Dear friends and #Resisters. As you might know, I am a #COVID19 survivor. It took 91 days the first round, and 27 the second to get on my feet. Many of my tweets in the next few days will be about the impact on my town (1/x) #NorthCarolina
Due to the poor planning of @unc to account for the fact that having students return to a community in which cases were already rising, @KevinGuskiewicz and other #UNC personnel are endangering the lives of those living here #ChapelHill #Hillsborough #carrboro (2/n)
This is also endangering the lives of our lowest paid workers at the university. @unc4cola , @workersunionunc , including graduate students, black and brown staff members and of course, the housekeepers. (3/n) 
It's alive! The #Carrboro Transportation Advisory Board worked hard last year to finalize downtown "slow zone" recommendations and prioritize projects, which was followed by (and in some cases built upon) work by @CarrboroPZI staff. I'll try to summarize ongoing work. 1/X
Last week, the Town Council approved the E Main Street lane reconfiguration, and staff will formally request that NCDOT include the modifications with the upcoming resurfacing project. 2/X
The town received NCDOT approval for several pedestrian safety projects, including high-visibility crosswalks at:
• N Greensboro St at Oak St
• N Greensboro St at Robert Hunt Dr
• N Greensboro St at Hillsborough Rd
• Jones Ferry Rd at Bim St
• W Main St at Poplar Ave

Good morning! ☕ A nugget from the upcoming @DCHCMPO Board meeting: Growth in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) is outpacing population growth in the Triangle and throughout North Carolina. dchcmpo.legistar.com/gateway.aspx?m…
@DCHCMPO As more people move here, they encounter land use patterns, transportation infrastructure, and policy making that encourage driving as the primary or only travel mode. So what do they do? They drive.
At the state level, resources through @NCDOT to make lasting, substantial changes in nonhighway infrastructure are paltry compared to those for road widening, intersection and interchange "improvements," and other projects that reinforce driving as the best and only travel mode.
