These special places may be retail corridors, historic districts, or beautiful neighborhoods that encourage a sense of place and community ownership. In the case of Archdale, there is a desire to transform and create a place that introduces these principles. To do so, the City and it’s residents have identified the transformation of North Main Street as a critical element in achieving the creation of a new downtown and the revitalization of North Main Street from a suburban highway strip commercial development pattern into an urban commercial district catalyzed by a transformative reallocation of space. The North Main Street Corridor Study explores the feasibility and recommendations needed for successfully reallocating space along the corridor to help the City achieve the goals set forth in Plan Archdale. The North Main Street Corridor Study builds on the strong foundation set in Plan Archdale by building on the plan’s goals, robust community engagement, and implementation framework. North Main Street Road Diet Concepts from Plan Archdale 1 19 Guiding Principles The North Main Street Corridor Study was guided by the four primary goals of Plan Archdale, as well as the principles outlined in the Main Street Mixed Use and City Center land use classifications. The re-purposing of space along North Main Street plays a critical role in the City’s ability to reach each of these goals and has the potential to serve as a catalyst project in realizing the character and principles of the future land use vision. Transforming North Main Street will play a critical role in the creation of a new Creating a More downtown and commercial center for the City. The reconfiguration of the Livable and Inclusive roadway will allow the community to feel reconnected and encourage residents Community to spend time connecting with each other and their City in a way that hasn’t been experienced before. North Main Street already serves as a commercial corridor for the City; however, intentionally refocusing it to be a community activity and social hub will invite Building a Strong, a variety of retail, dining, and entertainment opportunities to further diversify Diverse, and the City’s tax base and local employment opportunities. The public investment Resilient Economy in North Main Street could prove a critical component of business recruitment, reinvestment, and retention. Implementation of the principles housed within the Main Street Mixed Use and Managing Growth City Center land use typology, coupled with the reallocation of space on North in a Vibrant and Main Street can move the needle on influencing the form and function of the built Dynamic City environment in the City’s core. These items will help attract a range of housing options and improve economic development prospects along the corridor. The transformation of North Main Street has great potential in ensuring that the City can foster a strong sense of place and create a new focal point for the Fostering a Sense of community. The North Main Street Corridor Study sets the stage for the City to Place enhance the aesthetic quality of the corridor and enhance the user experience – whether in a car, on a bicycle, or on foot – and better position the corridor to receive investment. 2 20 Study Area The North Main Street Corridor Study focused evaluation on the segment between Archdale Road and Columbus Avenue. North Main Street’s intersection with Highway 62 (Trindale/Liberty Road) is at the heart of Archdale and is envisioned to serve as the City’s future downtown. The south end of the corridor ties into the interchange with I-85, which is slated to be reconfigured by NCDOT beginning in 2025. 3 21 Existing Context Today the North Main Street corridor can be characterized as a car focused “strip commercial” district, with large setbacks and parking fronting the street of the small format parcels. The road itself is characterized by wide lanes, overhead powerlines and large commercial signs that dominate the view. A lack of wayfinding, gateway features, or consistent landscaping standards leaves the corridor without a unique identity. The uncontrolled access at driveways and intersections create many conflict points throughout the corridor. Pedestrian facilities are inconsistent along the length of the corridor, making the road feel unwelcoming to all but those passing through in cars. North Main Street commercial development and sidewalk gaps North Main Street intermittent sidewalk Liberty/Trindale Road intersection North Main Street five-lane corridor cross-section 4 22 Safety Crash data from the last 5-years (from August 1, 2016 to July 31, 2021) was analyzed as a part of the North main Street Corridor Study. During the 5-year window a total of 163 crashes were reported, none of which were fatal. While no fatal crashes occurred during the analysis period, there were 53 non-fatal injury crashes, which is still lower than the critical crash rate. The table below outlines the crash rates along the corridor against those at the statewide level for other similar corridors. While the crash severity isn’t notable, a pattern of angle/left turn crashes at the intersection of North Main Street with Trindale/Liberty Road was noted. Crashes of this nature were most often attributed to southbound through vehicles running a red light. Within the 5-year analysis period, there was one pedestrian crash at the intersection of Baker Road. The vehicle was making a right turn and struck a pedestrian crossing the north leg of the intersection. The full safety analysis can be found in the Appendix. Traffic The North Main Street Corridor Study evaluated traffic operations for North Main Street between Archdale Road and Columbus Avenue. Analysis of the corridor explored the impacts of a road diet from the existing five- lane cross-section to an urban three-lane section with a center two-way left turn lane and intermittent medians. Traffic along the corridor was analyzed for the existing year (2021), interim year (2025), and design year (2045). Due to the declining historic traffic volumes along the corridor, two scenarios were explored – one which assumed a 0.5% growth rate, and one that assumed a 0.0% growth rate. Capacity analysis were performed in accordance with NCDOT Congestion Management Capacity Analysis Guidelines, and included the following intersections: ♦ North Main Street at Archdale Road ♦ North Main Street at Petty Street/Baker Road ♦ North Main Street at Trindale Road/Liberty Road ♦ North Main Street at White Drive ♦ North Main Street at Plummer Drive ♦ North Main Street at Misty Lane/Julian Avenue ♦ North Main Street at Columbus Avenue Under each analysis scenario, the study intersections are projected to operate at an acceptable level-of-service in the interim and future build conditions. Full traffic analysis can be found in the Appendix. 5 23 Art in Creekside Park 6 24 Chapter 2 Vision Introduction This chapter outlines the vision for a transformed North Main Street that builds on the robust community engagement conducted during the Plan Archdale Placemaking Workshops and a technical evaluation of existing and future traffic and crash history. The vision of the community combined with the quantitative analysis resulted in a series of recommendations that will catalyze the reimagining of North Main Street and creation of a new downtown. This transformation is primarily realized through the reallocation of space from cars to better prioritize safety, people, and foster the opportunity for a unique sense of place that Archdale residents are proud to call their own. The recommendations in this section focus on the reallocation of space, access management, and enhancing the pedestrian realm. Each element is critical to support the full vision of North Main Street as a bustling hub of activity that prioritizes pedestrian movement and showcases an attractive streetscape. 7 25 Corridor Improvements Road Diet Five-lane, undivided highways experience a variety of different crash types and safety concerns as volume and speeds are often high. North Main Street is a strong candidate for a road diet as the traffic volumes have been generally decreasing since the completion of I-74, which provides an alternative parallel route. Additionally, Archdale Road is slated to be widened to a multi-lane facility by NCDOT and will provide an additional parallel facility to the west. The North main Street Corridor Study recommends the reduction of the street cross-section from it’s existing five lane configuration to a variable two- to three-lane configuration with the provision of on-street parking. Traffic capacity analysis conducted as a part of the study demonstrates that the corridor operates at an acceptable level-of-service through the study year of 2045 with the reduced number of travel lanes. The key elements of the proposed road diet are better separation of movements and modes, simplified movements, and slower travel speeds. ♦ Separation. The proposed road diet provides a greater degree of separation for through traffic and turning vehicles through the intentionally located medians and turn lanes. The reallocation of space from cars to people, allows for a greater buffer between pedestrians and vehicular traffic, increasing safety and introducing the opportunity for an enhanced streetscape. ♦ Simplicity. The proposed road diet simplifies the movement of vehicles through the corridor and reduces the number of conflict points. The separation provided by the median locations channelizes turning vehicles and creates a more predictable travel pattern. The road diet also reduces the overall width of the roadway, creating shorter crossing distances and making it more intuitive for pedestrians. ♦ Slower. The narrowing of the roadway and reduction of travel lanes sets the stage for slower travel speeds. Removal of a travel lane in each direction removes the opportunity for high speed passing, and the introduction of street trees and other elements will provide natural traffic calming. Access Management Access management refers to the use of medians, turn restricts, driveway consolidation, and other traffic control techniques to restrict or control traffic access to certain locations. This typically results in smoother traffic operations and increased safety, particularly along busy corridors. Raised medians may be used to keep motorists from turning left across lanes of traffic or from blocking the flow of traffic while waiting to turn. Driveway consolidation is another popular tactic that minimizes driveway intrusions on a busy corridor, limiting the conflicts caused by motorists trying to turn. In each case, full access can be preserved to local businesses and destinations, but traffic patterns may be shifted from what is familiar to drivers. 8 26 On-Street Parking As the City Center begins to develop and the character and form described in Plan Archdale comes to fruition, a need for on-street parking may arise. On-street parking is preferred to large off-street surface lots as it supports higher efficiency and turnover rates, better use of valuable land along the corridor, and provides for natural traffic calming by causing friction and reducing through vehicle travel speeds. NORTH MAIN STREET TYPICAL CROSS-SECTION TODAY NORTH MAIN STREET TYPICAL CROSS-SECTION PROPOSED 9 27 Pedestrian Improvements Safe Pedestrian Crossings MARKED CROSSWALKS There are many different styles of crosswalk striping, with some more effective than others for certain applications. Ladder and continental striping patters are generally used where visibility to drivers is the fundamental concern. Decorative crosswalks with textured pavement or high visibility striping can also be used to draw attention to high traffic pedestrian areas. In addition to pavement markings, crosswalks may include signals or beacons, warning signs, raised platforms, curb bump-outs, and pedestrian countdown signals. All of these elements communicate to drivers that pedestrians may be present and a combination of elements can be applied to increase yielding behavior at intersections or midblock crossings where pedestrian visibility is a particular concern. Additionally, the presence of marked crosswalks guides pedestrians to cross at specific location, improving safety while encouraging predictable behavior. BULB-OUTS A bulb-out or curb extension is typically installed at an intersection or mid-block key pedestrian crossing point. Typically, the road is narrowed at the corner of an intersection by extending the sidewalk or pedestrian platform into the roadway. This makes pedestrians planning to cross more visible to motorists, reduces pedestrian crossing distance, and forces reduced vehicle turning speeds by decreasing the turning radius. Raised bulb-outs are often used on streets with on-street parking to clearly demarcate allowable parking areas and distinguish crossing locations for pedestrians. Aesthetic improvements like raised or decorative crosswalks and landscape planting can be used in combination with raised bulb-outs to provide a safe and highly-visible pedestrian area, distinct from any vehicle facilities that may be adjacent. Bulb-outs at the intersection of Trindale/Liberty Road and North Main Street are recommended as the concept of a city center is realized and pedestrian volumes increase. 10 28 DRIVEWAY MODIFICATIONS From the perspective of the sidewalk user, driveways can significantly impact the pedestrian realm experience. Ideally, the pedestrian through zone area of the sidewalk should remain straight across the driveway with no change in cross-slope. Driveways should not be excessively wide, as pedestrians are vulnerable each time they cross a driveway. Where possible, driveways should be consolidated, and curb radii should remain small to show entering and exiting vehicles. Driveway modifications can be provided as a part of the roadway construction, but may also be improved incrementally as properties along North Main Street redevelop. When possible, driveways may also be shifted to provide access on the side street rather than directly on North Main Street. LEADING PEDESTRIAN INTERVALS AND RIGHT TURN ON RED RESTRICTIONS Increasing pedestrian visibility is an essential design tactic that can vastly improve pedestrian safety and reduce pedestrian-vehicle conflict. At signalized intersections, a leading pedestrian interval allows pedestrians a 3-5 second head start prior to the light turning green for vehicles. Thus, before cars begin to cross or make turning movements, pedestrians are already in the crosswalk and are much more visible to drivers. Right turn on red (RTOR) may be restricted at intersections where high pedestrian traffic is expected, or where visibility is limited, as it reduces conflict between crossing pedestrians and turning cars. RTOR restrictions are generally low cost to implement and involve only the addition of new signage at an existing signalized intersection. When used in conjunction with a leading pedestrian interval, a right turn on red restriction allows for pedestrians to be visible and present in the crossing area during their appropriate signal phase and improves safety by reducing pedestrian-vehicle crossing conflicts. Right turn on red restrictions could have prevented the pedestrian crash that occurred at the intersection of North Main Street and Baker Road. 11 29 Enhanced Pedestrian Comfort and Public Realm PEDESTRIAN SCALE LIGHTING Pedestrian-scale street lighting provides safety, pedestrian comfort, and improved aesthetics to create a sense of place. Pedestrian lighting is crucial in ensuring pedestrians feel safe, meaning they will use the corridor frequently, contributing to the area’s overall economic vibrancy. Additionally, pedestrian lighting improves, facilitates, and encourages pedestrian traffic generally by facilitating a welcoming and safe-feeling corridor. Pedestrian lighting should be provided at regular intervals along the entire main street mixed use district, and should be chosen to support the overall urban design and aesthetic of the transformed North Main Street. SHADE In warm climates such as the City of Archdale, temperatures are a challenge to walkability. Providing shade along sidewalks creates a visually attractive environment that encourages walking and greatly increases comfort during summer months. Trees, landscaping, business awnings, or even public art installations can help provide shade along the length of a corridor as well as points of visual interest. The combination of these shade providers with seating and other amenities can create shelter from rain, intimate gathering spaces, and provide lasting environmental benefit. GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE Green infrastructure uses natural process to properly capture, store and filter stormwater. These elements are easily integrated into curbside landscaping elements, and help to improve the City’s stormwater management system overall, as well as provide vegetative greenery and improved aesthetics along North Main Street. Bioswales and stormwater trees provide landscaping opportunities along with functional capabilities to filter and manage excess water. The City can implement green infrastructure in the curb bump outs at intersections, and explore ways to integrate stormwater trees along the corridor. 12 30 Corridor Vision The North Main Street Corridor Study collected and analyzed data to determine potential corridor enhancements that would improve mobility, safety, and aesthetics in preparation for redevelopment and to serve as a catalyst for a new downvand main street mixed use district. It is important to note that a complete reconstruction of the corridor is not required to reach the goals outlined in Plan Archdale. Many of the strategies outlined in this chapter can be advanced incrementally as redevelopment occurs or opportunistically as funds become available. Improvements such as crosswalk striping, landscaping, and wayfinding are low-cost, near-term improvements that will have an immediate impact on the North Main Street experience. 13 31 14 32 Chapter 3 Action Plan Introduction The North Main Street Corridor Study process was structured in a way that took a step beyond the visionary outlook of Plan Archdale to move closer to implementation. The actions need a framework to spur investment that leads to change over time. The plan also needs to be flexible and allow staff and decision makers the ability to change course and capitalize on new opportunities as they arise. Ultimately, both public and private investment of time and dollars will be needed to achieve the desired vision for the corridor design, economic diversity, and mobility solutions. The action plan that follows sets the stage for the next steps for the City in transforming North Main Street, including pursuing funding sources to initiating preliminary engineering and design. Each step will identify the anticipated cost and offer insight into which partners need to lead or be involved in specific tasks. 15 33 Action Plan ACTION COST PARTICIPATION Amend the High Point MPO’s Metropolitan Lead: HPMPO Transportation Plan to include the North Main Street $ Support: City of Archdale project from Archdale Road to Columbus Avenue.

The BIL authorizes a new Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) to reduce transportation emissions. For Federal FY22, the High Point Urban Area MPO will receive the allocation of $372,874 in federal fund by way of CRP. The federal share for CRP funded projects is 80% and will require a 20% non-federal match for projects. High Point Urban Area MPO is a non-TMA area and must consult with NCDOT on which projects are selected to ensure eligibility. CRP funds can be used for a wide range of projects that reduce emissions. Eligible activities as identified in the statue are as follows: traffic management, truck stop electrification, public transportation, transportation alternatives, advanced transportation and congestion management technologies, intelligent transportation systems, development of a carbon reduction strategy, travel demand management, efforts to reduce the impacts of freight movement, deployment of alternative fuel vehicle, diesel engine retrofits, traffic flow improvements that do not involve construction of new capacity; and projects that reduce transportation emissions at port facilities. Other projects may be eligible with demonstration of emissions reductions. All projects selected must follow Title 23 requirements. More information about these funds and project selection will be provided at the meeting.

In a collaborative effort to gauge Randolph County residents’ transportation needs, the City of Asheboro, the Regional Coordinated Area Transportation Service (RCATS), and PART recently distributed a survey to gather data in the region. In addition, Randolph County, the YMCA’s Asheboro branch, Randolph County Community College, Christ United Outreach Center (CUOC), and the Asheboro Housing Authority partnered to help collect the information. The response was excellent, and we were able to provide reliable data for our planners to work with. As a result, we expanded our Randolph County Express Route 10 service effective 8/1/2022. Community interest drove PART’s expansion to include a stop at the North Carolina Zoo. Again, collaboration played a key role, and working with our North Carolina Zoo partners, PART landed a front door stop at the North American entrance. Messaging about the service expansion started going out to the public in mid-August utilizing a series of four ads, published as print and web-based, running for eight weeks, along with a series of four email campaigns through Triad City Beat, a local publication that focuses on the Triad (triad-city-beat.com). In addition, PART and several of our Randolph County partners ran email campaigns, put out posters, and ran web ads and social media blasts through various platforms. The messaging will continue through October and include an ad going into the city of Asheboro’s quarterly newsletter. PART also has a tab on the North Carolina Zoo website! nczoo.org/visit/part-bus. We want riders to know ... we are going to the North Carolina Zoo! Explore With Express. » EXPRESS ROUTE « 21 Route 21 NE Chimney Rock Express is another workhorse of a route. This service runs 6:15 am - 8:45 pm out of the Coble Transportation Center, getting riders to and from work and school. With stops at Harris Teeter NE Perishable warehouse, two GTCC Aviation centers, HAECO, Harris Teeter Distribution Center, and the CHIMNEY Industries of the Blind Distribution Center, this route makes the stops! An added bonus, this route connects ROCK with Greensboro Transit Authority’s (GTA) route 9 bus at our Swing Road stop. Connecting Communities, that’s what we do!

Our local Metropolitan Planning Organizations, known as MPOs, staffed by your neighbors and local residents, will launch a vital survey this fall called Triad Travel Counts. This research data is only gathered approximately every ten years, so the information is crucial to our region. PART is collaborating with the MPOs in our area to conduct the study. This is a rare opportunity for households to provide vital information that will help set transportation priorities for many years. The insights gained from this survey will help prioritize local transportation projects, improve mobility, and reduce congestion. Communication to the public about the study will include public relations campaigns, web, social media, email campaigns, and print. This survey will collect details about how residents get around the region, whether going to work, shopping, visiting family or friends, or finding entertainment. MPOs will use this data to understand how our transportation systems currently work for citizens and help us decide where things can be improved. If you are invited to participate in the survey, please take part and make sure you represent your neighborhood, town, and county! Save Money On Your Commute ... Join A PART Vanpool. A vanpool can be described as a blend of a traditional carpool and on-demand services, like taxis, Uber and Lyft. Compared to carpools and on-demand services, vanpools provide a more organized system and an easier way to connect with people on your route. Rather than a group of friends or coworkers sharing their private cars, designated drivers are assigned a vanpool vehicle to use for commuting purposes. The more riders that join in, the more money you save! Unlike on-demand services, you won’t have to request a new ride daily and wait to be matched with a new driver. Instead, riders set their pick-up and drop-off times that they can plan their schedules around. In addition, PART vanpoolers are charged a fixed monthly, all-inclusive fee that each rider pays directly to PART. This means you will never have to worry about collecting funds or coming up with gas and repair money. And surge pricing, which can peak during rush hours when you are likely doing your commute and is standard for most on-demand services, will be a thing of the past. Consider joining a PART Vanpool today. For more information, go to partnc.org/157/Vanpool. PARTnc.org 46
