Project Background:
The Town of Huntersville has requested that the MUMPO staff
analyze proposed changes to the roadway network in the
vicinity of Beatties Ford Road and NC 73. The proposed
changes are the result of recommendations from the Beatties
Ford Road Small Area Plan adopted by the Town in September
2007. Any approved changes will be included in an amended
MUMPO Thoroughfare Plan.
Listed below are the five recommended changes to be
analyzed:
-
Realign the proposed Vance Road Extension so as to
terminate at NC 73 west of its current proposed
terminus.
-
Construct a new minor thoroughfare (A) that will link
Vance Road Extension to NC 73 at a point opposite Terry
Lane.
-
Construct a new minor thoroughfare (B) that will link
Oliver Hager Road to Ervin Cook Road.
-
Realign the proposed Birkdale
Commons Parkway Extension so that it will terminate
at minor thoroughfare A. The current proposed alignment
links this roadway with Ervin Cook Road.
-
Terminate the proposed Hugh Torance Parkway Extension at
minor thoroughfare A. The current propose alignment
extends the roadway to NC 73.

Concurrent with the study will be an effort to revise
MUMPO’s Thoroughfare Plan to remove an outdated proposal for
this area. The current Thoroughfare Plan proposal
recommends realigning NC 73 in the manner depicted below.
If approved, the revised Thoroughfare Plan will result in NC
73 staying on its existing alignment and the east-west and
north-south realignments shown below will be eliminated.
April 16, 2008 Meeting
A public
meeting was held on Wednesday, April 16 at 6:00 PM in
Huntersville Town Hall to discuss a proposed realignment of
a portion of the future Vance Road Extension. The purpose of
the meeting was to discuss the results of an analysis that
has been conducted by MUMPO to determine if the segment of
the future Vance Road Extension from the vicinity of
Meadowlake Presbyterian Church to NC 73 should be realigned.
The Huntersville Town Board requested that MUMPO undertake
this study at the time it adopted the Beatties Ford Road
Corridor Small Area Plan in September 2007.
This
meeting was a follow-up to one held in December to introduce
this subject to the public. At that meeting, both the Vance
Road Extension realignment and other proposed changes to the
roadway network in the vicinity were discussed. The April
16 meeting focused exclusively on the Vance Road
Extension issue. The other proposed changes will be
discussed at future meetings.
December 5, 2007 Meeting
