Anyhow, hoping others can help the OP out with her original questions as 540 has been discussed at length.

I moved out of a home after 4 years because of changes to traffic patterns and the road network surrounding the neighborhood. I knew they were coming-they were all mapped out, just like the projected path of 540 thru Woodcreek, when we bought the home. The thing is, you don't really know what it will be like until it actually happens.
If I were from out of town I would want to know all sides of the argument regarding 540.
I would also want input from people other than those currently building in Woodcreek (a data point that you chose to leave out until the post after this one). Lemme guess-you are building a John Wieland Home? One of the ones that in your own words
"are not close enough to 540 to have any issues as those lots have Lockley Rd between the clubhouse and 540" ? Or are those the words of the onsite agent?
You decided to build in Woodcreek based on
your perception of the impact or lack of impact 540 may have on the community. You gathered as much data as you thought you needed, and made a decision.
Not everyone sees it your way, and you won't know until the bulldozers roll. There will be construction noise for a long period of time and road noise to follow. The construction will impact Sunset Lake Road for a considerable length of time-they have to install not one but two overpasses in the area, one being pretty close to Woodcreek's front gate. If you haven't noticed, Sunset Lake already backs up considerably at evening commute times heading towards the light at Holly Springs Road-throw in some construction based lane closures and people will be impacted regardless of where in Woodcreek their home is located.
540 decimated the values and the perception of certain West Cary neighborhoods when the last phase was constructed. It was constructed within a long established corridor with a wide buffer-it did not directly touch any neighborhood, and it went exactly where everyone knew it was going to be, yet the impact was (and continues to be) a negative. Unforeseen events took place, including the backdoor sale of a portion of buffer to Progress Energy (the area to the east of the highway near the Carpenter Fire Station overpass that now contains zero trees and a bunch of 100 foot tall rusty power poles).
Some people consider 540 a dealbreaker for the neighborhood. Just because you do not does not mean that yours is the only acceptable viewpoint.
I hope your build and ownership goes just the way you wish it to. I will continue trying to help people. If you consider that an affront to your decision, I am sorry.
