THE PATH FORWARD <br /> Key Initiatives <br /> The following three initiatives have been identified as the top priorities for the Town. Early plan implementation <br /> efforts should be focused on these initiatives to ensure steps toward meeting the stated objectives are being taken. <br /> Rezoning: Parcels in Planned Unit Development (PUD) District <br /> The Town should facilitate development consistent with this Plan by initiating the rezoning of parcels in <br /> the Morehead West Area that were previously zoned to the PUD district. Refer to the Land Use+ <br /> Development Design section for more specific recommendations. <br /> Feasibility Study: Caldwell Road Extension <br /> The extension of Caldwell Road north of NC-49 to connect to US-29 is important for the western area of <br /> Cabarrus County.In addition to making land in the Morehead West Area more accessible,better traffic <br /> flow could be accomplished. This Plan identifies two reasonable options for the extension. However,a <br /> more detailed feasibility study would be needed to more precisely and reliably estimate probable costs <br /> associated with potential future alignments and to determine if one is a more suitable alternative.This <br /> feasibility study should determine structure needs for stream crossings,provide more exact alignments <br /> based on curve and grading needs,estimate earthwork quantities,develop intersection geometries, and <br /> provide detailed cost estimates. Refer to the Mobility section for more specific recommendations regarding <br /> the future Caldwell Road extension. <br /> Corridor Plan: NC-49 <br /> In collaboration with NCDOT and as part of a detailed study of the corridor through Harrisburg's <br /> jurisdiction,the Town should prepare a plan that addresses aesthetics and operations of NC-49. As <br /> explained in recommendations in the Land Use+Development Design,Economic Development,and <br /> Mobility sections,this study should examine a range of potential changes to reduce traffic congestion, <br /> improve safety,maintain the function of the roadway,and improve the appearance of the town's front door. <br /> The Path Forward 131 <br /> Attachment number 1 \n <br /> G-2 Page 173 <br />
