Local and NCDOT adoption STUDY APPROACHPLAN GOALS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2020, the Transportation Planning Division of the N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT), Brunswick County, its municipalities, Cape Fear RPO and Grand Strand Transportation Study MPO began a Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) study for Brunswick County. The Brunswick County CTP includes identified transportation system needs, as well as possible solutions, to support anticipated growth and development over a 25 to 30-year timeframe. Various modes of transportation were evaluated, and recommendations made, including: highway, public transportation, bicycle/pedestrian. The impact of other modes of travel, such as airports and ferries, play significant roles in moving people and freight in North Carolina and in the CTP. The Brunswick County CTP was adopted locally and by the North Carolina Board of Transportation in MONTH, 20XX. This plan does not cover routine maintenance or minor operations issues. Refer to Appendix X for contact information on these types of issues.

The CTP is mutually adopted and identifies transportation system needs, as well as solutions, to support anticipated growth and development over a 25-30-year timeframe. Chapter ONE Introductions and Overview PURPOSE AND OVERVIEW This plan is developed by NCDOT, Brunswick County and Municipalities, Cape Fear RPO, Grand Strand Area Transportation Study MPO and local planning partners with the support of the Brunswick County CTP Steering Committee. The CTP supports the community’s adopted vision and goals by integrating land use and transportation planning. This plan should be used by local officials to ensure that planned transportation facilities reflect the needs of the public, while minimizing the disruption to local residents, businesses and environmental resources. The CTP process is designed to provide useful information into the project development process. When starting a CTP study, officials form a steering committee of individuals who represent the various stakeholders of the community. NCDOT and other local planning staff also participate. The committee develops the draft vision, goals, objectives, and performance measures. These are further refined with input from residents and then used to guide the development and evaluation of the CTP. The CTP vision, goals, and objectives are developed based on input of the public involvement process and help identify how residents in an area would like to develop the transportation system. The Brunswick County Steering Committee brought local knowledge and perspective to develop the vision, goals and objectives for the CTP. Those were then further refined with input from the CTP survey. The vision, goals and objectives are used to guide the development of the CTP Project Recommendations.

To meet future travel demand, reliable forecasts of future travel patterns are needed to estimate congestion. For highways, this is usually accomplished through mainly a capacity deficiency analysis (which is a measure of how the facility is operating based on existing and project traffic) and a traffic crash analysis. For multimodal uses, the distance between destinations, and roadway characteristics, are key components. This information, along with population growth, economic development potential, and land use trends is used to determine the potential impacts on the future transportation system.

Public input was an overarching component of this plan, collected through multiple avenues and methods. This plan will affect those who live, work, own a business, play, and/or enjoy leisure activities in Brunswick County. Feedback from the public guided the creation of this plan’s project recommen- dations. A full summary of public outreach can be found in the Appendix X. Throughout the course of the study, the NCDOT Transportation Planning Division cooperatively worked with the Brunswick County CTP Steering Committee. The committee provided information on current local plans, developed transportation vision and goals, discussed population and employment projections, and put forth CTP project recommendations. COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDING A Community Understanding Report (CUR) was created which summarized local information about population, employment, expected growth areas, schools, and transportation methods. This report can be found in the Appendix X. TYPES OF PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT USED The project team set a goal to reach as many residents as possible and hear from diverse communities and stakeholders. Equal opportunities regardless of race, color, national origin, limited English proficiency, income, sex, age, or disability were provided during the development of the CTP. More information can be found in Appendix X. The steering committee was involved during the process using:  Committee meetings  E-mail and phone  Surveys  Public Involvement Sessions The public was involved using:  Study website  Electronic newsletters  Physically passing out surveys at Covid vaccine locations  Surveys (English and Spanish, online, paper)  Facebook/social media notices  Coverage in local newspapers  Public Meetings  Draft and final plan presentations More information can be found in Appendix X WHAT WE HEARD CH A P T E R T W O EX I S T I N G A N D F U T U R E C O N D I T I O N S CH A P T E R T W O EX I S T I N G A N D F U T U R E C O N D I T I O N S Highway Bicycle Pedestrian Rail Public Transit Ferry 10 BRUNSWICK COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN MARCH 20239 BRUNSWICK COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN MARCH 2023 COMMUNITY DEMOGRAPHIC / LAND USE TRENDS In developing this plan, the timeframe used to project travel demand was from 2017 to 2045. More information can be found in the Appendix about the methodology that was used to project the population and employment to 2045. Growth in Brunswick County is expected to occur in areas surrounding the existing municipalities as well as the U.S. 17, N.C. 87 and N.C. 211 corridors. Most municipalities consist of residential land use. Additionally, there is an abundance of environmentally sensitive areas. NC State Statute §136-66.2 specifically states that NCDOT may participate in the development and adoption of a CTP when all governments within the area covered by the plan have adopted land development plans adopted within the previous five years. The Brunswick County CAMA Core Land Use plan meets that requirement. The following table shows specific highlights, and not a comprehensive list, of the transportation net- work. More detail, if applicable, can be found elsewhere in this chapter. TRANSPORTATION NETWORK SUMMARY An important stage in the development of a CTP is the analysis of the existing transportation system and its ability to serve the area’s travel demand. 91,807 169,821 42,164 63,481 Primary North-South Roadways U.S. 17 Primary East-West Roadways N.C. 87 Strategic Transportation Corridors U.S. 17/U.S. 74 Public Transportation Services (Demand Response) Brunswick Transit System Fixed Route Bus N/A General Aviation Airports Cape Fear Regional Jetport Odell Williamson Municipal Airport Brunswick Media Center Helliport Park and Ride Lots N/A Freight Railroads MRSX, CSX Transportation Passenger Railroads N/A Primary Freight Movement U.S. 17, N.C. 87, N.C. 211 Sidewalks Existing sidewalks are in Southport, Shallotte, Calabash, and Sunset Beach Bicycle Lanes Existing bike lanes are in Southport, Sunset Beach, and Oak Island Statewide Bicycle Routes N.C. 3 going from South Carolina/Brunswick County line to Southport and Oak Island Greenways East Coast Greenway Ferries Southport to Fort Fisher CH A P T E R T W O EX I S T I N G A N D F U T U R E C O N D I T I O N S CH A P T E R T W O EX I S T I N G A N D F U T U R E C O N D I T I O N S 2017 POPULATION 2045 PROJECTED POPULATION 2017 EMPLOYMENT 2045 PROJECTED EMPLOYMENT Each mode of travel covered by a comprehensive transportation plan has been independently analyzed for both current and forecast conditions. 11 12 BRUNSWICK COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN BRUNSWICK COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN MARCH 2023 MARCH 2023 Planning Level Traffic Crash Assessment Traffic crashes are often used as an indicator for locating congestion and roadway problems. Safety is at the core of the NCDOT’s mission of connecting people, products, and places; and therefore, there are several ongoing programs and initiatives within NCDOT that specifically address safety. The location in Brunswick County which crashes occurred between January 2014 and December 2018 are shown on the Planning Level Crash Locations Map in the Appendix. A total of 130 intersections and 460 roadway segments were identified as having a high frequency of crashes. Refer to the Appendix for traffic crash assessment information. Roadway System Capacity Deficiencies Comparing roadway demand (vehicle volumes) to roadway supply (carrying capacity) is one of the primary measures of roadway performance. Capacity deficiencies occur when the traffic volume approaches or exceeds the road’s capacity. The analysis assumes 2020-2029 State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) projects are in the right-of-way acquisition phase or are under construction. HIGHWAY ANALYSIS SUMMARY Planning Level Intersection Assessment Roadway intersections in Brunswick County were assessed using a high level of analysis, including the type of facility and current delay. The recommendations identify a possible solution to a problem or “identified need.” The improvement types can be interchanges, overpasses, limited movement and all movement intersections. Refer to Appendix X for definitions of any terms. The major intersections identified for improvement in the CTP are: U.S. 17 and N.C. 211 Intersection N.C. 87 and N.C. 133 Intersection U.S. 17 and N.C. 904 Intersection Bridge Deficiency Assessment 29 structurally deficient and functionally obsolete bridges that were identified. Of these, 8 bridges are scheduled for improvements in the 2020-2029 STIP.

The service is available Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., and is available first come, first serve. The CTP is suggesting Park and Ride locations. No fixed routes are currently in place. For more information, see the Multimodal Analysis section of the Appendix. RAIL Currently, railroad exists in Brunswick County from the Wilmington MPO border line to the Bald Head Island Ferry, and it is owned and operated by the Department of Defense. Additional railroad providing freight service exists from the Columbus County line to the Wilmington MPO line which is owned and operated by CSX Transportation. There is a non-active rail line called the RJCS, the CTP is proposing the line become active in the future. There are no proposed freight or passenger rail lines proposed in Brunswick County in the North Carolina Comprehensive State Rail Plan. BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN ANALYSIS SUMMARY Bicyclists and pedestrians are elements of the transportation system in North Carolina. Many communities are working to improve mobility for bicyclists and pedestrians. There are several bicycle routes and side path facilities that exist throughout Brunswick County. The East Coast Greenway is an important on-road route that runs through the county providing for community connectivity and economic growth. The existing bicycle and pedestrian network is minimal and sporadic. Sidewalks exist in downtown Southport as well as in Calabash, and some bicycle lanes exist in Southport, Oak Island, and Sunset Beach. Most sidewalk segments do not extend all the way to desired destinations and do not connect to other sidewalk segments. The following plans were considered in the development of this CTP: • East Coast Greenway Plan • 2017 Cape Fear Regional Bicycle Plan • 2009 Sunset Beach Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan • City of Southport Comprehensive Pedestrian Transportation Plan • Oak Island Bicycle Plan • 2014 Ocean Isle Beach Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan • City of Boiling Springs Lakes Pedestrian Plan • Bald Head Island Vision 2025 • 2017 Strategic Plan for the Town of Caswell • 2017 Sunset Beach Land Use Plan • 2018 Shallotte Land Use Plan • GSATS 2040 MTP Update • Holden Beach Land Use Plan • Town of Shallotte Transportation Plan • Town of Varnamtown Workbook Land Use Plan • 2020-2025 Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan for the Town of Oak Island, NC • Comprehensive Land Use Plan for Oak Island For more information, see the Multimodal Analysis section of the Appendix.

The process, known as the Project Development Process, begins with the department assisting municipalities and regions in developing Comprehensive Transportation Plans, which are long range plans that identify area transportation needs and priorities. Once a project is programmed for funding, NCDOT initiates studies and the project enters into the environmental analysis and development phase. The process includes getting feedback from the public and analyzing how a proposed project might affect people living and working in the area, along with its environmental impact. Once the final design location has been determined and NCDOT acquires necessary property to accommodate the project and awards a construction contract (“Let”). Then, construction begins. The typical NCDOT Project Delivery Process is shown in the figure below. CTP PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS LIST The following list contains information about the Brunswick County Comprehensive Transportation Plan recommendations. These recommendations represent an agreement (between NCDOT and local community) of an identified transportation deficiency and a potential solution. While the CTP does recommend possible solutions, called project recommendations, it may not represent the final location or cross-section and features associated with the improvement and may change over time due to further and more detailed studies. It is the responsibility of local communities to help protect transportation corridors for new location facilities. The list shown below is not in any priority order. CTP MAPS The mutually adopted Brunswick County CTP Maps are found in Figure 1. Definitions of terms on these maps can be found in the Definitions Appendix. Maps and recommendations are separated and organized by county and included for the entire CTP area.

Board of Transportation Adoption OTHER COMMUNITY INTERESTS The Occasionally, a CTP cannot satisfy all of the varied needs of a community. This section identifies any local desires that did not meet the criteria to achieve a recommendation, or local interests that are outside of the scope of the plan. They are: • Passenger rail access is denied to link the county to cities such as Raleigh, Charlotte, Charleston, Wilmington, and Myrtle Beach, but local desire didn’t meet the criteria for a recommendation. • Several public comments were received via a survey that included needs in the portion of Brunswick County that lies in Wilmington. These interests are not within the scope of this CTP. These comments have been forwarded to the Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization. • The projects of regional importance to the county are the following: U.S. 74/76, N.C. 211, and Carolina Bay Extension. • Additional projects outside of the CTP boundary that are impactful to the study area include: Cape Fear Memorial Bridge and Cape Fear Crossing. The details of these projects can be viewed on the Wilmington MTP, formally known as Cape Fear Moving Forward 2045. 72 73 BRUNSWICK COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN BRUNSWICK COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN MARCH 2023 MARCH 2023 FOOTHILLS REGIONAL COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN 74 JANUARY 2022
