ROADWAY NETWORK
BIG IDEA
Focus on Safety , Capacity , and Connectivity
Our investment in the roadway network will serve to provide safe multimodal options , manage areas of high congestion , and expand street grid connectivity .
The design of our roads will put people first , with complete streets that consider all modes of travel ( pedestrian , bike , transit , car ) in order to focus on moving people , not just cars .
This program capitalizes on funding partnerships to build our mobility infrastructure , by extending planned State ( NCDOT ) and private investment to accelerate implementation , minimize cost and maximize value .
Program Highlights
Safety – Vision Zero :
• Invest in safety improvements on the 10 % of our streets where 100 % of fatal and serious injury occur
New Street Connections :
• Build new streets , prioritizing planned corridors in areas with limited connectivity
• Examples : Bryant Farms Road , Carowinds Boulevard
Congestion Management :
• Targeted capacity and traffic flow investment in priority intersections
• Area-wide capacity investment in congestion management areas of high growth and development
Connectivity Program and Partnerships :
• Partner on new street connectivity and mobility investment in planned state and private investment projects
