RE: Start of Study and Local Officials Scoping Meeting Notification
Monroe Connector/Bypass - From I-485 to US 74
Mecklenburg and Union Counties
TIP Project Numbers: R-3329 & R-2559
Dear Mr. Cook,
The North Carolina Turnpike Authority (NCTA) has initiated the project development,
environmental, and engineering studies for the proposed Monroe Connector/Bypass project in
Mecklenburg and Union Counties (Figure 1). As it is currently defined, the project would include
improvements in the US 74 corridor between I-485 in Mecklenburg County and US 74 in the
vicinity of the Town of Marshville in Union County. The project is included in the 2006-2012
North Carolina Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) in addition to the Draft 2007-2013
TIP as Projects R-3329 and R-2559.
This studv is a combination of two projects previously analyzed by NCDOT, the Monroe Bypass
(NCDOT Transportation Improvement Program [TIP] Project R-2559) and the Monroe
Connector (NCDOT TIP Project R-3329). The Monroe Bypass study addressed improvements in
the US 74 corridor from just west of the City of Monroe to just west of the Town of Marshville.
An Environmental Assessment for this project was approved in March 1996, and a Finding of No
Significant Impact was issued in June 1997. The Monroe Connector study addressed
improvements in the US 74 corridor from I-485 to US 601 in the City of Monroe, where it ended
at the proposed Monroe Bypass. A Draft EIS for this project was approved in November 2003;
however, a public hearing was never held. In February 2005, the NCTA adopted the Monroe
Connector as a toll candidate facility, and in January 2006, the Notice of Intent for the Monroe
Connector EIS was rescinded (Federal Register Vol. 71, No. 19, page 4958). Subsequently.
NCTA adopted the Monroe Bypass project as a toll candidate facility in October 2006. The
Monroe Connector and Monroe Bypass projects have been combined into a single project and
will be evaluated in a single Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
The proposed project is approximately 21 miles in length and is located southeast of Charlotte in
the vicinity of the towns of Lake Park, Stallings, and Mint Hill and the cities of Monroe, Indian
Trail, and Matthews. NCTA anticipates preparing an EIS for the Monroe Connector/Bypass

project in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). We would appreciate
any information you might have that would be helpful in establishing the project study area and
purpose and need, identifying preliminary corridors, evaluating the potential environmental
impacts of those corridors, and establishing a viable range of alternatives for consideration.
A local officials scoping meeting will be held on February 1, 2007 in Room CH-l4 of the
Char] otte-Mecklenburg Government Center (Address: 600 East Fourth Street, Charlotte, NC
28202). Lunch will be provided at 12:30 p.m.. and the meeting will begin at 1:00 p.m. The
purpose of the meeting will be to identify significant issues related to the proposed action that
should be considered during the study process. We strongly encourage you or a representative to
participate in this meeting or to provide written comments. Written comments are appreciated by
February 12, 2007. Your response should be mailed to the following:

Re: Monroe Bypass/Connector
Dear Ms. Harris;
am writing to you on behalf of the Town Council of the Town of Stallings.
The Town of Stallings is located in the proposed area of the Monroe
Bypass/Connector. Previously, alternatives "D", "E" and "G" were shown for
connectivity of the Bypass/Connector to Highway 74 in the Town of
Stallings. Although no selection was made these alternatives are still
options being explored by the Turnpike Authority. We also understand that
the Turnpike Authority will be reviewing other alternatives as well.
This letter is meant to serve as the Town's position on the location and/or
connection of the Bypass/Connector. The Town of Stallings opposes the
previous routes known as alternatives "D", "E" and "G". More specifically,
the Town Council does not support the relocation, disruption or elimination
of existing businesses along Highway 74 considering our limited area along
Highway 74. Our Town has only one mile of frontage along the highway
and loss of those businesses would severely erode our tax base. This
would apply to alternatives "E" and "G". Specifically for alternative "D" the
Town Council does not support the location of the Bypass/Connector
through an approved subdivision (Fairhaven), which is under construction
and through four large undeveloped tracts of land at the intersection of
Stallings Road and Stevens Mill Road. A new elementary school has been
approved on one of the large tracts at this intersection.
Then Town Council would support other alternative locations for the
Bypass/Connector that do not create an impact as indicated above. On
behalf of the Town I am requesting the Turnpike Authority review other
alternatives for the Bypass/Connector and eliminate from consideration
alternatives "D", "E" and "G" as previously outlined-

Re: Monroe Connector/Bypass EIS Scoping Comments
Dear Ms. Harris:
The Town of Indian Trail appreciates the opportunity to comment on the documents
associated with the Scoping Meeting held by NCTA on February 9, 2007. We have the
following comments:
Proposed Study Area Map:
1. The southern boundary of the proposed study area should be reduced to its
original study area for R-3329 and R2559 because:
a. The expanded area includes downtown Indian Trail. If the Connector
goes through this southern area, it will decimate the downtown district.
b. Any alignment within the expanded southern boundary would be
inconsistent with adopted local plans. These plans are the Indian Trail
Comprehensive Plan and the Downtown Master Plan. These plans can be
found on our Town website at www.indiantrail.or .
c. The CSX railroad that is included in the expanded southern study area will
cause significant problems to the horizontal and vertical alignment of the
Connector. If this proposed study area boundary is maintained, a railroad
layer should be included on the base map.
d. The expanded study area to the south of US 74 encompasses a brick yard
and quarry, which are roughly bounded by US 74 and Old Monroe, west
of Rocky River Road.
2. We support the idea of possible additional interchange locations on I-485 within
the proposed study area. Special consideration needs to be given to newly-
approved subdivisions in that area on the county line.
3. We also support reducing the study area to avoid impacts to the Goose Creek
Drainage Area.
4. We request that future maps use a more up-to-date base layer for the roads and
parcel information. The map identifies Sardis Church Road as Wesley Chapel
Stouts Road. Please feel free to contact Luke Fawcett, GIS Specialist, at
lff( indiantrail.org for current Indian Trail GIS Information.
Additional Comments related to potential alignments
The Scoping Meeting included a handout summarizing previous findings regarding the
preliminary study corridors. Although comments were not solicited, we offer the
following comments:
These documents identified Alignment G as one of the "Previously Eliminated
from Further Study" alignment within the Monroe Bypass summary and added
the alignment back in per the request of US Army Corps of Engineers for
"comparison purposes" in the Monroe Connector Summary. The Town of Indian
Trail supports the removal of this potential alignment due to the impacts to our
commercial corridor along US74. We have calculated approximately 100
businesses could be impacted by this alignment. Based on the preliminary design
associated with the previous Draft Monroe Connector EIS, the Town could
potentially loose an additional 103 acres of this commercial district.
2. The E and D Connector alignments bisect our Business Park planning area.
Though it would be great for the park to have an interchange nearby, we request
special consideration of this area.
5. The Town of Indian Trail adopted its Comprehensive Plan in November of 2005.
This document is a twenty to thirty year growth plan which included the future
Monroe Connector/Bypass (Proposed Alignment D-2). The planned connector is
vital to the future land use and transportation elements of the document. It's
incorporation into our long range plan prepares the Town for the growth
associated with such a facility. Information on its incorporation can be found at
www.indiantrail orn,/plinnin,g-departrnent/comprehensive-landuse-plan htm.
Comments on the Purpose and Need Statement:
1. In the first paragraph, Indian Trail is incorrectly designated as a city. It is
officially a town.
2. Another need which should be included is to address the percentage of trucks that
drive the route between I-485 and Monroe - presumably going from Charlotte to
the port in Wilmington. This causes a lot of our delay issues.
3. In the last paragraph, can "mobility" be further described beyond roadway
designations and access issues? For example, other purposes of this project are to
improve safety, improve air quality, congestion, delay, motor vehicle conflicts
and connectivity.
Comments on the 6002 Coordination Plan:
1. Section 3.1. We would like the opportunity to review the draft schedule, which is
not included with this review. Please email the draft schedule as soon as it
becomes available.
2. Sections 4.3.1 and 4.5. Nine environmental agencies and only one local agency
are listed as "Participating Agencies". Although we are in agreement this could
assist in scheduling, it could also place a huge coordination burden on our
MUMPO representative.
3. We respectfully request Section 4.5 be expanded to:
a. Specifically name the local jurisdictions which will be represented by
MUMPO;
b. Include a requirement that the meeting summaries be provided to the local
jurisdictions represented by MUMPO in a timely manner. This will
provide the opportunity to discuss the summaries with the NCTA staff
member present at the TCC meetings;
c. Provide NCTA staff presentations to the local jurisdictions upon request
by the Town Councils;
d. Provide the opportunity for staff of local jurisdictions to attend the
monthly meeting with the MUMPO representative to discuss and/or
clarify local issues later in the process.
4. Section 5.2. It was unclear from Exhibit 2 what the meeting dates would be. We
were informed meeting will be held monthly. It's difficult to identify which one
of the meetings identified in the Exhibit is the meeting discussed.
In closing we would like to express our support for this project and appreciate the
opportunity to continent. We look forward to working with the North Carolina Turnpike
Authority on this long overdue project. Please feel free to contact me or Ms. Susan
Habina at 704 821-5401 if you have any questions or need our local technical assistance.

COUNTY Comments on the Proposed Study Area Boundary and the
MINT HILL Proposed Purpose and Need Statement
MONROE
Listed below are comments on both the proposed Purpose and Need Statement and the
NCDOT proposed Study Area Boundary associated with the Monroe Connector/Bypass project:
PINEVILLE
STALLINGS Purpose and Need Statement
UNION • The Purpose and Need Statement, as currently prepared, appears to adequately
COUNTY summarize the importance of this project.
WAXHAW • It will be important to retain the "high-speed" terminology in the Statement for the
following reasons:
WEDDINGTON o Monroe is the only "ring city" surrounding Charlotte that is not served by a
WESLEY CHAPEL radial, high-speed, regional facility.
WINGATE o The Charlotte metropolitan area is home to 279 trucking companies and over
31,000 transportation employees, including truckers. Speed and efficiency
are crucial to this industry, and therefore to the economic strength of the
region.
o Existing US 74 is marked by numerous at-grade intersections (signalized and
unsignalized) and few, if any. access management techniques have been
broadly applied to this roadway. This causes significant delays along a
corridor that is the main connection between the Charlotte region and the
Port of Wilmington.
Study Area Boundarv
• The northern Study Area Boundary (SAB) as proposed by North Carolina Turnpike
Authority (NCTA) staff is appropriate. Avoiding the Goose Creek basin is critical.
• The southern SAB should be reconsidered for the following reasons:
o The boundary includes Lake Lee, a water source for the City of Monroe.
o The boundary extends below Old Charlotte Highway (SR 1009) and into the
urban core of Monroe. The existing development south of existing US 74
effectively precludes consideration of alternatives south of that facility and
would not permit the building of a high-speed regional facility. This would
be in conflict with the Purpose and Need for this project.
Therefore a SAB closer to what was developed for the former R-2559 and R-3329
projects should be adequate.
• The eastern and western boundaries are appropriate.
