[Durham INC] Fw: NC 54 - Public Drop-in Session

[Melissa Rooney]

See below. I wish I could be more involved in this, as it is right near my kids' 
school. I have written these guys with my request that a public bus stop be put 
around here at the very least so parents without easily accessible cars can get 
to Creekside for special events, to volunteer, etc., but I also think it could 
help with Durham traffic in this area in the long run. Chapel Hill and Carrboro 
have free bussing, but this doesn't help Durham residents who need to get to a 
Durham public school. Plus if Durham dropped off here, and Chapel Hill picked up 
here, then people could get from Durham to Chapel Hill for work, play, etc.

NC-54/I-40 Corridor Study Phase II - Public Drop-in Sessions Scheduled
March 29, 2011 and April 11, 2011
 
The Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO), 
City of Durham, Durham County, and the Town of Chapel Hill will host an informal 
drop-in session on March 29 and April 11, 2011 to obtain citizen input on 
transportation alternatives for the NC 54 corridor near the I-40 Interchange and 
Farrington Road.  This analysis is in response to citizen feedback received on 
the recommendations included in the draft report released in August 2010 
http://www.nc54-i40corridorstudy.com/pdffiles/FINALPublicComments_NC54Draft_122210.pdf.
 
 
The study team has completed the initial roadway analysis identified in the 
Phase II work plan 
(http://www.nc54-i40corridorstudy.com/pdffiles/NC54_PhaseII_WorkPlan.pdf).  
Several preliminary roadway alternatives are now available for review and 
consideration.  Before advancing to a more in-depth technical analysis, the 
study team would like to share the alternatives with the public in-order to seek 
guidance and input.  

 
Citizens are invited to drop by any time between 4:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. to view 
the alternatives, talk with staff, and complete a comment card.  A short 
presentation will be given on the hour at 4:00, 5:00, and 6:00.  

 
For more information, please contact Leta Huntsinger with the DCHC MPO at (919) 
560-4366 ext. 36423 or via e-mail at leta.huntsinger at durhamnc.gov. Meeting 
details follow.
