TOWN OF MORRISVILLE

| Technical Analysis
BACKGROUND
Traffic and Transportation
Transit-oriented developments rely on automobile, foot, and bicycle traffic as well
as transit to help support the businesses, offices, and residential developments that
they contain. One of the issues surrounding any proposed new development is how
it may affect existing traffic conditions. Traffic queues on NC 54 (Chapel Hill Road)
through Morrisville often experience long backups in peak morning and afternoon
periods. As a result, the Town of Morrisville hired Stantec Consulting Services, Inc.
to conduct a Transportation Analysis of the study area and the proposed TOD.
