The Council Open House Session for the Draft Mobility and Connectivity Plan will be held on Wednesday, October 11th in the first floor conference room of Town Hall between 5:30 pm and 6:45 p.m.
This open house will be an opportunity for Council members to become familiar with the Plan and ask the consultants and staff questions. Town Council will consider adopting the Plan at their October 25th meeting. Members of the public and advisory boards are invited to attend.
About the Plan In 2016, the Town of Chapel Hill Planning and Development Services Department initiated this planning effort in consultation with Stewart Inc., an engineering, design and planning firm located in Raleigh, Durham and Charlotte.
The Mobility and Connectivity Plan outlines the steps necessary for Chapel Hill to become a community where bicycling, walking, and taking transit are safe and convenient, everyday choices. The draft plan is an overall network exercise looking at bicycle, pedestrian, and greenway connectivity, along with transit stop access, throughout the Town. It includes a prioritized list of both short- and long-term projects to improve non-motorized transportation opportunities in Chapel Hill. The Mobility Plan will complement and expand upon existing adopted plans including the Chapel Hill Bike Plan (2014), and the Greenways Master Plan (2013).
Next Steps
Town Staff is wrapping up final comments from the public and advisory boards and will seek Council adoption on October 25th.
