News release from the Town:
A public input meeting on the expansion of the Eubanks Road Park and Ride lot will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 31, in the Great Hall of the Seymour Senior Center, 2551 Homestead Road.
Park and Ride is an important component of Chapel Hill's transportation system. To allow adequate time for the planning, design and construction of an expanded park and ride lot in the north end of Martin Luther King Boulevard, the six-month process will begin with a feasibility study.
Chapel Hill Transit (CHT) desires adequate park-and-ride capacity developed in an environmentally-friendly, financially-efficient manner that supports transit-compatible redevelopment of adjacent properties. The objectives of the study are to:
- Confirm the level of demand for park-and-ride spaces in the Eubanks Road facility for both CHT passengers and other users;
- Review the site suitability and configuration options presented in the Eubanks Road Concept Plan in relation to an expanded park-and-ride facility and formulate alternatives for park & ride expansion in the planning area;
- Develop an effective access plan including determination of impacts and service requirements so that transit service, walking and biking access, and traffic needs are addressed;
- Understand financial strategies and implications of park-and-ride development;
- Define a variety of potential alternatives, test the alternatives, complete NEPA requirements and select a preferred alternative for environmental permitting, funding, construction and operation;
- Define and manage an inclusive public and agency process to develop consensus around the Eubanks Road Concept Plan, facility options and study outcomes.
