INC NEWS - Pedestrian Plan Survey Available Online

[Barry Ragin]

Thanks Randy, I was just getting ready to send this out, but I see you 
beat me to it.

As a reminder, the final Public workshop for the Durham pedestrian plan 
will be held Thursday night, 7/21, from 5-8 pm, at Southwest Elementary 
School. if you were unable to attend any of the previous workshops, 
please try to make it to this one.

Also, I am collecting suggestions/comments about areas in your 
neighborhood that may need upgrades in pedestrian features, and 
especially those that may not show up in a statistical analysis. For 
example, an intersection that really needs a cross-walk, but is 
underused because "everyone knows" how dangerous it is to try to cross 
the street there.

Email your responses to durhampedstudy at yahoo.com

I will not be answering emails sent to that address, but i will be 
gathering all responses and forwarding them to the Pedestrian Plan group.
