Speed warning signs were installed on Dogwood Acres Drive on Monday at Southern Community Park. The Town of Chapel Hill has announced plans to install speed tables as well.
The Chapel Hill Town Council authorized the speed tables in order to slow traffic and maximize pedestrian safety as part of the park development plan. Southern Community Park is under construction and is scheduled to open later this fall. The $4.7 million park project features three athletic/soccer fields, two basketball courts, an inline hockey court, a two-acre dog park, a meadow area, trails, a play area and a disk golf course.
