"Highway Patrol seeks clues in deaths of Chapel Hill bicyclists" - NewsObserver.com

This tragedy seems to me to be relevant to Obey Creek. Two deaths is two too many on the very road that runs alongside Obey Creek. How do we make as certain as we can that this will not happen again?

I don't think enough attention has been paid to the safety of people crossing 15-501. The bridge idea addresses some of that, but only if it gets used. Would it/will it?

Terri Buckner: Chapel Hill needs more tools, fewer hammers | My View | ChapelHillNews.com

"Figuring out what to do about local businesses has to start with an assessment - that I have never seen - of the "stock" of local businesses we have in Chapel Hill. Which ones make the list? A locally-owned franchise? Southern Season? Or limited to the smallest like Chapel Hill's oldest - Lacock's? Do we support them because they are "local" and/or because they provide products or services that we value through our patronage? It seems to me that we have a pretty tiny collection of businesses that are "special" in some way that we all want to protect and preserve. Just for example, which are the local businesses - with some description of why they are important - in the Ephesus-Fordham area? I think we could get our arms around the bigger issues if we have in front of us the details of the small ones."
