DurhamWalks! Pedestrian Plan Report Shows Progress Being Made 

There's progress to report on Durham's efforts to become a more
pedestrian and bicycle-friendly city. A recent update on the
DurhamWalks! Pedestrian Plan shows that while funding for the sidewalk
projects included in the plan is still extremely limited, progress has
been made over the past year and will continue to be made over the next
five years. Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator Dale McKeel offers a more
detailed look at the report and how the projects are prioritized.

 

Durham's Small Business Owners SCORE Big 

Durham-based entrepreneurs and small business owners now have a new
resource at their disposal. The Service Corps of Retired Executives
(SCORE) has opened in Durham. The group is offering one-on-one sessions
with experienced business mentors. Durham SCORE will also provide
business workshops and seminars on topics specific to the needs of
Durham's business community. Appointments for one-on-one sessions can
now be made at http://www.score.org.
