NEW: BUSINESS  I) US29 Corridor Study Presentation  Ms. Whitfield thanked the Council for allowing her to come and speak about the study that Kimley Horn and Associates prepared. She stated they started in June doing field work around town and also collected digital data. She stated the US 29 Corridor Study identifies strategies and recommendations for the Town. She stated there is nothing that is established announcing you have arrived in China Grove while traveling down Hwy 29.  255Page. Minute Book 7    She stated the proximity to Downtown and to Interstate 85 and redevelopment potential along the Corridor are some perks. She stated in a non Covid world they would have held in person workshops but they had to do an online survey to get feedback from the public. She stated 95 participants filled out the survey and 70-809 % of the people feel Hwy 29 has gotten worse from both a travel condition and land use stand point. She stated the town has more control over the Land Use and policy side. She stated by amending the current UDO and allowing for a mixture of uses, changing the approach on parking, a greater inference on the built environment, stronger design standards and more dynamic land scaping and buffer standards. She stated the current Land Use Plan has everything along the Corridor zoned as Industrial or Commercial. She stated there are perks to this but also limitations. She stated this does not allow for a modern type or more walkable type of development. She stated the UDO has a lot of parking minimums and she recommends to set parking maximums. She stated setting a parking maximum will change the way the Corridor appears. She stated this would need to be accompanied by the built environment characteristics. She stated these are the characteristics of where the building is on the lot and where the parking is on the lot. She stated the way the buildings and parking are laid out on the parcel has a big impact on the look and feel of the Corridor. She stated enhancing the streetscape, widening the sidewalks, requiring better lighting and adding aesthetic appeal to the buildings impact the look and feel as well. She stated adding menu or point system to streetscaping and landscaping for developers will give a variety shrubs and trees. She stated transportation strategies that are important to the Corridor are pedestrian accommodation, intersection improvements, gateway opportunities and increased connectivity opportunities in the ETJ as development happens. She stated the current CTP called for NCDOT standard 4D cross section. She stated this includes on street bike lanes and a standard five foot sidewalk. She stated NCDOT has introduce a new all ages concept and they recommend a multi-use path along the west side oft the corridor and sidewalk along the east side to accommodate bicycle and pedestrian traffic. She stated there is no good way to cross Hwy 29 even at the intersections. She stated they are recommending striped crosswalks and pedestrian signalization at the intersections to accommodate pedestrian and bicycle traffic. She stated the Church Street/Lentz Road intersection is the highest crash location along the corridor and is also where the truck traffic drops off due to Church Street running with Hwy 152. She stated NCDOT has a spot project there. She stated they recommend converting Lentz Road to a cul-de-sac and re-align with Centerview Street to create a square intersection. She stated this would give an opportunity to turn Centerview Street into a gateway to Downtown. She stated there are a lot of open driveways and curb cuts along Hwy 29 and have safety concerns associated with them. She stated a long-term vision for Hwy 29 is reduce conflict intersections. She stated a reduce conflict intersections control the movement at the intersection instead of widening the intersection. She stated this is a cost effective way toi improve capacity along the corridor without adding lanes. She stated China Grove has an opportunity to enhance the since of arrival to the town through gateway opportunities. She stated Centerview Street is al key opportunity with owning the parcel on the corner. Mr. Bringle asked what is the interaction with NCDOT and this study, have they embraced it. Ms. Whitfield Mayor Seaford stated Hwy 74 going towards Wilmington has several lanes like this study suggest and they seem to work very well with traffic flow. He stated this would be an advantage for Hwy 29. Mr. Linn stated having Centerview Street as a gateway into Town is a great addition we would benefit from Mr. Gover stated this plan helps support some of the projects that we have submitted to the TIP. He stated the Council passed some resolution of support for projects on Hwy 29 and one of the key questions that NCDOT ask is ifit is supported by a plan. He stated this plan would strengthen the towns case. Mr. Stroud asked now that we have the study what is the next process. Mr. Gover stated we are allowing for more public comment Mr. Gover stated we received or MS4 Audit on October 6, 2020.

Kirk Street, petition the City of China Grove to reduce the speed limit on this residential road (W. Kirk Street) from 35mph to 25mph. For the safety of both residents and drivers alike we feel strongly that the current speed limit of 35mph is too fast for this residential road.

Thankfully there were no fatalities, however, it easily could have been a much different outcome. We desire to see the speed limit lowered to protect our families and  pets.
