N.C.'s left-turn signals getting makeover :: WRAL.com
One of the Obey Creek issues that will have to be addressed regardless of development is the hazard of the left turn on amber flashing into Market Street. It is dangerous enough, but when combined with permitted U turn there and is especially treacherous when there is a car in the oppposing left turn lane at night with headlights. The angle of the slope brings normal headlight beams into the eyes of the other driver, or at least that was my experience the other night. Perhaps the other car had its lights on high beam, and this needs to be checked.
140 West Franklin
What can we learn from the retail that is there now, and may be coming? Why is some space still vacant? What is the message? Are we proud of what is there? If we could pick the retail we most wanted, out of need, for Obey Creek, what would it be? Layout the property with the stores you'd like to see there because you, preferably need them, or at least think you want them.
15-501 and 54 intersection
Shouldn't we be imagining what difference it might make to turn the current intersection into a traffic circle? Perhaps the current road could form part of a pedestrian bridge into the University from the south?
What is lacking now that Walmart is down the street?
What do we "need" that we don't have easily at hand? Imagine a sidewalk or trail that actually extended as far as Walmart from the Obey Creek property. Imagine the value if people really chose to walk or bike there!

It seems to me that this suggests a fresh look at Obey Creek.
