What is in the packet

The packet is built around the fourth briefing on Morrisville's comprehensive transportation plan update, the first since 2019. It carries the ranked greenway list, which is the part with names attached: Mills Spring Greenway from Transformation Road to Paramount Parkway scores highest at 6.45, followed by a proposed Research Triangle Park greenway from Davis Drive to the Shiloh Greenway, Lexie Lane Greenway between NW Cary Parkway and NW Maynard Road, and Stirrup Iron Creek Greenway from Sorrell Grove Church Road to Aviation Parkway. Also included are roadway cross-section schematics matched to specific segments, a draft implementation plan setting project limits, timeframes, likely partners and funding sources, and a status report showing which 2019 projects carried over, were removed, or were added.

The June minutes in the packet record where the public input landed: online respondents and in-person participants ranked differently, and combined results put transit, pedestrian and bicycle needs ahead of roadway ones. Board members raised right-of-way limits on built-out residential corridors and asked for a correction to the greenway map near Preston Golf. Staff noted greenway planning around one local street connection is on hold pending park planning. The board also votes on a vice-chair recommendation.

Read from the first 50 pages of the packet, which is where this site stops — the rest is attachments, plan sheets and correspondence. Open the full packet if this is not enough.

What's on this agenda

Morrisville's Planning and Zoning Board takes a presentation Thursday on the town's Comprehensive Transportation Plan update, the longest item on a short agenda. Staff bring greenway prioritization results, roadway cross-sections, a draft implementation plan, and a status report on the roadway and intersection projects recommended between 2019 and 2026.

The board also picks a vice-chair by ballot and approves its 11 June minutes. Nothing else is listed under old or new business.
