A controversial proposal to extend
Pittsboro Street encountered a set
back last week when the Chapel Hill
planning board voted to recommend
removal of the proposal from the
town's transportation improvement
plan.
The Chapel Hill planning board
voted 6-2 to recommend that the
proposal be removed from a plan
designed to improve town streets.
"The proposal was put on the
overall throughway plan for good
reasons, and it shouldn't be taken off
without careful consideration," plan
ning board member Julian Raney
said.
There has been an increase of
traffic in Chapel Hill, especially at the
intersection of Columbia Street and
Cameron Avenue at the Carolina Inn,
Raney said. However, there is no way
to increase the size of the intersection
without damaging either the Carolina
Inn or Peabody Hall.
"It is a good idea to extend the
road. Even though I grew up in
Pittsboro Street area, I think the road
should be extended.
"The area is no longer chiefly
residential. It is a very logically
thought-out plan," she said.
Chapel Hill Town Council member
Nancy Preston said the proposal first
appeared before the town council
four or five years ago.
"The Department of Transporta
tion (DOT) proposed the extension
as a necessary north-south passage
through Chapel Hill," Preston said.
"There is so much traffic that goes
through Chapel Hill that the Depart
ment of Transportation believed it
was necessary to have an extra road
through the middle of town."
The Alliance of Neighborhoods, a
local group started in response to the
concerns of rapid development of
Chapel Hill, has voiced concerns
about the extension project.
"I feel that it was a mistake for
the planning board to ever include
it (the proposal) in the transportation
improvement plan. The DOT is only
interested in moving vehicles and
putting roads in Chapel Hill,"
Alliance of Neighborhoods' president
Margaret Taylor said.
The group also opposes the prop
osal because the extension will harm
the neighborhood located in the north
part of Chapel Hill and the atmos
phere of downtown Chapel Hill, she
said.
"The Northside neighborhood is
the oldest black neighborhood in
Chapel Hill," Taylor said.
"If the proposal is passed, this,
middle-class neighborhood, where
many people have lived for genera
tions, will be destroyed," she said.
"(The proposal) will also destroy the
human aspect of downtown Chapel
Hill and definitely not make it a place
ideal for shopping."

Service director, said the food service
would need more information before
commenting on how consolidation
would affect the dining service.
But committee members said the
Marriott-run service favored taking
over the training table. "My under
standing from Marriott is that Mar
riott would be interested in that as
part of a food service contract,"
Johnson said.
this day, I don't know when it can
be."
Although there is no record of how
many people attended previous
Commencement Information Days,
McCall said the event has been
successful in the past. "(The Division
of) Student Affairs and the Senior
Class Office have received many calls
about this (commencement)."
McCall said he expects at least 50
percent of the senior class to attend.
Representatives from the following
University departments will be pres
ent at the event: the University
Registrar's office, the Senior Class,
the Cashier's Office, University
Career Placement and Planning
Services, Handicapped Services,
Public Information, Student Legal
Services, Transportation and Parking
Services and University Housing.
Dean of Students Frederic Schroeder
will also be present.
Information will be provided by
the following organizations: Student
Stores, the Chapel Hill Chamber of
Commerce, the General Alumni
Association and the Educational
Foundation (Ram's Club).
A video of Roger Mudd's Monday
PBS broadcast will be shown
throughout the day to give students
a representation of the 1989 com
mencement speaker's work, McCall
said.
McCall said he thinks most seniors
will probably be interested in the
tables for the Student Stores, the
Senior Class and the University
Registrar because they will give
seniors information on caps and
gowns, commencement weekend
activities and on receiving diplomas
after the ceremony. ,
For students who miss Commence
ment Information Day, information
will also be available in the Pit on
April 17 and 18 during Senior Week,
McCall said. Follow-up information
about Senior Day, May 13, and the
finalized plans for the actual com
mencement ceremony will also be
available then.
Kris Roberts, a senior from Wil
mington, said she will go to Com
mencement Information Day. "I'm
going so I can learn general com
mencement information and etiquette."
