Consider Caldwell Road Extension for public funding,although some or most of the road may require private developer funding to build portions. (Note:Two alignment options are shown for Caldwell Road Extension in Figure 11,providing different alternatives to cross Mallard Creek.The ultimate goal is to develop one option as an arterial-level Caldwell Road Extension and the other as a collector-level road.) • Adopt the Morehead West Area Plan including the proposed Caldwell Road Extension alignment. • Continue to coordinate with Cabarrus-Rowan MPO(CRMPO),NCDOT Division 10,Charlotte DOT, and the Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization(CRTPO), as these organizations should be aware of and supportive of the proposed alignment of Caldwell Road Extension. • Conduct a feasibility study to more precisely and reliably estimate probable costs associated with alignment options and to determine if one is a more suitable alternative.This feasibility study should determine structure needs for stream crossings,provide more exact alignments based on curve and grading needs, estimate earthwork quantities,develop intersection geometries,and provide detailed cost estimates. • Based on the results of the feasibility study,submit the proposed alignment for adoption by the CRMPO and CRTPO. • If there are proposed developments that affect area around the proposed alignment,work with the developers to reserve the right-of-way for Caldwell Road Extension or to construct sections of Caldwell Road Extension as part of the developments.If a developer or group of developers is willing to fund the design and construction of all or parts of the less feasible of the two options,as determined by the feasibility study,support the change in the location of the Caldwell Road Extension provided the points of connection to US-29 and NC-49 are maintained and the road is designed in accordance with the approved cross-section and for through movement. • Via the Cabarrus-Rowan MPO,submit the project for scoring in the State Transportation Improvements (STI)program. • If funding cannot be obtained through the STI or SPOT processes,Harrisburg should work with developers to construct segments of the road with development.With some sections built,the benefit/cost metrics may become more favorable in the STI scoring to allow the remainder or key sections(such as a bridge over Mallard Creek)to be constructed with public funding. Support the creation of a network of new-location roads. ➢ Facilitate a network of collector and local roads,as shown in Figure 11 that can be privately built throughout the Morehead West Area to create a complete,hierarchical network of roads. Collector roads should be two-or three-lane cross sections with bike facilities and sidewalks. Complete street design standards should be used for these roads to ensure multimodal accessibility and accommodation. 521 Morehead West Area Plan Attachment number 1 \n G-2 Page 194
