ANALYSIS – STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT
• Industrial connector important but understood to be a challenge
• Palm Street appears to be a priority• Jackson Street less of a priority• Concern about phasing – does
development or transportation come first?• Concerns about economy’s impact on LCI
development• Thoughts about widening Holly Springs
Parkway

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
• Traffic Counts– Turning Movement Counts– Vehicle Classification Counts
• Modeling and Projections– Continued E-W demand through study area on
Hickory Street– Substantial anticipated development east of
town center
• Traffic Analysis– Future widespread congestion predicted
