2The Daily Tar HeelWednesday, November 28, 1990 Chapel Hffl to consider at meeting building town By NICOLE PEREZ Stan Writer The town of Chapel Hill may build a $200,000 bicycle path that would run from Airport Road to Elizabeth Street. The town staff will hold a meeting at 7 p.m. in the Municipal Building's council chamber to discuss the proposal. The public will be permitted to enter at 6:30 p.m. to look at maps and ask infor mal questions. "The meeting will primarily be an informational exchange between the public and the town," said B ill Webster, Chapel Hill's administrative officer. "We're hoping to give information to Police advise taking precautions after rash of area break-ins during holidays From staff reports A rash of break-ins throughout Chapel Hill occurred while residents were away over the Thanksgiving holiday, according to police reports. Most of the burglaries took place at apartment complexes, and entry was usually obtained by breaking locks on doors or by breaking through windows. No connection has been established in the cases. Chapel Hill police said. Robert Frick, crime prevention offi CW' 'Ltr lion 135 E. Franklin St Utx JL JL Please join members of our management team to discuss career opportunities in banking at NCNB. The the public and get information from them. A lot of folks will be concerned with how close the path will be to their property, and we hope to answer their questions." . While the town has a plan for the path, the exact details have not. been worked out yet, said Andy Sachs, chairman of the Greenways Commis sion. "We haven't even designed the path," Webster said Tuesday. "We've just developed a proposed center line which tells specifically where the trail is going to go. After we have input from the public, we'll do all the engineering." cer for the Chapel Hill police, said that in addition to locking doors and win dows, residents should take several other precautions before they leave their homes for an extended period of time. "Probably the best thing to do is find someone who is not going to be out of town to check on the residence while the occupant is away," Frick said. "(Residents) may also consider taking any small valuable items that can be easily carried with them."

"The path will eventually go to Franklin Street, but that's another phase," Starkey said. "It will be used by both bicyclists and pedestrians, and it won't affect the flow of traffic because it will go through the woods." Sachs said, "Some trees will have to be cut down, but I don't think any re markable specimens will be touched. After all, environmental protection was one reason the path was created." Residents should also put radios and lights on timers set to turn on in the evening hours, Frick said. This would give potential burglars the impression that the dwelling was occupied, he said. In addition to apartment burglaries, acts of vandalism were also reported. Several vehicles were vandalized and items were taken from within. Frick said thieves had obviously taken ad vantage of vacationers who had left vehicles and residences unattended. s IK OS O a Chapel Hill will someday have a network of bicycle paths allowing people to use different means of travel, Starkey said. "Eventually, this Greenway system will be a series of paths that will connect the whole town, and then you'll be able to just hop on a bike and go wherever you want," he said. "It's a question of having an alternate form of transporta tion. You won't have to hop in a car to get from point A to point B." Sachs said that the paths would en courage people to cycle and walk and WEDNESDAY Noon: The Institute of Latin American Studies presents a brown bag lunch talk.
