MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />To: <br />From: <br />Date: <br /> <br />Cabarrus County Commissioners <br />Sarah W. LaBelle, Transportation Planner <br />July 25, 1995 <br /> <br />Re: Draft Transportation Plan for the KANLACON Urban Area <br /> <br />The KANLACON Urban Area Transportation Plan is nearing the end of a comprehensive <br />reevaluation undertaken by the North Carolina Department of Transportation in <br />cooperation with the Cabarrus County Transportation Planning staff. This has been a <br />large effort that began in winter, 1993 which included a thorough inventory of area <br />housing and employment data. These data were used to forecast future travel patterns and <br />volumes on our existing street systems. A statistical model of the urban area with the <br />traffic forecasts was created to show where potential improvement projects might occur. <br />Information from County produced area plans and corridor studies were used to forecast <br />future residential and commercial growth patterns. Additionally, the impact of the new <br />Concord Regional Airport and other industrial and business parks were used as well. <br /> <br />Presented for your review is a map of the urban area detailing the improvement <br />alternatives as recommended. These alternatives are being presented to you for <br />consideration of politicai viability and thoroughness. Many of the new projects have been <br />carried over from the previous plan. These include both the northern and southern <br />portions of the Westside Bypass and improvements to Poplar Tent Road and NC73 <br /> <br />A similar presentation will be made at the September Commissioner's meeting where the <br />Transportation Plan presented will include all local input collected from citizens through <br />public workshops as well as from the other elected officials representing the other <br />jurisdictions within the Urban Area. This will then be presented for your formal approval. <br /> <br /> <br />
