Joint committee to iron out kinks in UNC's land-use plan
By RON CRAWFORD
University Editor
Members of a joint committee
that was formed to review UNC
and Chapel Hill's thoroughfare
plan met July 28 and began to
examine the University and the
town's plans for future
development.
The committee was formed July
1 by Chapel Hill Mayor James
Wallace and Chancellor Chris
topher Fordham after a University
plan for physical development was
greeted with overwhelmingly neg
ative response in a public hearing
June 1.
Many area residents voiced
their concern that the plan, which
calls for several major roads to be
built through residential areas,
does not take student and resident
interests into consideration.
But Johnson, Johnson, and
Roy, the Ann Arbor, Mich.,
consulting firm that designed the
$180,000 plan, says the proposed
roads are necessary to relieve
expected traffic problems in future
years.
Fordham said he postponed
presentation of the plan to the
UNC Board of Trustees until
August 28 in order to answer

questions and consider
refinements."
The 10-member advisory com
mittee, which is composed of
representatives of both UNC and
the town of Chapel Hill, was
directed by Wallace and Fordham
to report on the problems that
a well-conceived and generally
satisfactory thoroughfare plan
must resolve, the present and

future needs that it must address
and the steps that must be taken
to bring it into existence."
Richard Cole, dean of the
School of Journalism and a com
mittee member, said the commit
tee will try to formulate a plan that
is mutually agreeable to both the
town and the University.
Cole said the committee would
concentrate on the thoroughfare
issue, but other aspects of the land
use plan such as physical
development on campus would
also be examined.
"Obviously, we are still in the
information-gathering stage and
will be for quite a while," Cole
said.
Cole said the committee's July
28 meeting featured a detailed
presentation of the land-use plan
by representatives of Johnson,
Johnson, and Roy. The next
meeting, scheduled for August 25,
will feature similar presentations
by University officials, Cole said.
On Sept. 9 the committee will
meet to discuss the presentations,
and on Sept. 22 a public meeting
will be held to hear comments
from community residents, Cole
said.
