Notice of Citizens Informational Workshops for the US 64 Corridor Study between US 1 in Cary and US 64 Business in Pittsboro: Tip # R-4469 Wake and Chatham Counties

The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), in partnership with the towns of Cary, Apex, and Pittsboro; Wake and Chatham counties; and the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO), will hold two Community Workshops on the above study between the hours of 5:00 pm and 8:00 pm at the following locations:

Monday, May 19, 2008, Apex High School, 1501 Laura Duncan Rd, Apex, NC 27502
Tuesday, May 20, 2008, Northwood High School, 310 Northwood High School Road, Pittsboro NC 27312

The purposes of these workshops are for Study Team representatives to provide information, answer questions, and accept written comments regarding the planning study. The same information will be shared at both meetings and the public is invited to stop by at anytime between 5:00 and 8:00 pm.

The Study Team is developing a design and operations plan to guide development and improvements for the purpose of improving traffic flow along the US 64 Corridor. This long-term plan proposes to upgrade the highway by converting some cross streets to interchanges or overpasses, further controlling access, and removing traffic signals from US 1 in Cary to US 64 Business in Pittsboro. A short-term series of improvements will be presented at future workshops in the fall. Additional information on the study can be found at www.ncdot.org/~us64study.
