In March of 2010, the Transportation Planning Branch of the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) and Watauga County initiated a study to cooperatively develop the Watauga County Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP), which includes Boone, Blowing Rock, Seven Devils, and Beech Mountain. The CTP is a long range multi-modal transportation plan that covers transportation needs through 2040. Modes of transportation evaluated as part of the plan include: highway, public transportation and rail, bicycle, and pedestrian. Findings of the CTP study were based on an analysis of the transportation system, environmental screening, and public input. The Watauga CTP was mutually adopted by Watauga County and the towns of Boone, Blowing Rock, Seven Devils, Beech Mountain, NCDOT, and endorsed by the High Country RPO in 2014. Since the adoption of the Watauga CTP, the US 421 (King Street) project (U-4020) from NC 194 to US 321 (Hardin Street) has been completed and a study has been undertaken by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to analyze alignment alternatives for a new connector road between NC 105 and ASU campus. In addition, the Town of Boone adopted the Town of Boone Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan on April 24, 2014. On April 20, 2017, the Boone Town Council approved the Boone Transportation Committee’s recommendation to begin a revision of the 2014 Watauga County CTP to eliminate the Homespun Hills connection as an option for the NC 105/Bodenheimer Drive Connector and reflect the recommendation that came out of a project study by NCDOT. Additionally, the Boone Town Council requested that revisions be made to the Bicycle and Pedestrian CTP maps to reflect the 2014 Town of Boone Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan that was adopted after the Watauga County CTP was adopted. Also, the US 421 (King Street) project (U-4020) from NC 194 to US 321 (Hardin Street) has been completed, and the facility is shown as an existing boulevard. The 2017 revised highway, bicycle, and pedestrian maps reflect these changes.
