CHAPTER 5: ACTION PLAN

MORRISVILLE TRANSPORTATION PLAN

POLICY OR PROGRAM RECOMMENDATIONS Element

Policy or Program Recommendation

General

Town staff should consider whether adjustments are needed to the Unified Development Ordinance to accommodate recommendations in the Comprehensive Transportation Plan.

Roadway

Support efforts by partner agencies to promote intelligent transportation systems and transportation demand management improvements.

Roadway

Where appropriate, consider implementation of access management strategies for both public and private sector improvements.

Roadway

Review all development proposals for consistency with the approved collector street recommendations and emphasize network connectivity rather than specific alignments.

Roadway

Amend the Comprehensive Transportation Plan as necessary to include new streets as they are identified during the development review process.

Bicycle & Pedestrian

During road projects, enhance appropriate crossings to include marked crosswalks, pedestrian signal phasing, and ADA-compliant accessibility features

Bicycle & Pedestrian

Install rapid flashing beacons on all unsignalized greenway trail crossings or directional crossings as appropriate at major thoroughfares.

Bicycle & Pedestrian

Incorporate the streamlined nomenclature for multi-use paths described in Chapter 4 to other Town planning and engineering documents.

Bicycle & Pedestrian

Post informational signage to inform and educate the community about the purpose and rules of a sidepath, greenway, etc.

Bicycle & Pedestrian

Create wayfinding signage that details the trip length to community destinations by bike or on foot to encourage travelers to step outside their vehicle

Bicycle & Pedestrian

Following the completion of the Town’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan, revisit the bicycle, pedestrian, and greenway recommendations within the Comprehensive Transportation Plan to determine if adjustments should be made to better accommodate the vision of that plan.

Bicycle, Pedestrian, & Transit

Update section 5.8 of the Unified Development Ordinance to specify the provision of supporting amenities for bicycle and pedestrian facilities that the Town desires within developments.

Transit

Remain engaged with the identification and prioritization of transit improvements at the County level.

Transit

Study potential routing, stop locations, ridership, and costs of a transit circulator with the intent to apply for funding through the Wake County Transit sales tax program.
