OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT

The Town of Chapel Hill is planning the North-South Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project, an approximately 8-mile transit route with 17 stations that will connect downtown Chapel Hill, the University of North Carolina, and residential and commercial areas along Columbia Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard from Southern Village to the Eubanks Road Park-and-Ride Lot. The project includes new bicycle and pedestrian facilities alongside the BRT route for most of its length. Construction and operation of the project would require some minor changes to the following parks and trails:
- Southern Community Park
- Fan Branch Trail
- Bolin Creek Trail
- Carolina North Forest (PSNC Corridor)
- Homestead Park and Upper Booker Trail
The Town is seeking public comment on potential impacts to the parks and trails. The comment period will open on July 19, 2021 and close on August 19, 2021.
