Wednesday, April 23, 2008"The Bridge, Part II" Public Meeting on Phase E of the American Tobacco Trail on 4/29 Mark your calendars! The second Community Meeting about the planned pedestrian and bicycle bridge crossing of I-40 for the American Tobacco Trail (ATT) will be at 7PM on Tuesday, April 29, 2008. This time the meeting will be held in the larger City Council chambers on the first floor of Durham City Hall (101 City Hall Plaza) in downtown Durham.
This meeting, which will be hosted by the City of Durham Department of Public Works (and facilitated by Steven Grover and Associates) will focus on a selection of bridge concepts and designs for this long anticipated bicycle and pedestrian bridge. This is your opportunity to get information -and more importantly - offer feedback, suggestions, thoughts, concerns, ideas, needs, goals, desires and other input to help make this bridge and connecting trail, the absolute best it can be. We hope we'll have a standing room only crowd at this meeting as it sends a clear signal to elected officials, the media and public at large that there is significant demand for this project and for it to be completed as soon as possible. Please share this information with everyone you know who is interested in the ATT and in improved pedestrian and bicycle access in the region. Should you have any questions or input regarding this meeting, please contact Byron Brady, PD CPESC, Contract Engineer, City of Durham at 919 560-4326 x 296 or byron.brady AT durham.gov . If you can't make this meeting, feel free to contact Mr. Brady at the above address. Better yet, contact the Durham City Council (this address sends your message to all of the Durham City Council) and tell them how much you want the ATT I-40 bridge AND trail built as quickly as possible. At a conservative 10% inflation rate, this bridge and trail project increases in price at about $1800 per DAY! You might also ask them to attend the meeting as well. If you have any questions regarding this message, or want to chat about the trail or bridge, or don't know who to ask or talk to about your ideas or concerns, please feel free to contact Bill Bussey Triangle Rails-to-Trails Conservancy 919 545-9104 americantobaccotrail@embarqmail.com or Dan Clever 919 286 3827 daclever@ gmail.com You can print out our latest ATT map right now at http://www.triangletrails.org/ATT.HTM .
