Durham Hosts Proposed Hillandale Road Bike/Pedestrian Facilities Meeting

Drop-In Style Meeting to Collect Resident Input on Design Plans



DURHAM, N.C. - If you live, work, or travel along Hillandale Road in Durham, you'll want to mark your calendar for a meeting later this month to discuss bicycle and pedestrian designs for this busy roadway.



The City of Durham Public Works Department is now preparing designs for bicycle and pedestrian facilities<http://durhamnc.gov/3220/Design-Services-for-Hillandale-Rd-SW-46D> along Hillandale Road from I-85 to the N.C. Highway 147, and staff wants to share their work and get resident input.



The drop-in style meeting is set for Wednesday, January 31 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Durham Public Schools Staff Development Center Cafeteria, located at 2107 Hillandale Road. Residents will be able to review design options, ask questions of City staff, and provide input before the department completes the design work. This is a bicycle and pedestrian project only, so it will not include road widening to expand the traffic capacity or the intersections within this corridor. For residents who can't attend this meeting, maps and a comment form to collect their feedback will be available after the January 31 meeting on the project website<http://durhamnc.gov/3220/Design-Services-for-Hillandale-Rd-SW-46D>. Online feedback is requested by February 14. A second meeting will be scheduled for this project at a later date after receiving input and developing the preferred option.
