Improve mobility and connectivity for people who walk, bike, use transit, and drive. 

Project Description

Resurfacing is an opportunity to restripe roadways to improve safety for people who walk, bike, use transit, and drive. Resurfacing occurs on State and City-owned and maintained roadways to improve and preserve pavement conditions. However, because this project uses roads that already exist, improvements are limited to changes to pavement paint markings. For example, you can improve or add bike lanes and crosswalks, but this project will not allow you to address needs beyond the width of the road, such as building a new sidewalk. 

Additionally, changes proposed by the City to Main St. which is a State-owned roadway, must adhere to NCDOT standards, so there may not be as many opportunities for improvements on these roadways.

PROJECT SCHEDULEProject Schedule Status

The City of Durham Transportation Department is conducting field investigation and traffic analysis, developing the design plans, and will hold one engagement meeting and pop-up event for Main Street. The team began data collection in December 2023 and is currently in the public engagement phase.

Upcoming community engagement

The City will host public open houses and pop-up meetings for each corridor in winter and early spring 2024. Beginning in January, City staff will host public open houses and pop-up events to discuss pavement marking changes for each roadway. Planners and engineers will attend these events to explain the work, gather feedback, and answer questions.
