Improve NC-49. <br /> ➢ Work to improve aesthetics and operations on NC-49 through street plantings,medians in key locations, <br /> driveway consolidation and closing,decorative or pedestrian-level street lighting, and potentially buried utilities. <br /> NC-49 through the study area is a five-lane section,with sidewalks in some sections,although a narrow section <br /> of right-of-way.NC-49 is an important regional arterial.It is a designated a NCDOT Strategic Highway <br /> Corridor but has been downgraded from an Expressway to as a Boulevard designation.NC-49 will continue to <br /> be an important regional road and I-85 alternative,and as such,it will continue to carry significant volumes of <br /> traffic.However,aesthetic and operational improvements can maintain or increase road capacity,reduce conflict <br /> points,and enhance the pedestrian experience.As the corridor has continued to develop,the array of businesses <br /> and uses are such that pedestrian connections are important and aesthetic improvements can enhance the <br /> pedestrian experience. <br /> • Conduct a corridor study to address future improvements to NC-49. In collaboration with NCDOT and <br /> as part of a detailed study of the corridor,address access management and streetscape. <br /> • Work with NCDOT to: <br /> • Improve crossings.Pedestrian crossing enhancements should also be a part of improvements to the <br /> roadway,including more visible crosswalks,pedestrian countdown timers,and clearly delineated <br /> crossing locations. <br /> • Accommodate bikes,which may best provided through off-road facilities with access to parcels <br /> fronting NC-49. <br /> • Implement median treatments(as needed).Median treatments may be placed in locations to aid traffic <br /> flows and reduce conflict points.These treatments allow for more plantings on the roadway. <br /> • Consolidate driveways along the road frontage. <br /> � y <br /> o- <br /> l - _ <br /> 4 <br /> 541 Morehead West Area Plan <br /> Attachment number 1 \n <br /> G-2 Page 196 <br />
