analysis and develop alternative plans. The federal DOT program to reconnect communities is making grants to try to remedy damages to communities made by freeways construction (for example, in Durham, the freeway took out 34 of the 50 community connections
that used to exist). Our program is called “pathways to connection” since we don’t want to presume that the answer
<u>has</u> to be to continue to have a freeway. The objective is to get community input and use it to create a plan. A group of institutional stakeholders is also meeting quarterly. The study area is from Swift Avenue to I-885, roughly. Hayti Reborn has
some powerful videos on how building the freeway disrupted communities. There are a number of events (tours, concerts, etc); sign-up is on the website. There is also a survey on the website:
