Letter: Thanks for action

Posted on October 21, 2010 by Staff

I’d like to second the sentiments in your recent editorial “Right Call on Smith Level Road” (10/7/10). For too long, Carrboro has talked the talk on bikeways, greenways and alternative transportation, but seems to be eternally stuck in paralysis and inaction. I’d like to express my thanks to the mayor and board of aldermen for all of their thankless work in finally moving Carrboro toward a position of walking the walk when it comes to the alternative-transportation aspects of the final agreement.

With the major growth slated for both Chapel Hill and Carrboro, safe, off-road, non-motorized transportation corridors that connect neighborhoods, commercial centers, workplaces and schools should become a priority for now and the future.

Hopefully, this is a trend for the future and Carrboro can begin to catch up with all of its nearby and regional neighbors in providing bikeablility, alternate transportation and greenways for us and future generations.
