Durham Hosts LaSalle Street Proposed Sidewalk Facilities Meeting
Drop-In Style Meeting to Collect Resident Input on 65% Design Plans

DURHAM, N.C. - If you live, work, or travel along LaSalle Street in Durham, you’ll want to mark your calendar for a meeting later this month to discuss sidewalk facility designs<https://durhamnc.gov/3307/Design-Services-for-LaSalle-Street-SW-52> for this busy roadway.

The City of Durham Public Works Department is now in the 65% design phase for pedestrian facilities along both sides of LaSalle Street between Kangaroo Drive and Hillsborough Road and along one side of LaSalle Street from Hillsborough Road to Sprunt Avenue. The goal of the project is to improve pedestrian accommodations which includes the installation of sidewalks and accessibility ramps.

A drop-in style meeting to share the designs and collect resident feedback is set for Tuesday, July 23 from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the E.K. Powe Elementary School Cafeteria, located at 913 9th Street. Residents will be able to review the 65% design plans showing right-of-way, temporary and permanent easements, ask questions of Public Works staff, and provide input before the department completes the final design plans.

For residents who cannot attend this meeting, maps, meeting handouts, and comment forms to collect feedback will be available after the meeting date on the project website at https://durhamnc.gov/3307/Design-Services-for-LaSalle-Street-SW-52. Resident feedback is due by August 6.
