Committee discusses Antrim Boulevard alignment, Cross Mill industrial corridor and future road connections
Summary
Members reviewed proposed road alignments tied to new development proposals, noted constraints from sight distance and floodplain, and asked staff to update transportation maps to reflect current proposals including the likely Antrim Boulevard alignment and industrial land along Cross Mill Road.
The committee reviewed transportation elements of the draft comprehensive plan including proposed alignments for the Antrim Boulevard extension, potential connections between Cross Mill Road and Route 194, and areas proposed for future industrial use.
Committee members and staff discussed that the Cross Mill corridor and properties near Evapco are currently shown as future industrial on the plan map and that the town should preserve potential industrial land near the planned bypass. Members asked staff to show recent annexations and to align planned major‑street corridors with the latest developer concept plans, including a likely Antrim Boulevard alignment that will meet sight‑distance requirements on Route 194 and may form a four‑leg intersection (or ultimately a roundabout) where the new road meets 140/194.
Staff noted that any alignment will need refinement, could require coordination with developers and county agencies, and will be constrained by floodplains in several places. Committee members asked staff to update maps to reflect current developer proposals and to coordinate with county GIS so the plan's road classifications and proposed connectors match county and developer data.
Ending: Staff will update the transportation maps and show the Antrim Boulevard connection options and revised alignment for the next committee packet and will coordinate with county GIS and project engineers.
