  1. Petition to Council re Homestead Road/Weaver Dairy Road Extension May 9, 2005

  2. Requests • Seek accident statistics from NCDOT/NCHP • Install traffic light • Add turn lanes • Annex intersection into town • Notify neighbors about petition

  3. Background • Vineyard Square SUP approved 6/25/01 • Project connected Weaver Dairy Road Extension to Homestead Road • Improvements to Homestead were a key issue for council

  4. Background • Manager’s preliminary recommendation called for “exclusive left and right turn lanes” on Homestead • Could be built by NCDOT, developer (Centex) or a third party • Construction was to precede CO

  5. Background • Transportation and Bike & Ped boards supported manager’s recommendation • Developer objected, on cost • Planning Board agreed • Council dropped turn lanes

  6. Background • Final SUP required … • Dedication of half a 90-foot ROW along site’s Homestead frontage • Payment in lieu ($24,000) for a traffic signal

  7. Problem • The lack of a signal or turn lane has created a dangerous situation for eastbound traffic

  8. Problem • Neighbors: Many accidents here • Neighbors: Turn lane is needed • Limited sight lines • Limited bailout space

  9. Concluding points • Council assumed NCDOT would widen Homestead starting in FY05 • NCDOT has not widened and the 2006-12 TIP draft lists Homestead as a “post years” project • Only work has been a NC Moving Ahead! paving that added to the shoulder

  10. Concluding points • Planning staff memo for 5/14/01 public hearing said TIA submitted to that point was incomplete • “We believe that applicant’s Traffic Impact Analysis does not thoroughly address all potential future traffic scenarios for this development.” • Manager’s recommendation thus assumed worst-case impact
