Wesley Chapel Road Corridor Study
The Wesley Chapel Road/Wesley Chapel – Stouts Road is an important roadway connector from the Sun Valley area to US 74, connecting residents, businesses, commercial and industrial users in the Town of Indian Trail, North Carolina. The objective of the Wesley Chapel Road Corridor Study is to develop a multimodal transportation plan that is complementary to the existing and future surrounding land uses while being practical and suitable for implementation by the Town of Indian Trail, North Carolina.
The Study included a total of four public participation meetings: two stakeholder advisory group meetings and two public engagement meetings. Participants provided their likes and dislikes, challenges and opportunities, as well as their vision for incorporating street elements, addressing mobility/ capacity, urban design and economic development along the Wesley Chapel Road Corridor. During the public participation meetings, stakeholders and the public were presented with two Boulevard section alternatives and two Village Center section alternatives, in addition to potential roundabouts at identified intersections. A total of five roundabouts were proposed along the Wesley Chapel Road Corridor, at the intersections of Taylor Glen Lane/Tanglewood Drive, Fulton Ridge Drive/Inlet Way, Sun Valley Commons, Bethel Lane and Archie Hargette Road.
The proposed Boulevard cross section consists of four travel lanes (two lanes in each direction), a divided median, a sidewalk on one side and a multi-use path on the other side. The proposed Village Center cross section consists of four travel lanes (two lanes in each direction), a divided median, buffered bike lanes, tree zones and wide sidewalks on both sides of the roadway.
The multimodal transportation plan integrates existing and projected land use patterns with strategic transportation needs and improvements along Wesley Chapel Road to account for future growth and managing access and volumes. The overall vision for mobility and development along the corridor includes implementation strategies and performance criteria that supports the Town and community vision as well as the 2014 Town of Indian trail Comprehensive Plan.
