Farther Futures
• Main Street will continue to be loaded with more retail.
• The town has few alternative arterials.
• More Roundabouts may make sense along Main Street
• Expect more growth of commercial/office along Hirst Rd.
• There is a genuine priority for another freeway ramp system located at Hillsboro Rd. Crossing – it may take 10 years to accomplish.
• In the meantime (5-10yrs) the Town and VDOT must launch traffic management increments (most probable without street widening) to accommodate the residents and regional markets.
