BoCC meeting Oct 4th - landfill decision?

Submitted by James Barrett on October 4, 2011 - 7:53pm

I'm at the Orange County Board of County Commissioners meeting tonight to hear the latest on the landfill and Rogers Road mitigation.  I'm spending a night outside the school district and talking about issues that won't help me get elected, so it must be important.  The attachment (link below) has a county manager proposal that closes the landfill in 2013, and also addresses some of the mitigation items requested by the community.  Looking forward to BoCC reaction -- are we going to finally do something for this community or push it further along the road?

Haiku Contest for International Car Free Day!

Submitted by SarahBruce on September 7, 2011 - 1:31pm
To celebrate Car Free Day, The Village Project wants to hear about your experiences with cars and their ills or your thoughts on ways to go car-lite. But, we want it in a haiku!

Have you ever been in a town where walking, biking, or public transit is a viable way to get around on a regular basis? Do you miss that freedom?
Have you ever gone a day, week, month, or year without driving a car, but were still able to get around?
Does it strike you as silly that the Triangle doesn’t yet have a commuter rail system?
