RE:              Complete the Streets

On May 16, 2008, the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership board of directors met and reviewed a presentation on Complete Streets.  The board endorsed the program and asked that the Downtown Partnership be included in the review process for when such a program was drafted for Chapel Hill.

The board unanimously felt that Chapel Hill would gain tremendous benefit from design standards that supported pedestrians, bicycles, automobiles, transit, and even scooters and motorcycles in relation to safety, traffic and parking.

The Downtown Partnership encourages the Town Council to consider this program for Chapel Hill.
