CTP High Lights been a while. Its

So, Lets hit the highlights of the CTP

6/22/2011

What is a CTP?

A Comprehensive Transportation Plan ..

Is a Long-Range, multi-modal transportation plan. Is developed cooperatively with NCDOT, the RPO, County and Municipal stakeholders.

Emphasizes the local land development plan as well as community and

statewide goals such as the protection of Strategic Corridors.

Is only a Concept Plan. Is not fiscally constrained.

6/22/2011

What exactly does Long Range mean?

Comprehensive Transportation Plan (25-30 Years not fiscally restrained)

Ten Year Work Program Draft Statewide Transportation Improvement Program

Five Year Work Program NCDOT Committed to Build 90 % of Projects

Why Develop a Comprehensive Transportation Plan?

Answer: Both Federal and State Law Require It! 1. Federal Legislation like TEA-21and SAFETEALU provided the documentation that required States to develop Long Range Transportation Planning that included both municipal and rural entities actively participating in cooperative efforts with the Department of Transportation. 2. North Carolina G.S. 136-66.2. Development of a coordinated transportation system and provisions for streets and highways in and around municipalities. State law mandates that municipalities and/or Counties
develop a comprehensive transportation plan that will serve present and anticipated travel demand.
Its all because of TEA 21 & SAFETEA-LU!

6/22/2011

To qualify for participation a municipality must.

2. Continued .North Carolina G.S. 136-66.2. Development of a coordinated transportation system and provisions for streets and highways in and around municipalities.
The Department of Transportation may participate in the development and adoption of a transportation plan, or updated transportation plan, when all local governments within the area covered by the transportation plan have adopted land development plans within the previous five years.

have an adopted land development plan in place.

6/22/2011 13

The CTP is now a portal for funding transportation projects through the Prioritization Process.
Who determines what projects are eligible for consideration in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)?

NCDOT Leadership in response to Strategic Statewide Needs

NCDOT Division offices in response to safety, mobility, and local needs. Metropolitan and Rural Planning Organizations in response to local needs and visions. BUT THESE PROJECTS ARE CHOSEN PRIMARILY FROM CTPs or OTHER EXISTING PLANS. Without a CTP, competing against statewide priorities will diminish the opportunity for Moore County to receive transportation funding because criteria is data driven.
6/22/2011 14

What Are The Benefits of having an Adopted CTP? The CTP can be used as a tool for local land use planning by: 1) Protecting of RIGHT OF WAY for future facilities. 2) Reducing the number of social and environmental impacts to the community.

.....continued

Moore importantly, the CTP ensures connectivity for the

County, regionally, Statewide, and nationally through the protection and promotion of STATEGIC HIGHWAY CORRIDORS.

Strategic Highway Corridors are one of NCDOTs Highest Priorities

Summary of Important Points

1. 2. Federal Law requires rural and municipal participation in long range planning efforts. The State requires the development the CTP in partnership with municipal and county agencies as well as the local planning organizations. The integration of land use planning in the CTP process is also a requirement. The CTP is a key step to inclusion in the State Transportation Improvement Program and other funding processes. CTP provides the tools for local corridor preservation. The CTP facilitates the implementation of the Strategic Highway Corridor Vision Plan and helps communities prepare for the necessary improvements. Showing proposed projects are part of a long-range plan facilitates finding alternative funding streams.

Listening to Feedback
General Comments from December 6, 2010:
In totality, the meeting had mixed reviews Facility too small Needed leadership to facilitate Mapping was not detailed enough Hard to focus with four or five focus areas working so closely. We had a long way to go to be ready for a large crowd and for the general public. Process was a successful learning experience.

6/22/2011

Comments about specific projects are grouped with the focus area.

22

Adjustments in Process from Feedback

Lessons learned: Need to be ready for at least 100 people with the full committee in tact. Sub-committee only meeting necessary to concentrate on each focus area and without distraction of a crowd and other issues. Need to add a Technical Advisory Committee to add staff level leadership and ensure local interests are addressed. New process for mapping to include local input We had a long way to go to be ready for a large crowd and for the general public. Please make sure you fill out check lists and include comments so we know how we did.

Moore County Focus Areas

1. US 1 Freeway 2. Carthage 3. Western Connector Pinehurst Aberdeen Pinebluff Foxfire Village 4. West End Focus Area 5. Cameron Focus Area

Cameron

Objective: Current Status: Affected Facilities: Communities:

Examine feasibility and existing geometric constraints of projects on line. Strategic Highway Corridor Plan calls for NC 24/27 to be an Expressway. R-2529 is a widening project NC 24/27, NC 87 Cameron

6/22/2011

25

Cameron
From NCDOT Feasibility Unit. For Communities like Cameron, West End, and Carthage two scenarios exist to reduce impacts: 1. Reduce cross section to a 4-lane, divided narrow median curb and gutter section on 130-150 Right-of-Way. 2. Choose a bypass scenario with 300 of Right-of-Way. With the additional restrictions of NC 24/27s designation as a SHC, the option of reducing the cross section may not be a possibility.
In addition, future consideration of the existing single quadrant interchange with between US 1 and NC 24/27 is substandard and probably insufficient for long term growth.

West End Focus Area

Objective:

Examine West Ends land use development and area connectivity given the completion of four significant transportation facilities: R-2807 (Re-alignment of NC 73 intersection at NC 211), R-2812 (NC 211 widening), R-2591 (Western Connector) and locally requested project widening NC 73. R-2807 is listed in the STIP; R-2812 is scheduled in the STIP with construction slated for 2012; R-2591 is not in the STIP; and a local request has been submitted for a feasibility study widening NC 73. NC 73 and NC 211 West End

Current Status:

West End
R-2807 (Re-alignment of NC 73 intersection at NC 211) R-2812 (NC 211 widening) R-2591 (Western Connector) Locally requested project widening NC 73

What is the Community Vision? Assuming NC 73 is re-aligned and widened, NC 211 improvements end south of West End at the existing eastbound approach of NC 73 at NC 211; Where will the Western Connector tie in? Is Land Use Planning and Revitalization the goal? Can the CTP help support development of a vibrant town center?

PROPOSED CARTHAGE EXPRESSWAY FEEDBACK

Current concerns, issues and considerations:
NC 24/27 has a high volume of truck traffic including logging trucks. The truck traffic poses a problem in the center of town especially at the traffic circle. There is significant pedestrian volume in the vicinity of the circle. There are more environmental impacts to consider with a southern bypass even with the consideration of NC 22. This will be a more expensive alternative. Commissioners have indicated a preference for utilizing existing right-of-way where possible. Some local opposition came from concern over reduction in town traffic its economic impacts.

6/22/2011

32

Feedback from Carthage on 12/06/2011

Carthage Subcommittee Comments
May a bypass go through a voluntary agricultural district?
Yes, but there must be a public hearing.

We would like a scaled-up map of Carthage with buildings and more roads shown. Community concerns include:
Needmore North Dowd Street Community Southwest Jeffers Sunset Drive

Worried about economic impact of bypass around Carthage. 5% of traffic goes though Carthage for reasons other than going to court. Would like guidelines on specific projects included in the handouts.

6/22/2011

33

Three Towns Similar Concerns One CTP Can Offer the Comprehensive Answer
What is the difference between having one project in the vicinity and developing a CTP?
STIP projects usually address one primary deficiency. A CTP addresses a communitys quality of life, economic growth and development, and its connectivity to neighbors, nearby communities and beyond the boundaries of the county. STIP projects usually target connectivity of a few specific facilities and their through traffic. A CTP, in addition, also addresses the cohesion of a community and the needs of local residents to reach their destinations.

Agencies Integrating Planning Efforts

Planning today is evolving to focus on the design of Healthy Communities. As a result, public agencies are combining resources and communities are reaping the benefits! The movement reaches across all the disciplines and opens up both the professional and financial resources for communities to rebuild and revitalize.

Rules and Regulations NCDOT is Required to Work Under..

National Environmental Policy Act Basic structure for decision-making on projects. It is a required process for all federally-funded projects or projects that require a federal permit regardless of the funding source. Is the umbrella that helps us make sure we consider and address all applicable environmental laws and regulations.
6/22/2011

Requires us to look at enough solutions to a problem to make a sound, fact-based decision. Involves input from many agencies, businesses and local citizens. Final decision balances transportation needs with human and natural environment needs. Requires us to document and disclose all information concerning our decision.
45

Resources to Consider
Rivers, streams & wetlands Rare and protected plant & animal species Historic properties Archaeological resources Farmland Communities, homes, & businesses Minority and low-income populations Parks and other recreational facilities Wildlife refuges Economy Land use Noise levels Air quality Land with hazardous materials present Community facilities such as churches, schools, hospitals, post offices and fire stations And others as needed..

Long-Range Planning & NEPA

Long-Range planning does not take the place of NEPA, BUT Can assist by looking at several solutions to transportation problems AND Considering the NEPA analysis during long-range planning can help identify potential road blocks, which can only help move the project along. Long-Range planning is essential to smart growth and making sure NCDOT invests funding wisely.

NEPA and SEPA Regulations And the Moore County CTP

IF NCDOT, by law, has to study Alternative Routes, then why is the CTP so important? The CTP is used To make sure community vision is incorporated into the longrange planning process By identifying those mapping elements that are critical to NEPA and SEPA Analyses EARLY enough to ensure the local vision comes to fruition. And to provide local agencies with the opportunity to preserve the corridors vital to their communitys land use plan and long-range vision.

Importance of the CTP in early planning process

NC 24/27 Carthage Expressway

Objective:
Current Status: Associated Facilities: Communities:

Locate an Expressway facility along NC 24/27 to provide continuity and connectivity between R-2528 and R-2529. The project is not currently included in the STIP. NC 24/27, NC 22, US 15-501, and US 1 Carthage

6/22/2011

54

From Roadway Design Engineer NC 24/27 compliance with Strategic Highway Corridor #25 (Charlotte to Fayetteville)
R-2528, R-2212, R-2529 are the three STIP projects that define Strategic Highway Corridor #25 in Moore County. R-2212 has been deferred, but R-2528 and R-2529 are still viable projects. Neither are funded for construction. Both have made it to Right-of-Way. R-2528 and R-2529 are scheduled as Expressways. Both projects are proposed as 4 lane divided highways with a 46 median. The Department will likely recommend the use of the superstreet design concept. Expected speed limit 60 MPH with approximately 200-250 proposed Right-of-Way.

CTP Process, NC 24/27 and Carthage

We have a long walk a head of us and we want to make sure we are all together arm-n-arm when we start talking about the tough questions.

6/22/2011

56

R-2212 Deferred What Exactly Does That Mean? NO

1. Deferred means all project planning, design and pre-construction activities have stopped. R-2212 is still listed in the STIP and cannot be removed b/c of general statute 136-179 which established Highway Trust Fund Project to construct four lanes along NC 24/27 from Charlotte to Morehead City. Strategic Highway Corridor Vision Plan R-2212 can be reinstated, but would have to go back through the project prioritization process. Alternatives have been dropped. No right-of-way is currently being preserved.

6/22/2011

Does Carthage Need a Bypass?

Purpose and Need of the Original Project: Growing Traffic Volumes on NC 24-27 reducing level of service of the facility. High truck volumes in the downtown area contribute excessive noise and trucks have difficulty negotiating the courthouse traffic circle. Protection of mobility and connectivity function of the NC 2427 corridor as part of the Strategic Highway Corridor Vision and the North Carolina Intrastate System.

These factors have not changed.

If corridor preservation goes unaddressed, where will it be located when SAFETY finally becomes the over riding factor?

How to Be an Engineer and a Planner in One Easy Lesson

Problem: The County roadway system will require improvements to accommodate future traffic projections. These recommendations will be located in areas where substantial development and environmental impacts are a consideration and concern. Engineer and/or Planner Tasks: Protect critical resources. Reduce social and environmental impacts. Balance the roadway improvements with local priorities. Maintain impartiality in recommendations. Enter the planning process with no preconceived solutions.

Your Role:
Requires due diligence through sound engineering and planning practices and design standards.

When Looking for Solutions:

Consider the feasibility in terms of public safety, funding, right-of-way, existing development, rationale of the route, extreme variations in topography, existing infrastructure, etc. Remember this is a concept plan. The focus is on a general area and not a precise design alignment. Consider these projects are not funded and funding will be sought through a systematic process that takes many years. Try to optimize the use of existing resources before tapping new ones.
6/22/2011 70

How To Get Started..

Step 1 Find your focus area set up in the room. Step 2 Review your focus area issues with your team mates. Step 3 Begin searching the maps for route alternatives keeping in mind the rules of thumb stated in your Guidelines. Step 4 Work with team mates to draw in alternatives on the maps. There are different color markers for multiple tries and two maps for each focus area. Mark them up and have fun with it! Step 5 Write comments and concerns on the easel pads. Step 6 - Keep a list of possible process improvements.
