CHAPTER 6:SHAPE Materials used for pedestrian paths in the Crossroads Village should be contextually appropriate, avoiding concrete and asphalt. New op ons exist today, such as this resin-bonded gravel path in Britain. Shown to the right, is the view north across old Morrisville-Carpenter Road. The property on the le lies between NC Hwy 55 and the railroad corridor. Note the simple hedgerow buffer that separates the property from the railroad. The buffer pictured is about 30-40 feet wide, including por ons exis ng on the railroad right-of-way. Shown below is the view northward on Carpenter Upchurch Road, approaching the Historic Crossroads. Roads like this in and around the Crossroads Village should be retained largely as is – that is, as a typical 2-lane rural road without curb, gu er, or sidewalk. An off-street network of pedestrian paths will provide pedestrian connec vity. 192
