Road (SR 1104) to US 1 Busiess with a grade separatio at Kittrell College Road (SR 1105) ad iterchages to tie ito the existig route. Provide a 4- lae divided freeway from US 1 Busiess to US 1 Busiess with a grade separatio at South Lake Lodges Road (SR 1113). US 1 Busiess (TIP Project R-2503): Upgrade to a 4-lae other major thoroughfare from Peter Gill Road (SR 1548) to US 158 Busiess. US 158 Bypass: Upgrade to a 2-3 lae other major thoroughfare with ceter tur lae where ecessary from Poplar Creek Road to I-85. NC 39: Wide to a 2-lae road with a 24 foot cross-sectio to a 4-lae divided boulevard from Frakli Couty to Stagecoach Road (SR 1329). Dabey Drive (SR 1162): Exted Corbitt Road to provide a oe-way pair facility from US 158 Busiess to Cooper Drive. Upgrade to a 4-lae divided boulevard facility from Cooper Drive to US 158 Bypass. i

33 I. Aalysis of the Existig ad Future Trasportatio System A Comprehesive Trasportatio Pla (CTP) is developed to esure that the progressively developed trasportatio system will meet the eeds of the regio for the plaig period. The CTP serves as a official guide to providig a well-coordiated, efficiet, ad ecoomical trasportatio system for the future of the regio. This documet should be utilized by the local officials to esure that plaed trasportatio facilities reflect the eeds of the public, while miimizig the disruptio to local residets, busiesses ad evirometal resources. I order to develop a CTP, the followig are cosidered: Aalysis of the trasportatio system, icludig ay local ad statewide iitiatives; Impacts to the atural ad huma eviromet, icludig atural resources, historic resources, homes, ad busiesses; Public iput, icludig commuity visio ad goals ad objectives. Aalysis Methodology ad Data Requiremets Reliable forecasts of future travel patters must be estimated i order to aalyze the ability of the trasportatio system to meet future travel demad. These forecasts deped o careful aalysis of the character ad itesity of existig ad future lad use ad travel patters. A aalysis of the trasportatio system looks at both curret ad future travel patters ad idetifies existig ad aticipated deficiecies. This is usually accomplished through a capacity deficiecy aalysis, a traffic crash aalysis, ad a system deficiecy aalysis. This iformatio, alog with populatio growth, ecoomic developmet potetial, ad lad use treds, is used to determie the potetial impacts o the future trasportatio system. Roadway System Aalysis A importat stage i the developmet of a CTP is the aalysis of the existig trasportatio system ad its ability to serve the area s travel desires. Emphasis is placed ot oly o detectig the existig deficiecies, but also o uderstadig the causes of these deficiecies. Roadway deficiecies may result from iadequacies such as pavemet widths, itersectio geometry, ad itersectio cotrols; or system problems, such as the eed to costruct missig travel liks, bypass routes, loop facilities, additioal radial routes or ifrastructure improvemets to meet statewide iitiatives. Oe of those statewide iitiatives is the Strategic Highway Corridor (SHC) Visio Pla adopted by the Board of Trasportatio o September 2, 2004 ad last revised o July I-1

34 10, The SHC cocept represets a timely iitiative to protect ad maximize the mobility ad coectivity o a core set of highway corridors throughout North Carolia, while promotig evirometal stewardship through maximizig the use of existig facilities to the extet possible, ad fosterig ecoomic prosperity through the quick ad efficiet movemet of people ad goods. The primary purpose of the SHC cocept is to provide a etwork of high-speed, safe, reliable highways throughout North Carolia. The primary goal to support this purpose is to create a greater cosesus towards the developmet of a geuie visio for each Corridor specifically towards the idetificatio of a desired facility type (Freeway, Expressway, Boulevard, or Thoroughfare) for each corridor. Idividual Comprehesive Trasportatio Plas shall icorporate the log-term visio of each corridor. Refer to Appedix A for cotact iformatio. I the developmet of this pla, travel demad was projected from 2007 to 2035 usig a tred lie aalysis based o Aual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) from 1991 to I additio, local lad use plas ad growth expectatios were used to further refie future growth rates ad patters. The established future growth rates were edorsed by the Vace Couty CTP Committee (April 19, 2011). Existig ad future travel demad is compared to existig roadway capacities. Capacity deficiecies occur whe the traffic volume of a roadway exceeds the roadway s capacity. Roadways are cosidered ear capacity whe the traffic volume is at least eighty percet of the capacity. Refer to Figure 2 ad 3 for existig ad future capacity deficiecies. Capacity is the maximum umber of vehicles which have a reasoable expectatio of passig over a give sectio of roadway, durig a give time period uder prevailig roadway ad traffic coditios. May factors cotribute to the capacity of a roadway icludig the followig: Geometry of the road (icludig umber of laes), horizotal ad vertical aligmet, ad proximity of perceived obstructios to safe travel alog the road; Typical users of the road, such as commuters, recreatioal travelers, ad truck traffic; Access cotrol, icludig streets ad driveways, or lack thereof, alog the roadway; Developmet alog the road, icludig residetial, commercial, agricultural, ad idustrial developmets; Number of traffic sigals alog the route; Peakig characteristics of the traffic o the road; Characteristics of side-roads feedig ito the road; ad I-2

35 Directioal split of traffic or the percetages of vehicles travelig i each directio alog a road at ay give time. The relatioship of travel demad compared to the roadway capacity determies the level of service (LOS) of a roadway. Six levels of service idetify the rage of possible coditios. Desigatios rage from LOS A, which represets the best operatig coditios, to LOS F, which represets the worst operatig coditios. LOS D idicates practical capacity of a roadway, or the capacity at which the public begis to express dissatisfactio. The practical capacity for each roadway was developed based o the 2000 Highway Capacity Maual usig the NCLOS Program.

45 Bridge Deficiecy Assessmet Bridges are a vital ad uique elemet of a highway system. First, they represet the highest uit ivestmet of all elemets of the system. Secod, ay iadequacy or deficiecy i a bridge reduces the value of the total ivestmet. Third, a bridge presets the greatest opportuity of all potetial highway failures for disruptio of commuity welfare. Fially, ad most importatly, a bridge represets the greatest opportuity of all highway failures for loss of life. For these reasos, it is imperative that bridges be costructed to the same desig stadards as the system of which they are a part. The NCDOT Structures Maiteace Uit ispects all bridges i North Carolia at least oce every two years. Bridges havig the highest priority are replaced as Federal ad State fuds become available. 27 deficiet bridges were idetified withi the plaig area ad are illustrated i Figure 6. Refer to Appedix G for more detailed iformatio. Public Trasportatio ad Rail Public trasportatio ad rail are vital modes of trasportatio that give alterative optios for trasportig people ad goods from oe place to aother. Public Trasportatio North Carolia's public trasportatio systems serve more tha 50 millio passegers each year. Five categories defie North Carolia's public trasportatio system: commuity, regioal commuity, urba, regioal urba ad itercity. Commuity Trasportatio - Local trasportatio efforts formerly cetered o assistig cliets of huma service agecies. Today, the vast majority of rural systems serve the geeral public as well as those cliets. Regioal Commuity Trasportatio - Regioal commuity trasportatio systems are composed of two or more cotiguous couties providig coordiated / cosolidated service. Although such systems are ot ew, the NCDOT Board of Trasportatio is ecouragig sigle-couty systems to cosider mergers to form more regioal systems. Urba Trasportatio There are curretly ietee urba trasit systems operatig i North Carolia, from locatios such as Asheville ad Hedersoville i the west to Jacksoville ad Wilmigto i the east. I additio, small urba systems are at work i three areas of the state. Cosolidated urba-commuity trasportatio exists i five areas of the state. I those systems, oe trasportatio system provides both urba ad rural trasportatio withi the couty. Regioal Urba Trasportatio - Regioal urba trasit systems curretly operate i three areas of the state. These systems coect multiple muicipalities ad couties. Itercity Trasportatio - Itercity bus service is oe of a few remaiig examples of privately owed ad operated public trasportatio i North Carolia. Itercity I-13

46 buses serve may cities ad tows throughout the state ad provide coectios to locatios i eighborig states ad throughout the Uited States ad Caada. Greyhoud/Carolia Trailways operates i North Carolia. However, commuity, urba ad regioal trasportatio systems are providig icreasig itercity service i North Carolia. A ivetory of existig ad plaed fixed public trasportatio routes for the couty is preseted o Sheet 3 ad 3A of Figure 1. The Kerr Area Rural Trasportatio System (KARTS) is a regioal public trasportatio system that is operated uder the Kerr Area Trasportatio Authority ad serves Frakli, Graville, Vace ad Warre Couties. Curretly, this system serves huma service agecies ad the geeral public through subscriptio, deviated fixed ad demad respose (dial-a-ride) routes while also providig out of area service to Durham, Chapel Hill ad Raleigh. Greyhoud, a itercity trasportatio system also operates i Hederso ad provides service to may cities ad tows throughout the Uited States ad Caada. All recommedatios for public trasportatio were coordiated with the local govermets. Refer to Appedix A for cotact iformatio. Rail Today North Carolia has 3,684 miles of railroad tracks throughout the state. There are two types of trais that operate i the state, passeger trais ad freight trais. The North Carolia Departmet of Trasportatio sposors two passeger trais, the Caroliia ad Piedmot. The Caroliia rus betwee Charlotte ad New York City, while the Piedmot trai carries passegers from Raleigh to Charlotte ad back everyday. Combied, the Caroliia ad Piedmot carry more tha 200,000 passegers each year. There are two major freight railroad compaies that operate i North Carolia, CSX Trasportatio ad Norfolk Souther Corporatio. Also, there are more tha 20 smaller freight railroads, kow as shortlies. A ivetory of existig ad plaed rail facilities for the plaig area is preseted o Sheet 3 of Figure 1. Amtrak s passeger trais Caroliia, Silver Meteor, Palmetto ad Silver Star travel o-stop through Vace Couty. CSX Trasportatio, which is a freight railroad compay, operates i Vace Couty. The oly active rail lie i the couty is the CSX S-lie, which rus from Raleigh to Norlia through Kittrell, Hederso ad Middleburg parallelig US 1 ad US 1/158 i a orth-south directio. The oly trai traffic curretly o this lie is a couple local freight trais per day servig the local rail customers betwee Raleigh ad Norlia. This lie origially coected Raleigh, Hederso ad Norlia i North Carolia to Petersburg ad Richmod i Virgiia. It was part of a larger orth-south mailie that provided freight ad passeger rail service from New York to Florida. I-14

47 The Southeast High Speed Rail (SEHSR) project which will ru from Washigto, DC to Charlotte, NC proposes to recostruct/upgrade the portio of the S-lie from Raleigh, North Carolia to Petersburg, Virgiia. Realigmets of the track, additioal right-ofway, ad potetial railroad crossig closigs may be required for safety reasos ad will also sigificatly reduce existig passeger trai travel times. All proposed crossig elimiatios i the study area are associated with SEHSR. Sustaiig livable commuities alog the proposed SEHSR route by maitaiig ad providig emergecy service, pedestria, ad bicycle access will be a cotiued discussio with the tows affected. The SEHSR would provide limited statio stops betwee Raleigh, North Carolia ad Richmod, Virgiia. There is a proposed stop i Hederso; however, the pla is ot fialized. Additioal freight service could be added alog with Piedmot-type passeger service to provide more local passeger rail service. SEHSR could also lead to a light rail commuter service from Norlia to Raleigh; however, as stadaloe projects, these are ulikely to happe without the SEHSR beig built. All recommedatios for rail were coordiated with the local govermets ad the Rail Divisio of NCDOT. Refer to Appedix A for cotact iformatio. Bicycles & Pedestrias Bicyclists ad pedestrias are a growig part of the trasportatio equatio i North Carolia. May commuities are workig to improve mobility for both cyclists ad pedestrias. NCDOT s Bicycle Policy, updated i 1991, clarifies resposibilities regardig the provisio of bicycle facilities upo ad alog the 77,000-mile state-maitaied highway system. The policy details guidelies for plaig, desig, costructio, maiteace, ad operatios pertaiig to bicycle facilities ad accommodatios. All bicycle improvemets udertake by the NCDOT are based upo this policy. The 2000 NCDOT Pedestria Policy Guidelies specifies that NCDOT will participate with localities i the costructio of sidewalks as icidetal features of highway improvemet projects. At the request of a locality, state fuds for a sidewalk are made available if matched by the requestig locality, usig a slidig scale based o populatio. NCDOT s admiistrative guidelies, adopted i 1994, esure that greeways ad greeway crossigs are cosidered durig the highway plaig process. This policy was icorporated so that critical corridors which have bee adopted by localities for future greeways will ot be severed by highway costructio. Ivetories of existig ad plaed bicycle ad pedestria facilities for the plaig area are preseted o Sheets 4, 4A, 5, 5A ad 5B of Figure 1. The Carolia Coectio (US Bike Route 1) which rus from Maie to Florida covers 200 miles i North Carolia ad traverses Vace Couty. The North Lie Trace (NC Bike Route 4) is a 400 mile bike route that rus through Vace Couty ad is just south of the Virgiia border from the I-15

48 moutais to the coast of North Carolia. The Kerr-Tar Regioal Coucil of Govermets will be developig a regioal bike pla betwee Jue 2012 ad Jue 2014 that will recommed bicycle trasportatio coectios betwee the regio s lakes, tows, public lads, ad ladmarks withi the Kerr-Tar regio. All recommedatios for bicycle ad pedestria facilities were coordiated with the local govermets ad the NCDOT Divisio of Bicycle ad Pedestria Trasportatio. Refer to Appedix A for cotact iformatio. Lad Use G.S requires that local areas have a curret (less tha five years old) lad developmet pla prior to adoptio of the CTP. For this CTP, the 2010 Vace Couty Lad Use Pla, the 2007 Hederso Existig Lad Use Map ad the Hederso Future Lad Use Map (May 10, 2010) were used to meet this requiremet ad are illustrated i Figures 7, 8 ad 9, respectively. Lad use refers to the physical patters of activities ad fuctios withi a area. Traffic demad i a give area is, i part, attributed to adjacet lad use. For example, a large shoppig ceter typically geerates higher traffic volumes tha a residetial area. The spatial distributio of differet types of lad uses is a predomiat determiat of whe, where, ad to what extet traffic cogestio occurs. The travel demad betwee differet lad uses ad the resultig impact o traffic coditios varies depedig o the size, type, itesity, ad spatial separatio of developmet. Additioally, traffic volumes have differet peaks based o the time of day ad the day of the week. For trasportatio plaig purposes, lad use is divided ito the followig categories: Residetial: Lad devoted to the housig of people, with the exceptio of hotels ad motels which are cosidered commercial. Commercial: Lad devoted to retail trade icludig cosumer ad busiess services ad their offices; this may be further stratified ito retail ad special retail classificatios. Special retail would iclude high-traffic establishmets, such as fast food restaurats ad service statios; all other commercial establishmets would be cosidered retail. Idustrial: Lad devoted to the maufacturig, storage, warehousig, ad trasportatio of products. Public: Lad devoted to social, religious, educatioal, cultural, ad political activities; this would iclude the office ad service employmet establishmets. Agricultural: Lad devoted to the use of buildigs or structures for the raisig of o-domestic aimals ad/or growig of plats for food ad other productio. Mixed Use: Lad devoted to a combiatio of ay of the categories above. I-16

49 Aticipated future lad developmet is, i geeral, a logical extesio of the preset spatial lad use distributio. Locatios ad types of expected growth withi the plaig area help to determie the locatio ad type of proposed trasportatio improvemets. Vace Couty primarily aticipates growth i areas desigated as a Developmet Area icludig Towsville, Williamsboro, Gillburg, Hederso, Middleburg ad Kittrell as show i Figure 7. Developmet areas, as depicted i Figure 7, ecompass residetial, commercial ad public lad uses. These areas ted to be established populated areas ad are located throughout the Couty, typically alog major routes. I-17

59 Cosideratio of Natural ad Huma Eviromet I recet years, the evirometal cosideratios have come to the forefrot of the trasportatio plaig process. Sectio 102 of the Natioal Evirometal Policy Act (NEPA) requires cosideratio of impacts o wetlads, wildlife, water quality, historic properties, ad public lads. While a full NEPA evaluatio was ot coducted as part of the CTP, potetial impacts to these resources were idetified as a part of the project recommedatios i Chapter 2 of this report. Prior to implemetig trasportatio recommedatios of the CTP, a more detailed evirometal study would eed to be completed i cooperatio with the appropriate evirometal resource agecies. A full listig of evirometal features that were examied as a part of this study is show i the followig tables utilizig the best available data. Evirometal features occurrig withi Vace Couty are show i Figure 10.

63 Public Ivolvemet Public ivolvemet is a key elemet i the trasportatio plaig process. Adequate documetatio of this process is essetial for a seamless trasfer of iformatio from systems plaig to project plaig ad desig. The Kerr-Tar RPO requested the developmet of a comprehesive trasportatio pla for Vace Couty through a prioritized list of regioal eeds. A meetig was held with the Vace Couty Board of Commissioers i February 2011 to formally iitiate the study, provide a overview of the trasportatio plaig process, ad to gather iput o area trasportatio eeds. Throughout the course of the study, the Trasportatio Plaig Brach cooperatively worked with the Vace Couty Trasportatio Committee, which icluded a represetative from each muicipality, couty staff, the RPO ad others, to provide iformatio o curret local plas, to develop trasportatio visio ad goals, to discuss populatio ad employmet projectios, ad to develop proposed CTP recommedatios. Refer to Appedix H for detailed iformatio o the visio statemet, the goals ad objectives survey ad a listig of committee members. The public ivolvemet process icluded holdig two public drop-i sessios i Vace Couty to preset the proposed Comprehesive Trasportatio Pla to the public ad solicit commets. The first meetig was held o May 16, 2012 at the Kittrell Fire Departmet; the secod meetig was held o May 17, 2012 at the Kerr-Tar COG Office i Hederso. Each sessio was publicized i the local ewspaper ad was held from 4-7 pm. Additioally, otificatios were set out via lists to Vace Couty Schools ad the Kerr-Tar Coucil of Govermets. No commet forms were submitted durig these sessios. A public hearig was held o August 6, 2012 durig the Vace Couty Commissioers meetig, o August 27, 2012 durig the city of Hederso Commissioers meetig, o November 5, 2012 durig the tow of Kittrell Commissioers meetig ad o November 5, 2012 durig the tow of Middleburg Commissioers meetig. The purposes of these meetigs were to discuss the pla recommedatios ad to solicit further iput from the public. The CTP was adopted durig this meetig.

65 II. Recommedatios This report documets the developmet of the 2035 Vace Couty CTP as show i Figure 1. This chapter presets recommedatios for each mode of trasportatio i Vace Couty. Refer to Appedix I for documetatio of project alteratives ad scearios that were studied, but are ot icluded i the adopted CTP. Implemetatio The CTP is based o the projected growth for the plaig area. It is possible that actual growth patters will differ from those logically aticipated. As a result, it may be ecessary to accelerate or delay the implemetatio of some recommedatios foud withi this pla. Some portios of the pla may require revisios i order to accommodate uexpected chages i developmet. Therefore, ay chages made to oe elemet of the Comprehesive Trasportatio Pla should be cosistet with the other elemets. Iitiative for implemetig the CTP rests predomiately with the policy boards ad citizes of the Couty ad its muicipalities. As trasportatio eeds throughout the State exceed available fudig, it is imperative that the local plaig area aggressively pursue fudig for priority projects. Projects should be prioritized locally ad submitted to the Kerr-Tar RPO for regioal prioritizatio ad submittal to NCDOT. Refer to Appedix A for cotact iformatio o fudig. Local govermets may use the CTP to guide developmet ad protect corridors for the recommeded projects. It is critical that NCDOT ad local govermet coordiate o relevat lad developmet reviews ad all trasportatio projects to esure proper implemetatio of the CTP. Local govermets ad the North Carolia Departmet of Trasportatio share the resposibility for access maagemet ad the plaig, desig ad costructio of the recommeded projects. Prior to implemetig projects from the CTP, additioal aalysis will be ecessary to meet the Natioal Evirometal Policy Act (NEPA) or the North Carolia (or State) Evirometal Policy Act (SEPA). This CTP may be used to provide iformatio i the NEPA/SEPA process. The followig pages cotai problem statemets for each recommedatio, orgaized by CTP modal elemet. II-1

66 Problem Statemets The followig chapter cotais recommeded improvemets based o the ability of the existig system to serve curret ad aticipated travel volumes as the area cotiues to grow. The recommeded pla represets a system of trasportatio elemets icludig highway, rail, trasit, bicycle ad pedestria, which will serve the aticipated traffic ad lad developmet eeds for the Couty. The primary objective of this pla is to reduce traffic cogestio ad improve safety by elimiatig both existig ad projected deficiecies i the trasportatio system. HIGHWAY The recommeded highway improvemets are show o Figure 1 Sheets 2, 2A, ad 2B. The pla icludes roadways withi the plaig area that fall ito five categories: freeways, expressways, boulevards, other major thoroughfares, ad mior thoroughfares. See Appedix B for a more detailed descriptio of the differet facility types ad Appedix C for a roadway ivetory.

67 Uaddressed Deficiecies US 158 Busiess (Dabey Drive (SR 1162) to Mai Street) US 158 Busiess (Garett Street) is a 2-lae major thoroughfare that rus through the dowtow district of Hederso. The curret capacity of US 158 Busiess from Dabey Drive (SR 1162) to US 1 Busiess (Raleigh Road) is 10,000 vehicles per day (vpd) with 7,200 vpd i 2007 ad 9,200 vpd i US 158 Busiess from US 1 Busiess (Raleigh Road) to NC 39 (Adrews Aveue) has a curret capacity of 8,800 vpd with 8,200 vpd i 2007 ad 10,500 vpd i The curret capacity of US 158 Busiess from NC 39 to Mai Street is 10,000 vpd with 6,400 vpd i 2007 ad 8,200 vpd i Although this facility is expected to operate ear or over capacity i 2035, this deficiecy was ot addressed through the Comprehesive Trasportatio Pla (CTP) recommedatios sice there is o room for improvemet through the dowtow area of Hederso. Several historic structures such as the Hederso Fire Statio ad Zollicoffer s Law Office would be impacted if US 158 Busiess were wideed. There are also several historic districts alog US 158 Busiess that would be impacted if the facility were wideed. NC 39 (Piksto Street (SR 1214) to Chestut Street (SR 1226)) NC 39 from Garrett Road (SR 1538) to Piksto Street (SR 1214) is a 2-lae major thoroughfare that rus through a residetial area i Hederso. NC 39 is already over capacity from Piksto Street (SR 1214) to Chestut Street (SR 1226), with 14,000 vehicles per day (vpd) i 2007 ad a capacity of 11,800 vpd. The Comprehesive Trasportatio Pla (CTP) recommeds upgradig this facility to a 3-lae facility with bicycle ad pedestria accommodatios. This recommedatio will give the facility a capacity of 13,000 vpd which will ot accommodate the projected 21,800 vpd i 2035 but will provide safer accommodatios for bicyclists ad pedestrias. Approximately 50 homes ad 7 busiesses would be impacted if the facility were to be wideed to a 4- lae divided boulevard facility to accommodate the projected traffic i Completio of the Wester Outer Loop (SR 1295), improvemets to Dabey Drive (SR 1162) ad improvig the US 1/I-85 iterchage to accommodate all turig movemets could potetially help alleviate some of the traffic alog NC 39.

Completig the Wester Outer Loop (SR 1295) is cosistet with the Visio ad Goals Statemets developed by the Vace Couty CTP Committee to develop a trasportatio etwork that improves safety ad cogestio. Durig the 2011 CTP public survey, several respodets aswered that they wated the Wester Outer Loop (SR 1295) completed. Oe crash locatio was idetified alog the Wester Outer Loop (SR 1295) durig the traffic crash aalysis betwee the time period of Jauary 1, 2007 ad December 31, 2009 at the itersectio of US 158 Busiess ad had 10 crashes ad a severity idex of CTP PROJECT PROPOSAL Project Descriptio ad Overview The CTP proposed project (Local ID: VANC0031-H) for the Wester Outer Loop (SR 1295) is to provide a 2-lae, mior thoroughfare o multi-lae right of way o ew locatio extedig it from Old Couty Home Road (SR 1101) to US 1 Bypass. The Wester Outer Loop (SR 1295) will travel o ew locatio from Old Couty Home Road (SR 1101) to Leo Frazier Road (SR 1116) ad will coect with the existig Leo Frazier Road (SR 1116) ad Lybak Road (SR 1115) util it reaches US 1 Bypass. Completig the Wester Outer Loop (SR 1295) with a 2-lae mior thoroughfare will relieve cogestio alog Dabey Drive (SR 1295) which is curretly over capacity i some sectios. Natural ad Huma Evirometal Cotext I the developmet of the Vace Couty CTP, the chose Wester Outer Loop (SR 1295) recommedatio is cosistet with the 1995 Hederso Thoroughfare Pla. A 2- lae, mior thoroughfare from Old Couty Home Road (SR 1101) to US 1 Bypass was recommeded for completig the Wester Outer Loop (SR 1295). This recommedatio will have 2 stream crossigs ad will also hit a high quality water zoe where it travels alog existig North Lybak Road (SR 1115)/Bear Pod Road (SR 1115) but should have oly mior, if ay impacts to this area.

85 Relatioship to Lad Use Plas The existig city of Hederso Lad Use Pla shows commercial, residetial ad ope space lad uses i this area. The future city of Hederso Lad Use Pla as see i Figure 8 shows regioal commercial ad rural desity alog the existig ad proposed Wester Outer Loop (SR 1295). The CTP proposal for a 2-lae, mior thoroughfare from Old Couty Home Road (SR 1101) to US 1 Bypass will allow Hederso to develop i a maer cosistet with their lad use map. A mior thoroughfare completig the Wester Outer Loop (SR 1295) would reduce cogestio alog Dabey Drive (SR 1162) ad will provide for the expected growth ad developmet of Hederso. Likages to Other Plas ad Proposed Project History I the 1995 Hederso Thoroughfare Pla, the Wester Outer Loop (SR 1295) was recommeded as a 4-lae boulevard from Bear Pod Road (SR 1115) to Rui Creek Road (SR 1128) with the portio from Rui Creek Road (SR 1128) to Belmot Drive (SR 1101) beig programmed i the TIP (U-2527). The reasoig for this recommedatio was to provide for circumferetial travel movemets i the wester sectios of Hederso, provide for the expected growth ad developmet, ad also to relieve cogestio created by through traffic o existig Dabey Drive (SR 1162). The recommedatio i the Vace Couty CTP differs slightly from that of the 1995 Hederso Thoroughfare Pla i that the Wester Outer Loop (SR 1295) eds at the US 1 Bypass istead of NC 39. The Wester Outer Loop (SR 1295) proposal is cosistet with Vace Couty s Visio ad Goals Statemets developed by the committee to guide the CTP study. Refer to Appedix H for the Visio ad Goals Statemet. This 2-lae mior thoroughfare recommedatio is cosistet with the goal to develop a trasportatio etwork that improves safety ad cogestio. Multi-modal Cosideratios The CTP icludes recommedatios for wide outside bike laes oly alog the existig portio of the Wester Outer Loop (SR 1295) ad is show o Figure 1, Sheets 4 ad 4A.

127 Assumptios/ Notes: Appedix C CTP Ivetory ad Recommedatios Local ID: This Local ID is the same as the oe used for the Prioritizatio Project Submittal Tool. If a TIP project umber exists it is listed as the ID. Otherwise, the followig system is used to create a code for each recommeded improvemet: the first 4 letters of the couty ame is combied with a 4 digit uique umerical code followed by -H for highway, -T for public trasportatio, -R for rail, -B for bicycle, -M for multi-use paths, or -P for pedestria modes. If a differet code is used alog a route it idicates separate projects will probably be requested. Also, upper case alphabetic characters (i.e. A, B, or C ) are icluded after the umeric portio of the code if it is aticipated that project segmetatio or phasig will be recommeded. Jurisdictio: Jurisdictios listed are based o muicipal limits, couty boudaries, ad MPO Metropolita Plaig Area Boudaries (MAB), as applicable. Existig Cross-Sectio: Listed uder (ft) is the approximate width of the roadway from edge of pavemet to edge of pavemet. Listed uder laes is the total umber of laes, with the letter D if the facility is divided. Existig ROW: The estimated existig right-of-way is based o the NCDOT GIS Roadway Characteristics layer. These right-of-way amouts are approximate ad may vary. Existig ad Proposed Capacity: The estimated capacities are give i vehicles per day (vpd) based o LOS D for existig facilities ad LOS C for ew facilities. These capacity estimates were developed usig NCLOS, as documeted i Chapter I. Existig ad Proposed AADT (Aual Average Daily Traffic) volumes, give i vehicles per day (vpd), are estimates oly based o a systems-level aalysis. The 2035 AADT E+C is a estimate of the volume i 2035 with oly existig plus committed projects assumed to be i place, where committed is defied as projects programmed for costructio i the Trasportatio Improvemet Program (TIP). The 2035 AADT with CTP is a estimate of the volume i 2035 with all proposed CTP improvemets assumed to be i place. The 2035 AADT with CTP is show i bold if it exceeds the proposed capacity, idicatig a umet eed. For additioal iformatio about the assumptios ad techiques used to develop the AADT volume estimates, refer to Chapter I. Proposed Cross-sectio: The CTP recommeded cross-sectios are listed by code; for depictio of the cross-sectio, refer to Appedix D. A etry of ADQ idicates the existig facility is adequate ad there are o improvemets recommeded as part of the CTP. CTP Classificatio: The CTP classificatio is listed, as show o the adopted CTP Maps (see Figure 1). Abbreviatios are F= freeway, E= expressway, B= boulevard, Maj= other major thoroughfare, Mi= mior thoroughfare. Tier: Tiers are defied as part of the North Carolia Mulitmodal Ivestmet Network (NCMIN). Abbreviatios are Sta= statewide tier, Reg= regioal tier, Sub= subregioal tier. Other Modes: If there is a improvemet recommeded for aother mode of trasportatio that relates to the give recommedatio, it is idicated by a alphabetic code (H=highway, T= public trasportatio, R= rail, B= bicycle, ad P= pedestria).

141 Appedix D Typical Cross Sectios Cross sectio requiremets for roadways vary accordig to the capacity ad level of service to be provided. Uiversal stadards i the desig of roadways are ot practical. Each roadway sectio must be idividually aalyzed ad its cross sectio determied based o the volume ad type of projected traffic, existig capacity, desired level of service, ad available right-of-way. These cross sectios are typical for facilities o ew locatio ad where right-of-way costraits are ot critical. For wideig projects ad urba projects with limited right-of-way, special cross sectios should be developed that meet the eeds of the project. The typical cross sectios were updated o December 7, 2010 to support the Departmet s Complete Streets policy that was adopted i July This guidace established desig elemets that emphasize safety, mobility, ad accessibility for multiple modes of travel. These typical cross sectios should be used as prelimiary guidelies for comprehesive trasportatio plaig, project plaig ad project desig activities. The specific ad fial cross sectio details ad right of way limits for projects will be established through the preparatio of the Natioal Evirometal Policy Act (NEPA) documetatio ad through fial pla preparatio. O all existig ad proposed roadways delieated o the CTP, adequate right-of-way should be protected or acquired for the recommeded cross sectios. I additio to cross sectio ad right-of-way recommedatios for improvemets, Appedix C may recommed ultimate eeded right-of-way for the followig situatios: roadways which may require wideig after the curret plaig period, roadways which are borderlie adequate ad accelerated traffic growth could reder them deficiet, ad roadways where a urba curb ad gutter cross sectio may be locally desirable because of urba developmet or redevelopmet. roadways which may eed to accommodate a additioal trasportatio mode D-1

149 Appedix E Level of Service Defiitios The relatioship of travel demad compared to the roadway capacity determies the level of service (LOS) of a roadway. Six levels of service idetify the rage of possible coditios. Desigatios rage from LOS A, which represets the best operatig coditios, to LOS F, which represets the worst operatig coditios. Desig requiremets for roadways vary accordig to the desired capacity ad level of service. LOS D idicates practical capacity of a roadway, or the capacity at which the public begis to express dissatisfactio. Recommeded improvemets ad overall desig of the trasportatio pla were based upo achievig a miimum LOS D o existig facilities ad a LOS C o ew facilities. The six levels of service are described below ad illustrated i Figure 10. LOS A: Describes primarily free flow coditios. The motorist experieces a high level of physical ad psychological comfort. The effects of mior icidets of breakdow are easily absorbed. Eve at the maximum desity, the average spacig betwee vehicles is about 528 ft, or 26 car legths. LOS B: Represets reasoably free flow coditios. The ability to maeuver withi the traffic stream is oly slightly restricted. The lowest average spacig betwee vehicles is about 330 ft, or 18 car legths. LOS C: Provides for stable operatios, but flows approach the rage i which small icreases will cause substatial deterioratio i service. Freedom to maeuver is oticeably restricted. Mior icidets may still be absorbed, but the local declie i service will be great. Queues may be expected to form behid ay sigificat blockage. Miimum average spacig is i the rage of 220 ft, or 11 car legths. LOS D: Borders o ustable flow. Desity begis to deteriorate somewhat more quickly with icreasig flow. Small icreases i flow ca cause substatial deterioratio i service. Freedom to maeuver is severely limited, ad the driver experieces drastically reduced comfort levels. Mior icidets ca be expected to create substatial queuig. At the limit, vehicles are spaced at about 165 ft, or 9 car legths. LOS E: Describes operatio at capacity. Operatios at this level are extremely ustable, because there are virtually o usable gaps i the traffic stream. Ay disruptio to the traffic stream, such as a vehicle eterig from a ramp, or chagig laes, requires the followig vehicles to give way to admit the vehicle. This ca establish a disruptio wave that propagates through the upstream traffic flow. At capacity, the traffic stream has o ability to dissipate ay disruptio. Ay icidet ca be expected to produce a serious breakdow with extesive queuig. Vehicles are spaced at approximately 6 car legths, leavig little room to maeuver. E-1

150 LOS F: Describes forced or breakdow flow. Such coditios geerally exist withi queues formig behid breakdow poits. Figure 12 - Level of Service Illustratios Source: 2000 Highway Capacity Maual E-2
