12. III. What We Did
• All work done as an in-house
collaboration with the Town of
Louisburg & NCDOT
• Working Group presentations,
research, field trip
• Questionnaire to public
• Public Input Meeting
• Production of final document
17. Imagine Bickett Boulevard Working Group Mission Statement and Goals:
Mission Statement:
To improve safety for all travelling on Bickett
Boulevard between Burke Boulevard and
Nash Streets while improving the aesthetics,
supporting local economic development and
allowing for multimodal transportation
choices resulting in reduced congestion and
minimized crashes.
18. Goals:
• Improve safety through access management by creating medians
allowing for safe left turns and U-turns as well as creating signalized
intersections with pedestrian crossings to accommodate vehicles,
cyclists and pedestrians
• Stimulate economic development by infilling vacant or underused
sites, considering mixed-use development where possible with
buildings closer to the street and parking at the rear or side to
enhance the pedestrian environment
• Improve the aesthetics along the route with street trees, planted
medians, sidewalks, uniform signage, improved lighting and
underground utilities while incorporating shared parking lots and
creating the best efficiency of driveways
• Incorporate bus routes with shelters, bike routes and sidewalks along
Bickett Boulevard to tie in to the existing network
19. Safe Access is Good for Business, P.12
Access Management:
20. Hillandale Road - Planted Median
Benefits: Aesthetics, Unified Streetscape
22. Benefits of Improved Access Management
• Improves vehicular safety and access
• More room for landscaping
• Accommodates a unified streetscape
• Presents an opportunity to organize signs
• Allows space for bike routes with improved safety
• Allows for safer pedestrian access
• Provides potential to connect adjacent parking
lots, thus increasing the opportunity for patronage
of adjacent businesses for multiple and
convenient shopping stops
• Preserves the road capacity and improves traffic
flow
26. Conceptual Ideas:
Before:
• No sidewalk
• No pedestrian crossing
• No stop light at Franklin
Plaza
• No landscaping
After:
• Signalized and marked
pedestrian crossing
• Stop light with arms
added at Franklin
Plaza
• Sidewalk added
• New landscaping
Bickett Blvd. at Franklin Plaza
27. Conceptual Ideas:
Before:
• No Sidewalk
• Center turn lane
allows for multiple
conflict points
After:
• Sidewalk added on
both sides of road
• Lane marked for
cyclists
• Planted median
with gap allowing
for left turns and
U-turn

(around 328-332 S. Bickett)
28. Bickett and Nash with Improvements
• Stop Light Arms with Overhead Road Signs
• Pedestrian Crossing (Timed)
• Planted Median with Pedestrian Refuge
• Sidewalks on Both sides of Street
• Bike Paths
• Mixed Use (Businesses/Apartments) Close to Street with
Parking Behind
• Pull in for Buses
• Buried Power Lines
• Parking Behind Buildings
• Consolidation of Driveways

35. IV. What is happening so far and next steps
• Continuation of ongoing CMAQ projects
• NCDOT safety project/discretionary project
• Successful grant application to CTAA Rural Passenger Technical Assistance
Program (draft plan in progress with consultant)
• Inclusion of 1.37 mile segment in current state Prioritization Process (P4.0)
(The project scores in the low 40’s at the Regional level and gets more
KTRPO local points because of the study-is doing better than in P3.0.)
• Possible breaking of 1.37 mile segment down into fragments to see if the
individual parts will score better in next Prioritization Process (P5.0)
