AGENDA #3a(8)

To:      Chapel Hill Town Council

Date:   September 7, 2006

Re:      Smith Level Road Task Force creation

Smith Level Road is a scenic country road running along the perimeter of the University Lake watershed. Several farms are still operational along the road and recently a new riding stable has gone into business. Smith Level has also become a favorite shortcut for large tractor trailers traveling between 15-501 and highway 54 and for commuters who work in town and reside in counties south of Orange. While the posted speed limit on Smith Level is 45, the average speed is closer to 55.

We, the undersigned residents of south Orange County who live on or just off Smith Level Road, are concerned about this volume of traffic, and especially the heavy truck traffic. We expect the current situation to worsen between now and fall 2007 when Carrboro High School opens.

We hereby request the participation of the Chapel Hill Town Council on an intergovernmental Smith Level Road Task Force, similar to the successful Homestead Road task force, to identify proactive safety measures that will: 

  1. Protect the fragile land within the watershed
  2. Provide a safe, non-vehicular trail or sidewalks to Carrboro High School for children living along Smith Level Road between the Carrboro town limit and 15-501
  3. Provide safe access for residents whose driveways or subdivisions are located on or along Smith Level.

Thank you for your consideration.
