Agenda Text
The Board is requested to receive a resolution, in support of the alternative presented by the NC 98 Corridor Study Report, which includes a multi-use path through the Durham County section of the Corridor.
Summary. The Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO) and Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) conducted a study, in conjunction with WSP, starting in late 2016, regarding the NC 98 Corridor in Durham, Wake, and Franklin Counties. The study involved evaluation of safety and mobility along 27 miles of the existing NC 98, and recommendations for short and long-term improvements to intersections, lane widening, and pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure. In June, a full draft report was produced with recommendations for the NC 98 Corridor. In the public comment period until the final plan is to be adopted by the DCHC MPO and CAMPO Boards, local government boards and commissions were also asked to provide their comments on the NC 98 Draft Report. The Durham County Board of Commissioners received the report and presentation at Work Session on September 4, 2018, and further requested to draft a resolution in support of an alternative presented within the report that extends a multi-use path throughout the portion of the corridor within Durham County.
