Nice : Reconstitution 3D du Château-Visite des fouilles de l’ancienne cathédrale de la colline du Château - France 3 Côte d’Azur
Shouldn't we have a 3D representation of Obey Creek with moving parts? That is to say - if we had such a model, bits and pieces of it could be moved about, traffic patterns noted, etc.

How many bus passengers transit each day on 15-501 measured in all directions at intersection of Market Street and 15-501? I think all buses pass that point coming and going.
How many cars do the same? Trucks?
Total number of people passing that intersection in the course of various days at various times and periods of time?

Update from Town
"Coming Up: Obey Creek
and Obey Creek Compass Committee events
The Obey
Creek Compass Committee, appointed by the Town Council, continues its work of
providing information, soliciting community response and fostering community
participation in the development of a site concept plan for the proposed Obey
Creek development.
Obey Creek is a 124-acre property under consideration for a mixed use development proposed for the area across South 15-501 from Southern Village. It is one of two potential developments using a new development agreement process. The committee is scheduled to provide the Council with a report and an outline of issues this fall to be discussed should the project move into a Development Agreement negotiation.
Obey Creek and Obey Creek Compass Committee events include the following:
Aug. 8: Obey Creek 101: A Primer for the Obey Creek Compass Committee will take place 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 8, in Meeting Room B of the Chapel Hill Public Library. This information session will provide members of the Obey Creek Compass Committee with an overview of the South 15-501 focus area and general principles adopted in the Chapel Hill 2020 Comprehensive Plan, as well as information on a variety of topics associated with the area and potential development, including existing conditions of the Obey Creek site, traffic, environmental issues and economic development issues.
Aug. 12: Victor Dover of Dover, Kohl & Partners, a member of the Development Agreement Technical Team, will offer a special topic presentation on best practices for new development at 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 12, in Meeting Room A of the Chapel Hill Public Library. Dover is a lecturer who presents regularly around the nation on the topics of livable communities and sustainable development. He is the immediate past national chair of the Congress for the New Urbanism.
Aug. 13: The Obey Creek Compass Committee will meet with the Development Agreement Technical Team at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 13 in the Great Hall at Extraordinary Ventures, 200 S. Elliot Road, Chapel Hill, NC 27514. This will provide the Technical Team with an opportunity to hear directly from the Obey Creek Compass Committee about general principles for the South 15-501 focus area and issues that the committee believes should be addressed in the Technical Team's report to Council.
Aug. 19: The Obey Creek Compass Committee will meet on Monday, Aug. 19, to identify key topics for consideration in the development agreement process and prioritize the key topics for further discussion. Logistical details regarding this meeting will be forthcoming soon.
The Obey Creek planning process is one of many public input opportunities of DESIGN Chapel Hill 2020, the title given to the implementation phase of Chapel Hill 2020, the community's new comprehensive plan. Learn more about all projects at www.townofchapelhill.org/design.
Obey Creek is within Area 6: South 15-501, one of six future focus areas outlined in Chapel Hill 2020. Future focus areas are portions of Chapel Hill most likely to change in the future due to vacant land, underdeveloped sites, and their locations along transportation and transit corridors. In total, these areas represent about 24 percent of the land in Chapel Hill, and they do not include the predominately single-family areas and neighborhoods of Chapel Hill. The town's other focus areas are Area 1: Downtown Chapel Hill; Area 2: North Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard/I-40; Area 3: South Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard/Homestead Road to Estes Drive; Area 4: Highway 54; and Area 5: Ephesus-Fordham.
