We, the undersigned concerned citizens of the Smith Level Road area, hereby voice our request that the Town of Carrboro and NCDOT pursue an alternative to the current NCDOT road improvement plan for Smith Level Road.
The current plan, with the center turn lanes, and the multi-lane expansion at both the BPW and Culbreth intersections, will make crossing Smith Level Road an unsafe venture for both bicyclists and pedestrians.
We urge both parties to seek an alternative which keeps the roundabout at Rock Haven, and bases the rest of the project on the two-lane road cross section used on most of Carrboro\'s other arterial roads: two vehicular travel lanes with left-turn lanes at intersections, bicycle lanes, and sidewalks.
This petition will be sent to NCDOT and the Carrboro Board of Aldermen.
I HAVE BEEN SPENDING MY ENTIRE WEEK MEETING WITH LOCAL PLANNERS TO PUSH FOR A SAFER DESIGN!! THE FEEDBACK I AM GETTING PROVES THAT WE ARE PUSHING FOR THE RIGHT CHANGES TO KEEP OUR STREETS ACCESSIBLE FOR EVERYONE!!

too much traffic as it is. widening it wont help the cut-through drivers anyway. keep the roundabout.

this road is already a nightmare. adding more lanes is just going to encourage people to drive faster thru town. fix it properly.

traffic is awful but these plans make zero sense for a residential area. stop trying to turn our street into a highway.
