A. Announcements and Introductions
B. General Information
• TIP Description: NC 42 (East Main Street - Broadway Road), from US 421 (Horner Blvd.) in Sanford to
SR 1579 (Broadway Road - North Main Street) in Broadway, and along SR 1579
from NC 42 (Avents Ferry Road) to SR 1538 (Buckhorn Avenue) in Broadway.
Widen to three lanes, with turn-lanes at SR 1523 (Rice Road), SR 1529 (Cox Mill
Road) and SR 1579 (Broadway Road).
• Project Length: 5.4 miles
• Tvve of Document: Environmental Assessment (EA), unless impacts indicate a CE can be prepared.
• Purpose and Need: The purpose of the proposed project is to widen the exiting two-lane, two-way
facility to a three-lane, two-way facility, to improve the traffic carrying capacity of
NC 42 and SR 1579. The need for the proposed project is to reduce the current
accident potential along Broadway Road.
C. Existing Conditions
• Functional Classification: The section of NC 42 along the project is a Statewide Functional Class 4,
two-lane, two-way, Minor Arterial, with no control-of-access. The section of
SR 1579 along the project is a Statewide Functional Class 5, two-lane, two-
way, Major Collector, with no control-of-access. The facility posts a speed
limit of 45 to 35 mph, passing over gently rolling terrain and is not a
designated Strategic Highway Corridor. NC 42-SR 1579 (Broadway Road)
is listed as a Major Thoroughfare in the Triangle Area MPO 2035 LRTP and
needs improvement. The Lee County CTP designated this corridor as a
"Complete Street" project, providing for profiles that include curb & gutter,
sidewalks and planted medians.
• Local Concerns: The City of Sanford will soon adopt the Sanford Pedestrian Plan, addressing the
pedestrian needs of this corridor. A bicycle plan will likely be forthcoming and the
designation of a bike lane for this entire route is anticipated. Local concern has
been expressed regarding the potential impacts of this project on the Shallow Well
Church of Christ. This historic church property is along NC 42, just east of the
intersection with the US 421 Bypass, and includes cemeteries on both sides of NC
42, a parking lot in front of the church and a Boy Scout activity building.
The City of Sanford has requested a sidewalk for East Lee Middle School

• Adioining Projects: R-2417BB: The Sanford Bypass from SR 1002 to NC 42, including the
interchange with NC 42, is complete. R-2417C: The Sanford Bypass from NC
42 to NC 87, is under construction.
o Noise & Air Quality: Project construction should not be sufficient to moderate any intrusive traffic noise.
The project will not increase traffic volumes, so the impact on the noise and air
quality will not be significant. The project is in an Attainment area for carbon
dioxide.
® Development Along Project: Urban, no control-of-access. ROW along NC 42, SR 1579 and included
Y-lines will be purchased to accommodate additional lanes. This
proposed project, known locally as the Main Street / Broadway Road
Connector, links an urbanized area of Sanford with the Town of
Broadway. This segment of NC 42 - SR 1579 provides access to US
421, US 421 Bypass, major industrial employers, significant retail
activity, Lee County High School, East Lee County Junior High School,
the Civic Center and Central Carolina Community College.
C Structures: None; no major stream crossings exist within the project limits.
• Geotechnical: Thirteen sites within the project limits may contain petroleum underground storage
tanks (USTs). Four reported Ground Water Incident Sites are located within the
project limits. One Hazardous Substance Disposal Site or Superfund Area was
identified within the project limits. No Hazardous Waste Facilities, no apparent
landfills or no other geo-environmental concerns were identified within the project
limits. See the attached map for potential UST and other geo-environmental site
locations.
• Utilities: Moderate. Eight months will be needed to complete project utility adjustments. (Some areas
of sanitary sewer lines and natural gas lines exist along the project. Water, telephone, cable,
and electric lines exist throughout the project.)
• Lee I Sanford Schools Transportation Director: 25 school buses travel this section of East Main Street I
Broadway Road, per school day. (50 trips) Simple
lane closures and flagging would be acceptable during
the project construction.
• Traffic Volumes: The 2011 Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) for this section of NC 42 - SR 1579
ranges from 5,200 to 15,800 vehicles per day (VPD). The 2035 Annual Average Daily
.Traffic (AADT) for this section of NC 42 - SR 1579 is forecast to range from 7,100 to
26,400 vehicles per day (VPD).
• Crash Analysis: NC 42: The total vehicle exposure rate for this 2.92-mile section of NC 42 was 39.7
million vehicle miles traveled (MVMT). A total of 87 crashes were reported between
January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2010. The following table shows the comparison
of the crash rates for the analyzed section of NC 42 versus the 2006-2008 statewide
crash rates and the calculated rate. The current total, fatal, non-fatal, night and wet
crash rates are near or exceed the critical crash rates for similar type facilities. Rear
end crashes accounted for 38% (33 out of 87) of the overall reported crashes. These
crashes occurred predominately at intersections. Crashes occurring during wet
conditions accounted for 28% (25 out of 87) of the overall reported crashes within the
NC 42 section of the project limits. Eliminating or reducing congestion will potentially
reduce the incidence of rear end crashes. The installation of new pavement,

against which a calculated rate can be compared to see if the rate is above an average, far enough, so that something
besides chance must be the cause.
SR 1579: The total vehicle exposure rate for this 2.62-mile section of SR 1579 was
14.36 million vehicle miles traveled (MVMT). A total of 28 crashes were reported
between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2010. The following table shows the
comparison of the crash rates for the analyzed section of SR 1579 versus the 2006-
2008 statewide crash rates and the calculated rate. The current total, fatal, non-fatal,
and night crash rates for this section of SR 1579 are below the statewide and critical
crash rates for similar type facilities, although the wet conditions crash rates
substantially exceed the statewide crash rate. Lane-departure crashes, which
generally include run-off-road, fixed object head-on, sideswipe and overturn crashes,
comprised approximately 39% (11 out of 28) of the overall reported crashes within
this section of the project limits. The project should address lane-departure crashes
by widening the existing roadway, improving roadway super-elevation, widening
roadway shoulders, improving pavement delineation and extending the clear-zone
widths of SR 1579. The installation of new pavement, pavement markings, adequate
sight-distances and advance intersection warning signs may reduce the incidence of
crashes occurring during wet conditions.

D. Possible Environmental Concerns -Agency Comments
• SHPO: A GIS search revealed 13 known structures of historical or architectural importance within the
proposed project planning area. There are no known archaeological sites within the proposed
R-3830 planning area, so no archaeological investigation is recommended.

The known historic structures within the project limits are LE 0334: Shallow Well Christian
Church and Cemetery, LE 0335: House, LE 0752: Thomas House, LE 0775: Stevens Milling
Company, LE 0270: House and, potentially, LE 0267: Bank of Broadway. (Map attached.)
• NCWRC: No specific comments or concerns with R-3830, at this time.
• USACE: Environmental concerns the same as the NCDWQ concerns, listed below.
• Bike / Pedestrian: No bicycle needs are associated with R-3830. (This is a high-traffic, business /
industrial corridor)
• Natural Systems: NRTR has not yet been requested. Surveys will be conducted at the appropriate
times.
• Triangle Area RPO: NC 42-SR 1579 (North Main Street - Broadway Road) is the main route for this
area, from Sanford to Broadway. Current Lee County Zoning, from the project
beginning to the NC 42-SR 1579 intersection, includes Commercial-Business,
Light Industrial, Institutional, Residential and Residential-Agricultural Land Uses.
Current Lee County Zoning, from the NC 42-SR 1579 intersection to the project
end in Broadway, includes Commercial-Business, Light Industrial and
Residential-Agricultural Land Uses.
• Division of Water Quality: Preliminary project analysis reveals the potential for multiple impacts to
streams and jurisdictional wetlands in the project area, as shown in the
table below. Little Buffalo Creek is on the 303(d) list for impaired use for
aquatic life, due to biological integrity criteria. NCDWQ recommends that
the most protective sediment and erosion control BMPs be implemented,
in accordance with Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds, to reduce
the risk of nutrient runoff to Little Buffalo Creek. NCDWQ also requests
that road design plans provide treatment of stormwater runoff through
BMPs, as detailed in the most recent version of the NCDWQ Stormwater
Best Management Practices.
