This project is part of the state's larger goal <br />to create an intrastate system of roads. One <br />goal of this system is to have a four-lane <br />highway within 10 minutes drive of 96% of <br />the population. Of more local importance is <br />the fact that this route will connect Charlotte <br />and Morehead City, along with cities in <br />between such as Fayetteville and <br />Jacksonville. <br /> <br />The combination of the improvements to NC <br />24/27 and other Mecklenburg County <br />projects will greatly affect the area's <br />accessibility. The Charlotte outerbelt (I- <br />485) will be approximately eight miles from <br />the crossroads. This will increase the <br />accessibility of the area to the entire region. <br /> <br />Local roads are largely country lanes and <br />most are more than adequate for the traffic <br />that they carry. The NC Department of <br />Transportation maintains most of these <br />secondary roads with improvements to them <br />made through the State Secondary Road <br />Paving Program. <br /> <br />TRANSPORTATION - RAIL, OTHER <br /> <br />The rail line that goes through old Midland <br />connects to Monroe and Charlotte to the <br />west and to Wilmington to the east. It is not <br />heavily used; only one to two trains pass <br />through daily. However, the NC <br />Department of Transportation is currently <br />studying this corridor for potential passenger <br />service in the future. <br /> <br />Public transportation is almost non-existent <br />in Cabarrus County. Transportation services <br />are provided to the elderly and handicapped <br />citizens through the Department of Aging <br />and the Elderly and Handicapped <br />Transportation Assistance Program <br />(EHTAP). These are the only public <br />transportation services offered in the <br />County. As the population and employment <br />opportunities grow in the Midland area, <br />public transportation will become more <br />feasible. Possible furore routes might <br />connect the crossroads or old Midland to <br />Concord or to the Charlotte outerbelt or <br />downtown area. <br /> <br />13 <br /> <br /> <br />
