Mayor Bell, City Council Members and Department Directors:

 

The information below was brought to our attention this morning  Please
note this news release was NOT issued by the City of Durham, and the
information contained in the release is fictitious.  Apparently, it was
the sender's failed attempt at an April Fool's joke.  The sender, who
was contacted this morning, says that he sent it to only about 30
people, but to our knowledge it has been passed to PACs 1 and 3.  If you
have any questions or concerns, please contact the Public Affairs Office
at 560-4123, x11229.  

 

Thank you,

Beverly B. Thompson

Public Affairs Director

For Immediate Release:  April 1, 2010

DURHAM, N.C. - Due to the success of the first phase of the Durham
Circular Vitalization project, the City of Durham is proud to announce
round two.  Woodcroft Parkway will be the first street to receive
additional traffic circles, expanding the use of this highly successful
traffic flow measure from one to nine.  Traffic circles have been found
to be the most effective way for traffic to flow, and will also beautify
the community.

"We are very pleased with the response from the community.  Woodcroft
was found especially receptive to the Durham Circular Vitalization
project, maybe in part to the high number of immigrants from other
countries where city planners have already made extensive use of the
traffic circle."

 

This project was funded by a federal No Child Left Behind grant.  The
City of Durham is an equal opportunity employer.
