McCrimmon Transit Small Area Plan - 2013

TOWN OF MORRISVILLE

Traffic and Transportation

BACKGROUND

Transit-oriented developments rely on automobile, foot, and bicycle traffic as well as transit to help support the businesses, offices, and residential developments that they contain. One of the issues surrounding any proposed new development is how it may affect existing traffic conditions. Traffic queues on NC 54 (Chapel Hill Road) through Morrisville often experience long backups in peak morning and afternoon periods. As a result, the Town of Morrisville hired Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. to conduct a Transportation Analysis of the study area and the proposed TOD.
