Starlite Drive Traffic Calming
In March 2020, Planning staff held a neighborhood meeting at the Piedmont Health Center with the residents of the Lloyd-Broad neighborhood. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the traffic calming process and to hear from the residents the problems they were facing on Starlite Drive so that solutions could be identified. Over the Summer of 2020, staff worked to identify solutions and begin development of a concept plan for the street. In February 2021, staff sent a mailing to the residents of the Lloyd-Broad neighborhood, seeking feedback on a proposed concept plan (Attachment A) for Starlite Drive. Feedback received indicated that ~90% of responses supported a speed table, ~90% of responses supported marking a centerline along the curve radius, and ~70% supported a curb extension using delineators. An update was provided to Council on April 6, 2021. More information can be found at: Town of Carrboro - File #: 21-65 From this information, staff began work on detailed design plans, a draft of which can be found as Attachment B. Staff currently anticipate completing the design within the next month. The turnaround from completed design to installation is approximately two months.
