4h.Explain the purpose of the proposed project:*
The purpose of the proposed project is to improve capacity and facilitate safe and efficient multilmodal operations by widening the roadway,controlling left turn movements with a
median and directional crossovers,and installing striped bike lanes and sidewalks.
41.Describe the overall project in detail,including indirect impacts and the type of equipment to be used:*
The project will widen SR 2528(Julian Road,an existing local arterial/minor thoroughfare)between SR 2578(Klumac Road)/1-85 and U.S.601(Jake Alexander Boulevard)from a two-
lane ditch section(with approximate ROW width of 60-feet)to a four-lane,divided facility(on 110-ft ROW)with a 23-foot raised median,curb and gutter,5-foot striped bike lanes and
sidewalks on both sides of the roadway.Existing design speed of 50 mph will be retained with the proposed improvement of the facility to a major collector.A full movement traffic signal
is proposed at Julian Rd/Corporate Circle(South)/W.Ritchie Rd.and a directional median crossover is proposed at Corporate Circle(North)that allows northbound Ulturns and
southbound lefts onto Corporate Circle.A proposed triangular raised island will also create a yield condition for eastbound Jake Alexander Blvd.to southbound Julian Road right turns,
improving safety for traffic exiting Old Julian Road.Also,new,extended or restriped turn lanes at all intersections are proposed to expand storage.
In addition,the project includes addition of a sidewalk on the west side of Julian Road between Klumac Road/1-85 and SR 2667(Summit Park Drive).The portion of the project corridor
proposed to be widened(with median,sidewalks and bike lanes)extends from U.S.601(Jake Alexander Boulevard)to SR 2578(Klumac Rd&I-85)and is approximately 4,700 feet in
length.The portion of the project corridor proposed for sidewalk improvements only,extends from SR 2578(Klumac Rd&I-85)to SR 2667(Summit Park Drive),and is approximately
2,000 feet in length.
We do not anticipate indirect impacts since the project is widening of a new road,and no new access will be granted as a result of the widening project.Standard road building
equipment will be used.

E. Impact Justification and Mitigation
1.Avoidance and Minimization
1a.Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts in designing the project:
Avoidance and minimization of impacts to protected and valued resources were incorporated throughout the design process.A detailed delineation of
wetland and streams was initially performed to ensure the limitations of impacts to natural resources.As a result,proposed disturbance limits were
shifted to avoid impacts,where possible.
The initial design proposed an aerial sewer crossing at Town Creek.Ultimately,the Town Creek impacts were minimized by utilizing the existing
crossing of Town Creek in the proposed sewer design.Furthermore,in areas around and under Town Creek,all utilities will be installed via directional
bore.Wetland impacts have been further minimized by steepening fill slopes and elongating erosion control basins where appropriate.The project
erosion control plan has also been designed in accordance with Design Standards in Sensitive Watersheds.
lb.Specifically describe measures taken to avoid or minimize the proposed impacts through construction techniques:
In addition,implementation of NCDOT's Best Management Practices for the Protection of Surface Waters(BMPs)will minimize impacts to water
resources during the preconstruction,construction,maintenance,and repair situations.The existing 3-span bridge over Town Creek will be replaced
with a wider 2 span structure to minimize stream impacts.The water line across the main stem of Town Creek is proposed to be constructed using
horizontal directional drilling eliminating stream impacts at this location resulting from the utility crossing.As noted previously,the crossing of the SA
(UT to Town Creek)is permitted as a temporary impact in the event that a directional bore is not possible.Furthermore,the plans specify that there
will be no disturbance to the existing streambed outside of the utility location areas in SA(UT to Tow)Creek)that runs parallel the project.
