1 0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1 1 Proposed Action
The North Carolina Turnpike Authority (NCTA) proposes to construct a project known as the Gaston
East West Connector which would be a controlled access toll road extending from 185 west of
Gastonia in Gaston County to 1485 near the Charlotte Douglas International Airport in
Mecklenburg County
The project is included in the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) 2009 2015
State Transportattion Improvement Program (STIP) as STIP Project U 3321 The project is known as
We GI1Wn ( DsVAWesVAConnecWU DnGDs We GDCCen 3D[NwDy This sWOy THeTi W We SUb &Va
the Gaston East West Connector
1 2 Project Purpose and Need
The purpose of the proposed action is to improve east west transportation mobility in the area
around the City of Gastonia between Gastonia and the Charlotte metropolitan area and
particularly to establish direct access between the rapidly growing areas of southeast Gaston County
and western Mecklenburg County The primary needs for the project are summarized belowW
• There is poor transportation connectivity between Gaston County and
Mecklenburg County and within southern Gaston County
• 1 imited crossings of the Catawba o aver constrain travel between Gaston and
Mecklenburg Counties No crossings are located in southern Gaston County
• Projected growth in southern Gaston County and western Mecklenburg County will
continue to increase demands for accessibility and connectivity between the two
counties
• Within southern Gaston County south of 185 a lack of connecting east west
roadways makes travel circuitous and limits mobility
• The GUAMPO and the MUMPO include a new location roadway running through
southern Gaston County and connecting over the Catawba o aver to Mecklenburg
County in their long range transportation plans
• The Gaston East West Connector is a state designated Strategic e ighway Corridor
envisioned as a new freeway facility on the Strategic e ighway Corridors s ision Plan
There are existing and projected poor levels of service on the ProMct StuGy Area s
major roadways
• Traffic volumes are projected to increase on 185 1485 US 29 T4 and US 321 in the
Project Study Area through 2030
• There are existing poor levels of service on segments of 185 in Gaston County from
Exit 19 (NC T [Ozark Avenue]) through Exit 2T (NC 2T3 [Park Street])
• i evels of service on 185 US 29 T4 and US 321 are projected to worsen in the future
GASTON EAST -WEST CONNECTOR
August 12, 2009 TEAC Meeting

• Congestion and frequent incidents on 185 inhibit regional travel and diminish the
ability of 185 to function as a Strategic e ighway Corridor and Intrastate Corridor
Several performance measures were used in the first screening of various alternative concepts to
evMIN WeiUMOW W P eeVWie SUMeW SuLSose incOLGng We eI3WwesVP oFaQW DnGQUcW
access components as stated above To evaluate their ability to meet the purpose and need
alternative concepts were evaluated to determine whether they wouldW
• o educe travel distances and/or travel times between representative origin/destination
points within southern Gaston County and between southern Gaston County and
Mecklenburg County
Provide a transportation facility with a mainline that would operate at acceptable levels
of service (generally 1 OS D or better on the mainline) in the design year (2030) for
travel between Gaston County and Mecklenburg County
• o educe congested vehicle miles traveled and /or congested vehicle hours traveled in
Gaston County compared to the No Build Alternative in 2030
1 3 Project Status
The Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Gaston East West Connector (STIP Project U
3321) was signed on April 24 2009 and made availEM IoUSuE c MGDgency Uview on 1 CTA s

The Gaston East West Connector project is located in the Charlotte Gastonia o ock e ill air quality
region (Metrolina region) The Metrolina region continues to face challenges in meeting the
requirements of federal air quality laws These requirements do not prevent ongoing studies from
continuing but they have the potential to delay federal approval of transportation projects in the
region including the Gaston East West Connector To prevent such delays federal and state air
quality and transportation agencies are continuing to work together to resolve the air quality issues
so that planned transportation projects can move forward c e WA and NCTA will provide an

The mainline design speed is TO miles per hour (mph) with a planned posted speed limit of 65 mph
Each DSA currently is proposed to have 11 to 12 interchanges (depending upon the DSA) as listed
below from west to east
• I85
• US 29 T4
• 1 Inwood o d (So 1133)
• 1 ewes o d (So 1126) (DSAs
58 64 and 68 only)
• US 321
• o obinson o d (So 2416)
• Bud Wilson o d (So 2423)
• NC 2T4 (Union o d)
• NC 2T9 (South New e ope o d)
• NC 2T3 (Southpoint o d)
• Dixie o aver o d (So 1155)
• 1485
In addition to the twelve new location build DSAs the No Build Alternative was retained to provide
a baseline for comparison with the DSAs in accordance with National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) regulations (40 Cc o Part 1502 14(d)) and c e WA guidelines (Technical Advisory T 6640 8A
Section s E 1) The No Build Alternative assumes that the transportation systems for Gaston and
Mecklenburg counties would evolve as currently planned in their respective i ong o ange
Transportation Plans but without the Gaston East West Connector or mayor capacity improvements

1 6 Recommended Alternative
Based on the information available to date including the Draft EIS the c e WA NCTA and NCDOT
have identified DSA 9 as the o ecommended Alternative in the Draft EIS This alternative is
comprised of Corridor Segments e 2A e 3 g4a g4b g2c g2d gu4 gle glf h lA h 3A h 3B h 3C as
shown in c figure S la b in Appendix A
DSA 9 has been identified as the o ecommended Alternative based on the following considerations
Please note this list is not in order of importance but is organized by issues as they are presented in
the Draft EIS Also this list does not represent all benefits or impacts of DSA 9 dust those elements
that differentiated DSA 9 when compared to the other DSAs
Cost and Design Considerations
• DSA 9 is one of the shortest alternatives at 219 miles (all alternatives range from 214 to 23 T
miles)
• DSA 9 has the second lowest median total cost (Al 282 million) (all alternatives range from
Al 281 million to Al 3T8 4 million)
e uman Environment Considerations
• DSA 9 is one of the four DSAs with the fewest numbers of residential relocations at 348
residential relocations (the range being 326 to 384 residential relocations)
GASTON EAST -WEST CONNECTOR
August 12 2009 TEAC Meeting

• Although DSA 9 is higher in the range of business relocations at 37 (the range being 24 to 40
business relocations) it would avoid impacts to Carolina Specialty Transport (provides
transportations services to special needs groups) that would occur under DSAs 58 64 68 76
77 and 81
• DSA 9 is in the middle of the range of total neighborhood impacts at 25 impacted
neighborhoods (the range being 21 to 31 impacted neighborhoods)
• DSA 9 would have no direct impacts to schools (DSAs 5 23 and 27 also avoid direct impacts
to schools )
• DSA 9 would not require relocation of known cemeteries (DSAs 27 68 and 81 also would not
require relocation of known cemeteries )
• At Linwood Road DSA 9 is one of three alternatives (DSAs 4 5 and 9) that would avoid
impacting either the Karyae Park YMCA Outdoor Family Center or the Pisgah Associate
Reformed Presbyterian Church (part of the church property is also an historic site eligible for
listing on the National Register of Historic Places)
• DSA 9 is one of the three alternatives (DSAs 4 5 and 9) farthest from Crowdeis Mountain
State Park
• DSA 9 would avoid right of way requirements from Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden (DSAs 4
22 27 58 68 76 and 81 also avoid these right of way requirements )
• DSA 9 would avoid the relocation of Ramoth AME Zion Church and cemetery which is part of
the Garrison Road/Dixie River Road community (DSAs 4 22 27 58 68 76 and 81 also
avoid this church)
• DSA 9 is one of the eight alternatives (DSAs 4 9 22 27 58 68 76 and 81) with the least
amount of right of way required from future Berewick District Park in Mecklenburg County
• DSA 9 is one of the alternatives (DSAs 4 5 9 22 23 and 27) that would impact the least
acreage of land in Voluntary Agricultural Districts DSA 9 also is one that is expected to
have the least indirect and cumulative effects to farmlands
Physical Environment Considerations
• DSA 9 is in the middle range of estimated numbers of receptors impacted by traffic noise at
245 receptors (the range being 204 to 309 impacted receptors)
• DSA 9 is one of the alternatives with the fewest power transmission line crossings at 14
crossings (the range being 13 to 18)
Cultural Resources Considerations
• DSA 9 is one of six alternatives (DSAs 4 5 9 22 23 and 2 7) that would not require right of
way from the Wolfe Family Dairy Farm historic site Selection of DSA 9 makes it more likely
that if the US 321 Bypass is constructed at some future time the project would also avoid
the Wolfe Family Dairy Farm historic site
• DSA 9 is one of four alternatives (DSAs 5 9 23 and 27) with low to moderate potential to
contain archaeological sites requiring preservation in place or complex/costly mitigation
Natural Resources Considerations
• DSA 9 is one of eight alternatives (DSAs 4 9 22 27 58 68 76 and 81) that would cross the
South Fork Catawba River and the Catawba River where the rivers have been more affected
GASTON EAST -WEST CONNECTOR
August 12 2009 TEAC Meeting

by siltation and they are less navigable and water based recreation would be affected less
than with DSAs that cross farther south
• DSA 9 would impact the least amount of upland forested natural communities at 882 acres
(all alternatives range from 882 to 1042 acres)
• DSA 9 is one of the alternatives (DSAs 4 9 22 and T6) having the lowest potential to
indirectly affect upland wildlife species due to habitat fragmentation
• DSA 9 is lower in the range of impacts to ponds at 4 1 acres (all alternatives range from 2 1 to
6 3 acres)
• DSA 9 is lower in the range of impacts to wetlands at T 5 acres (all alternatives range from
6 9 to 13 2 acres)
• DSA 9 is lower in the range of impacts to perennial streams at 38 894 linear feet (all
alternatives range from 36 T 1 to 50 T39 linear feet)
• DSA 9 would have the fewest number of stream crossings at 91 (all alternatives range from 91
to 120 crossings)
• DSA 9 is one of eight alternatives (DSAs 5 9 23 2T 64 68 TT and 81) that have a biological
conclusion of No Effect relating to the federally endangered 6chwelniWs sunIGweU

While selection of a Preferred Alternative is not by popular vote it is noted that of the 153 comment
forms and 63 emails received 58 were specifically in favor of the project and/or selection of Detailed
Study Alternative (DSA) 9 and 129 were specifically opposed to the project overall and/or selection of
DSA 9 Please note that most comments received did not state a DSA preference but the majority
was against the project Generally of the public comments received there were twice as many
commenters who stated they opposed the project compared to those who supported the project
Based on a review of the comments listed below in no specific order are general issues that were
found to be frequently stated in the comments received
• A new connection across the river is needed
• DSA 9 is a reasonable choice
• The road will encourage needed economic development
• The project should provide sidewalks at cross streets
• Ending the project at US 321 will adversely impact traffic on this overcrowded roadway and
will bring trucks through the historic v ork Chester neighborhood
• The Garden Parkway will only benefit developers and land owners especially David e oyle
and o obert Pittenger
• The Garden Parkway costs too much and this money should be spent on education
• The Garden Parkway is not the best use of taxpayer dollars
• Air quality is bad in the region and this project will not help
• The Garden Parkway will spur more development and urban sprawl There will not be
enough money to build schools and other facilities associated with development
• This project will change the rural character of Gaston County that the residents have chosen
• This road will be another Greenville South Carolina Toll o oad
3 0 SUMMARY OF PREVIOUS AGENCY COORDINATION MEETINGS
Agency coordination meetings have been held throughout the project development process to receive
comments on project studies achieve concurrence points and solicit issues and concerns from the
Agency Coordination Team The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) held
meetings with the NEPA/404 Merger Team from 2002 through 2005 to achieve Concurrence Points 1
and 2
GASTON EAST -WEST CONNECTOR
August 12, 2009 TEAC Meeting

The NCTA initiated regularly scheduled monthly meetings referred to as Turnpike Environmental
Agency Coordination (TEAL) meetings to review the status of the current NCTA projects
environmental concerns and permitting requirements TEAC meetings regarding the Gaston East
West Connector have been held from 2006 through 2008 In addition NCTA held two meetings to
discuss the scope of the indirect and cumulative effects analysis (gune 29 200T with US c ish and
Wildlife Service (USc WS) and NC Wildlife o esources Commission (NCWo C) and guly 26 200T
with NC Division of Water nuality (NCDWn))
The first and second screenings of alternatives were originally discussed with the environmental
resource and regulatory agencies through the NEPA/404 Merger 01 Process under the
administration of the NCDOT A series of eight meetings regarding project alternatives were held
from c ebruary 2004 through September 2005 resulting in concurrence on the DSAs on September
20 2005 At that time three agencies (US Environmental Protection Agency [USEPAJ [USc WSJ
and [NCWo CJ) elected to abstain rather than expressing concurrence or non concurrence in the
DSAs
After the initial concurrence was achieved on the DSAs in September 2005 the c e WA and NCTA
reevaluated the alternatives screening process in light of the project being determined a candidate
toll facility and the receipt of updated travel demand forecasts The c e WA and NCTA coordinated
with the environmental resource and regulatory agencies on this reevaluation at several TEAC
meetings held in ganuary gune and September 200T and c ebruary guly September and October
2008 The environmental resource and regulatory agencies confirmed concurrence on the DSAs at
the October 2008 TEAC meeting and the concurrence form is included in Appendix A 1 of the Draft
EIS The three agencies that previously had abstained the USEPA USc WS and NCWo C
concurred at this stage along with all the other cooperating and participating agencies

4 0 MINIMIZATION EFFORTS AND IMPACT REDUCTIONS
The DSAs incorporate measures to avoid and minimize impacts to Waters of the United States and
the Catawba o aver buffers The horizontal alignment of the preliminary engineering designs was
adjusted where possible to minimize or avoid impacts to streams wetlands and ponds
The presence of wetlands and streams and minimizing or avoiding impacts to these resources was a
factor in considering interchange configurations Bridge lengths that were extended to maintain
roadway and railway access adjacent to the Catawba o aver and South c ork Catawba o aver also
avoided or minimized encroachment into Catawba o aver buffer areas
To further address avoidance and minimization the NCTA met with the environmental resource and
regulatory agencies at TEAC Meetings on c ebruary 5 March 4 and April 8 2008 to discuss
EUGging MGDQgnP enVNGecisions IOUWe D6As SUOP inDLk engineering Gesigns (Concullknce
Point 2a)
As a result of those meetings there were no changes to the alignments of any of the DSAs e owever
the NCTA agreed to include several bridges in the preliminary engineering designs beyond those
required to convey floodwaters to avoid or minimize stream and wetland impacts Table Pshows
locations where bridges are recommended to avoid or minimize stream and wetland impacts along
with the estimated impact reduction associated with each bridge
Based on the information in the table the additional bridging along DSA 9 (o ecommended
Alternative) reduced stream impacts by 940 linear feet and wetland impacts by 1 5 acres

5 0 SUMMARY OF COMMENTS RECEIVED RELATED TO THE DRAFT EIS AND
SELECTION OF THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE
This section discusses substantial as well as other comments relative to the Draft EIS and /or
selection of the Preferred Alternative Comments received from state and federal agencies local
governments and interest groups and organizations during the comment period for the Draft EIS
are included in Appendices C a and E respectively Substantive comments received are grouped
under ten categories as listed in Table 4
As of August 5 2009 no written comments were received from the USACE a cooperating agency
USAGE received four comment letters in response to their Section 404 public notice 1 etters were
received by the USACE from Mr gohn Medlin Ms e eather Pierce Mr Bill Toole and the Southern
Environmental i aw Center (SE1 Q Comments from these letters are summarized in Appendix c
These four commenters also sent letters to the NCTA The letter from SE1 C was the same as the
letter sent to the NCTA The letters from Mr Medlin Ms Pierce and Mr Toole were slightly
different All relevant comments from these letters are included in Table 4 below
Table 4 Summary of Comments Related to the Draft EIS and Selection of the Preferred
Alternative
Topic
Comments
Purpose and Need
The project will not improve traffic flow on 1 85 US 321 US 29 and US 74 and it may increase
(comments received
congestion in the future
only from the public
The stated need to connect southern Gaston County and western Mecklenburg County is not
on this topic)
supported by quantifiable data
The Draft EIS fails to show that an additional bridge over the Catawba River would respond to any
existing mobility need south of the existing bridges
NCTA cannot reconcile its mandate to build specific toll road projects with federal law
Rather than identifying an underlying purpose that the project might fulfill the Draft EIS restates
the specific project design that meets the E CdA s mandate to build the Garden Parkway toll road
The resulting project purpose is too narrow to support consideration of the reasonable range of
alternatives required by NEPA
Travel Times and
The Draft EIS traffic projections predict that the new toll highway would cause further traffic
Traffic Forecasts
congestion on much of 1 85 and US 29/74
The Draft EIS presents inflated estimates of traffic volumes in the project area which make the
need for the connector seem greater than it is
There appears to be little to no change in travel time savings from most of Gaston County and the
project study area
Range of
The Draft EIS disregards the TSM and Mass Transit Alternatives and did not provide a full range of
Alternatives
reasonable alternatives
Objectives could be reached by improvements to 1 85 (including widening and HOT lanes) interim
TSM approaches to US 29 and US 74 and other combinations of transportation improvements
The Draft EIS did not consider improvements to the area s transit and freight rail facilities as an
alternative
The Draft EIS does not address how a combination of alternatives might be able to meet purpose
and need
The Draft EIS should have studied ending the project at US 321 if that is an interim phase
The decision to study only toll alternatives in the EIS is not consistent with the CEQ regulations at
40 CFR 1502 14(a) and (c) The EIS might have also considered a comparison with a freeway

Table 4 Summary of Comments Related to the Draft EIS and Selection of the Preferred
Alternative
Topic
Comments
Air Quality
Prior to issuance of the FEIS and ROD NCTA should demonstrate that the new location project will
be included in an approved SIP and will be in conformity
The Draft EIS does not address quantitative air quality impacts as they relate to Mobile Source Air
Toxics
The Draft EIS does not offer any mitigation measures to address the project s impact on air quality
specifically concerning MSAT emissions exposure at schools hospitals parks etc
The EIS should address greenhouse gas emissions
Water Quality and
Concerns about sediment and erosion impacts that could result from this project Erosion control
Jurisdictional
measures should adhere to the Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds
Resources
The possible effects of storm water runoff associated with this project could negatively affect the
project area
Concerns about the amount of mitigation needed and that it will not be available in the area every
effort should be made to further avoid and minimize impacts to streams and wetlands and to
provide on site mitigation Mitigation should focus on improving degraded streams in the area
Direct impacts to existing 303(d) listed impaired streams and other waters at risk from further
degradation have not been fully addressed from the standpoint of avoidance and minimization
(e g right of way and median widths shoulder widths etc )
A conceptual mitigation plan should be provided in the Final EIS with information about on site
mitigation opportunities
Indirect and
The Draft EIS has no specific discussion of mitigation for indirect and cumulative impacts
Cumulative Effects
There are no quantitative data presented in the Draft EIS concerning potential ICE to wetlands
streams water quality and wildlife habitat
A quantitative ICE analysis should be prepared for the Preferred Alternative
The Guidance Memorandum to Address and Mitigate Secondary and Cumulative Impacts to
Aquatic and Terrestrial Wildlife Resources and Water Quality should be consulted when developing
Mitigation measures
Wildlife
Negative impacts to terrestrial resources and wildlife including fragmentation of terrestrial habitat
are a significant concern
Cultural Resources
The Draft EIS missed the subject of historic Stowesville Stowes Factory Gaither Mill Stowesville
Cemetery and the old Methodist church
Community
EJ populations would receive a higher percent of impact from the new facility in terms of air quality
Characteristics
and noise impacts but would not necessarily receive a proportionate benefit from the project due
to potential toll costs
Farmland
The Draft EIS does not offer any potential avoidance and minimization measures to potentially
reduce impacts to farmlands
Concerns about the availability of replacement property for farms that need to be relocated
The following additional studies will be completed and discussed with agencies prior to completing
the Final EIS
• Updated traffic forecasts
• Findings of detailed archaeological field surveys
• Mainline and crossroad design refinements and associated changes in right of way and
impacts in response to comments on the Draft EIS as well as addition and modification of
service roads
• Additional indirect and cumulative effects analysis including quantitative land use study for
the Preferred Alternative
• Conceptual mitigation plan including options for onsite mitigation

6 0 SUMMARY OF DESIGN COMMENTS
As a result of the public involvement activities associated with the project several issues were raised
regarding the preliminary designs for the DSAs These issues described below were raised by
public local municipalities interest groups and agencies Unless otherwise noted the comments
apply to DSA 9 (Recommended Alternative)
6 1 Design Comments Received from the Public and Interest Groups
These comments and proposed actions were discussed at the Gaston East West Connector Post
Hearing Meeting held August 4 2009
Matthews Acres Access Road
Matthews Acres residents appear to prefer different access to US 29 74 instead of the access to Oates
Road shown on the Public Hearing Maps Some Pre Hearing Open House attendees suggested
connecting to US 29 74 directly south
NCTA will investigate alternative means of access to the Matthews Acres neighborhood and will
coordinate with residents
Pam Drive and Saddlewood Drive (south of Robinson Road interchanLre
Residents were concerned about closing Pam Drive and rerouting their access to Robinson Road via
the Saddlewood neighborhood Concerns included additional driving distance and sight distance at
the Saddlewood Road/Robinson Road intersection Some suggested keeping Pam Drive open and
connecting it directly across from the interchange ramp Residents also were concerned about the
visual impacts of an access control fence in front of their neighborhood
NCTA will review sight distances at the Saddlewood Road/Robinson Road intersection under the
proposed designs Design changes will be made if necessary
Land North of Interchange at Robinson Road
Property owners on either side of Robinson Road directly north of the interchange commented on the

as well as approaching close to their home
NCTA will investigate interchange design changes to miminize impacts to the horse farm These
include moving the ramp to a loop on the east side of Robinson Road or shifting the interchange

driveway approximately 700 feet away
As a separate issue the railroad bridge over Robinson Road near US 321 was discussed at the Post
Hearing Meeting (August 4 2009) This bridge narrows Robinson Road to one lane and it constrains
traffic movements along Robinson Road The previous traffic forecasts did not account for this
condition but new forecasts being prepared will Mr Grissom stated Division 12 would like to
replace this bridge but it is owned by the railroad and costs are prohibitive at this time

Wilson Farm Road Lust south of Union Road (NC 274)
Property owners (Margaret and Bob Ferguson) own 140 acres (162 Wilson Farm Rd Parcel ID
193024) Preliminary designs would result in a narrow strip of land on the north end of the parcel
being divided from the rest of the parcel Owners wanted to know if mainline could be shifted north
No action is proposed regarding this request If the mainline is shifted north it would impact a large
wetland area (Wetland 189 shown on Figure 2 9v of the Draft EIS)
Carolina Speedway. on NC 274 just south of Union New Hope Road
The property owners (Charles Harrison and Harriet Harrison Armstrong) asked if DSA 9 could be
moved north to avoid the Carolina Speedway and homes They are concerned with impacts to
racetrack parking and pit area
The mainline alignment for DSA 9 cannot be moved north due to intersection spacing concerns with
Union New Hope Road However NCTA will investigate measures to minimize impacts to the
Carolina Speedway Mr Harrison and Ms Armstrong own a 63 acre parcel to the east of the
Speedway There is a possibility that this additional property could be used to relocate some of the
functions /uses that would be encroached on by the proposed designs for DSA 9
Interchange at NC 273
The property at 2030 Southpoint Road (NC 273) (Rhonda Harmon) is adjacent to the eastbound off
ramp The property owner was concerned about being landlocked Another property owner in
Graystone Estates concerned about providing sidewalks on Southpoint Road for high school students
traveling to Southpoint High School
The NCTA will be conducting a service road study for the Preferred Alternative which will review
land locked properties Sidewalks will be added to cross streets where appropriate and can be
funded The traffic signals proposed at the interchange ramp termini will provide for gaps in traffic
to allow for turning movements onto Southpoint Road
Sunderland Road/Allison Street off of NC 273 south of the proposed interchange
A resident of Sunderland Road asked if the new access point for Sunderland Road onto NC 273 could
be moved north approximately 800 feet Another resident was concerned that school buses traveling
into the neighborhood will not be able to turn around Currently school buses do not need to turn
around to exit the neighborhood
The NCTA will investigate modifying the Sunderland Road access to NC 273 and will review the
designs to ensure school bus access is provided
Boat Club Road and Access_ to the Optimist Club/Duke Energy Recreational Fields
The Optimist Club leases land on Boat Club Road from Duke Power for youth recreational fields
The Optimist Club recently made improvements and expanded the fields The preliminary
engineering designs shown on the Public Hearing Map encroach on the expanded fields The
Optimist Club is concerned about impacts to the fields and provision of access to the fields
The NCTA has modified the preliminary engineering designs to avoid direct encroachment on the
expanded recreational fields These modified designs also avoided two electric power towers A
letter dated gune 18 2009 was sent from NCTA to Mr h elvin Reagan Optimist Club President
describing the design changes This memorandum also included a map of the new design These
modifications will be included in the Final EIS Access to the fields will be investigated as part of

General Pedestrian and Bicycle Access Comments
Connect Gaston and Gaston Together submitted comments regarding sidewalks and greenways
throughout the project
• Bridges over streams should be constructed in a manner that allows future walking and
bike paths to pass beneath them
• All bridges over roads and interchanges with roads be constructed with sidewalks
(north south) that allow access from one side of the thoroughfare to the other
• All sidewalks should be constructed sufficient in width to allow foot bike wheelchair
and stroller traffic to travel in both directions simultaneously
• Bridges over the South Fork and Catawba Rivers should be constructed with provisions
for pedestrians to cross the rivers
• Bridges at Blackwood Creek Brandon Creek Catawba Creek and an unnamed
perennial branch dust south of the US 29/74 interchange should be designed to allow
greenway construction
• There is a greenway planned to follow a section of Crowders Creek south of Linwood
Road that should be taken into consideration
During final design the NCTA will work with local jurisdictions to provide sidewalks and other
crossings where appropriate and can be funded

Recommended Alternative DSA 9)
The access road proposed to provide access to remaining homes on the south end of Bayshore Drive
would connect Bayshore Drive to Magnolia Way Lane in Woodland Bay which would then allow
drivers to access South New Hope Road via Woodland Bay Drive Woodland Bay is a gated
community whose roads are privately owned This proposed access to loin Bayshore Drive to a
development that is not part of the Woodland Bay Homeowners Association
If a Preferred Alternative is identified that includes Segment h 4A (DSAs R, 23 64 or 77) the service

6 2 Design Comments Received from Agencies and Local Governments
US 29 74 Interchange
The US 29 74 Interchange should be eliminated to reduce impacts to wetlands and Crowders Creek
(a 303(d) listed stream) and its tributaries
The NCTA NCDOT and FHWA will make a decision regarding this interchange prior to the Final
EIS after completing new traffic forecasts Previous coordination with the GUAMPO had indicated
they could agree to the elimination of the US 29 74 interchange
Interchanges at Robinson Road Bud Wilson Road, NC 274 (Union Rd), NC 273 (Southpoint
Road), and 1485
Single Point Urban Interchanges (SPUIs) or other compressed interchange designs should be
considered at Robinson Road Bud Wilson Road NC 274 (Union Road) NC 273 (Southpoint Road)
and 1485
As part of final design the NCTA will review updated traffic forecasts and work with the GUAMPO
and MUMPO to determine if any interchanges can be eliminated or deferred Also during final
design the NCTA will review the listed interchanges to determine if the interchange footprints can
be reduced
Bud Wilson Road Interchange
The GUAMPO has requested that the Bud Wilson Road interchange be removed or relocated to an
extension of Beaty Road
The NCTA NCDOT and FHWA will make a decision regarding deleting or relocating this
interchange prior to publication of the Final EIS
Future Belmont Mt Holly Loop
The GUAMPO requests that a grade separation be provided for the future proposed Belmont Mt
Holly Loop Road to be located west of Southpoint Road (NC 273)
Since the Belmont Mt Holly Loop is a proposed Road its exact location is not known and its
construction would be a separate project The NCTA would allow grade separated crossings of the
mainline to be funded and constructed by others in the future
Access to Charlotte Douglas International Airport Area
The MUMPO and the Charlotte Douglas International Airport have requested that access be
provided east of 1485 to the roadways north of relocated NC 160 (West Boulevard) to accommodate
WHAIlSI1t,W UznwDy I-kSDasI1n SLRWVDnGIuWLHLaNRP FMOUXICEY
The NCTA will work with the Airport Charlotte DOT and MUMPO during final design to ensure
access is provided
Mainline Typical Section
Agency commenters suggested reviewing the proposed typical sections for ways to reduce the
construction footprint A recommendation was made to maintain the median width but narrow the
GASTON EAST -WEST CONNECTOR
August 12 2009 TEAC Meeting
17

footprint for a 4 lane facility to minimize impacts to area resources A wider right of way could be
preserved for possible future widening but additional impacts to streams and wetland should be
avoided until such widening occurs
The NCTA will review the typical sections during final design A workshop to discuss potential ways
to reduce the costs and impacts of the project is scheduled for August 26 2009
7 0 TRAFFIC FORECASTS
The April 13 2006 version of the 2030 Metrolina travel demand model was used for all year 2030
project related traffic forecasts because this was the current version when the updated forecasting
activities began The 2030 Metrolina travel demand model covers a thirteen county region
(including Gaston County and Mecklenburg County) within a single model The 2030 Metrolina
travel demand model also uses population and land use forecasts that extend out to 2030 The
Metrolina travel demand model is updated on a continual basis
year 2030 Toll Scenario traffic volumes were developed by modeling three representative DSAs
DSA 4 (the northernmost DSA) DSA 64 (the southernmost) and DSA 77 (a crossover DSA) A
review of the Non Toll Scenario forecasts showed that these three representative alternatives would
provide the full range of volumes forecasted along the DSAs and all DSAs are represented by
various portions of these three DSAs Table 5 shows the forecasted 2030 Toll Scenario traffic
volumes along the mainline for DSAs 4 64 and 77 The Recommended Alternative DSA 9 is most
closely represented by DSA 4 in the table below
