Planning & Transportation
In a February work session of the county commissioners, Chapel Hill mayor Mark Kleinschmidt took the podium to present a sweeping overview of the past 25 years of his town's approach to land use planning. Speaking with the didactic urgency we now expect from Kleinschmidt when he's both prepared and fired up, the mayor encouraged the commissioners to maintain their commitment to long-term planning for public transportation by adopting the Orange County transit plan.
The UNC Roosevelt Institute is hosting a speaker panel + Q&A on Monday, Oct. 8th at 7 p.m. in Howell 104.
Speakers will discuss how the 1/2-cent transit sales tax will work in
Orange County, why it's necessary for our transit future in the
Triangle, and the economic and environmental benefits of making these
investments.
Parking available on campus at Cobb Parking Deck or at the Wallace Deck at 150 E. Rosemary Street. Howell Hall is located between the Morehead Planetarium and E. Cameron Avenue; map available here.

- Bernadette Pelissier, Chair of the Orange County Board of Commissioners
