September 2013
The Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC) is the
policy body within the DCHC-MPO which coordinates and makes decisions on transportation
planning issues.
The Transportation Advisory Committee is comprised of elected and
appointed officials from the City of Durham, the Town of Chapel Hill,
the Town of Carrboro, the Town of Hillsborough, Durham County, Orange
County, Chatham County, and the North Carolina Department of
Transportation. The TAC also has advisory (non-voting) members from
Triangle Transit, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Research
Triangle Foundation of North Carolina.
The Transportation Advisory Committee is governed by a set of Bylaws (25 KB), revised November 9, 2005.
The
TAC normally meets the second Wednesday of each month in the Durham
City Council Committee Room at 9 a.m. There is typically no meeting in
July. Some meetings may take place in the evening to facilitate
participation in public hearings. Check the calendar for upcoming
meeting dates.

Annual Meeting: September 9, 2013
Owners: if you didn't RSVP you can still come to tonight's meeting. It might be standing room only. (We'll find seats for those who need them.)
We are excited to have Gar Alperovitz speak at this year’s Annual Meeting. Gar is a leading thinker about developing a new economy based on community enterprise. In his latest book, What Then Must We Do?, Gar speaks directly to the reader about where we find ourselves in history, why the time is right for a new-economy movement to coalesce, what it means to build a new system to replace the crumbling one, and how we might begin. He proposes a possible next system that is not corporate capitalism, not state socialism, but something else entirely—and something entirely American.

Rosemary Imagined, the town's initiative to transform Rosemary Street into a more vibrant part of downtown, held its second event last night at TRU Deli + Wine. Unlike most town events I've been to, this event was held as a social, where attendees could mingle and talk about their thoughts on Rosemary Street freely among each other.
I was able to attend most of the event, and I have to give Meg McGurk, the Executive Director for the Downtown Partnership, and Dwight Bassett, the town's Economic Development Officer, major credit for succeeding in opening the engagement process up to people you don't often see show up for public meetings. Specifically, there were far more young people at this event than any town event I've been to in the past - and given how Rosemary Street and downtown appear to be developing with our town's sizable young population in mind, it's great to see that we're being included in the process of determining what Rosemary Street will become in the future.
