Bicycle/Pedestrian/Traffic Management
Traffic volume, traffic speed and safety, rush hour congestion, and conflicts with pedestrians, joggers, dog walkers, and bicyclists along Trenton and Reedy Creek Roads
A development containing 265 apartments and 61 town homes that will almost triple the number of households in the corridor and substantially increase traffic has been proposed for land on the Cary side of Trenton Road next to I-40.
In December 2023, the proposal was presented to the Cary Development Review Committee, who provided comments and requested a traffic study, which will take three to four months.
The 21.7 acres of land, which contains Roscoe Trail, is currently zoned for office and institutional use, and no re-zoning application can be submitted until completion of the traffic study. Maps and details are provided on the ARCTC site at About Us/Activities in the Corridor/Roscoe Trail Proposed Development.
Mission Statement The Alliance for Reedy Creek Trenton Corridor (ARCTC) exists to preserve and enhance the safety and environment of the area along Trenton and Reedy Creek Roads. We support and are committed to protecting the park, forest, lake, creeks, farms, and greenways within the corridor and promote the safety of neighbors and recreational users of this area.
The Corridor consists of all residences and neighborhoods on or intersecting with Reedy Creek Road and Trenton Road between Edwards Mill Road (northeast) and Trinity Road (southwest). Urban treasures including William B. Umstead State Park, Richland Lake, and NCSU’s Carl Alwin Schenck Memorial Forest, the Equine Educational Unit and Small Ruminant Educational Unit are recognized as valuable resources to those within and outside the corridor.
