Last Tuesday, Joy and Martin went to Grey Culbreth Middle School, where the N.C. Department of Transportation was hosting a public information session about plans to widen Columbia Street from Purefoy Road to Manning Drive. The road widening, approved by the Chapel Hill Town Council, would add two sidewalks, two bike lanes and a turning lane. “We went to show our support for the bike lanes because there are blind curves and it’s dangerous,” Joy said. Location: Person Hall Nursing meeting: The Association of Nursing Students will hold its first meeting of the year. Pizza will be served, a guest speaker from the UNC Platelet Donor Center will answer questions about blood platelet donation and events to donate blood platelets and a junior representative will be elected. Membership dues also will be col lected during the meeting.

Events will be published in the newspaper on the Thursday before they take place. Submissions must be sent in by 5 p.m. the preceding Tuesday. (Eljp Wy (Jar Hrri Her roommate agreed. “There have been times when the cars come a little too close for comfort,” Martin said. The two rising seniors rent a house on Chase Avenue, just off South Columbia, and said they bike to school and work when they can because it is better for the environment and because parking on campus is scarce and inconvenient. Road work is slated to begin in 2009. Mike Mills, a DOT division engi neer who helped develop plans for the project, said there was not much opposition to the plan voiced at Tuesday’s information session. “This one was fairly quiet,” he said. The DOTs original plan for wid ening Columbia Street, drafted in the mid-19905, called for two traffic lanes to be added to the street. But public reaction to the extra lanes was unfavorable, and the plan was ultimately rejected by the Town Council in 1998. UNC Health Care adminis trators, who favored adding the lanes to improve access to UNC Hospitals, are satisfied with the current plan, said Karen McCall, vice president of public affairs and marketing. Mills said the turning lane included in the new plan would ease traffic on Columbia Street and provide a thoroughfare for ambulances and emergency vehi cles if an accident were to block the road. Chapel Hill Mayor Kevin Foy said he was optimistic about the project as well. “This has been a long time com ing,” he said. Martin and Joy said that while they might not personally ben efit from the road widening, it will be good for the community as a whole. “Obviously, the project is not going to be finished by fire time we graduate,” Martin said. “For future students, we think it’s going to be an important thing to do, and that’s why we went.” Contact the City Editor at citydesk@unc.edu.
