Andy Lelewski (NCTA) indicated signing becomes extremely complicated if same location. • General Purpose Interchange at Sardis Road North • Direct Connector at this location raised concerns with traffic operations and signing, potential confusion. • Sam Newell Road — Ingress WB US 74, Egress EB US 74 • Agree with if maintain access to Rice Road (David McDonald — CATS) • No Direct Connector at this location was unanimous • Ingress — Westbound US 74, Between NC 51 and Matthews-Mint Hill Road • Exact location to be determined by distance from I-485 ramp for speed reduction and merge across GP lanes to Express Lane • Egress — Eastbound US 74, just west of I-485 to be able to go I-485 N • Direct Connectors to I-485 — All segments will be included and evalua separately � uestions/CoYnments Wilson Stroud � wstroud@ncdot.gov � 919.707.6045 Keith Lewis, PE � kdlewis@vhb.com � 919.334.5619 s�
