Brady meetings, recapped

Man, another post ... The Hillsborough/Orange County Chamber of Commerce this morning sent out a good recap of the meetings being held on the Elizabeth Brady Road bypass in the next three weeks. To wit:

"Dept. of Transportation Official to Speak At November Government
Affairs Meeting
Mike Mills, NCDOT Division 7 Engineer, will be the guest speaker at
the Chamber’s Government Affairs meeting on November 24, at 8:30 at
the Chamber office. Mike will be speaking about the status of the
Proposed Elizabeth Brady Road Extension."

Then,

"Hillsborough to Discuss Alternatives to Elizabeth Brady Road Bypass
Special Town Board meeting on alternatives to proposed
Elizabeth Brady Road extension
7 p.m. Nov. 30, 2009
Town Barn, 101 E. Orange St., Town Hall campus. Parking
lot is accessed from East Corbin Street.

The Hillsborough Town Board will hold a special meeting Nov. 30 to
discuss possible support of smaller, alternative road projects over
the proposed Elizabeth Brady Road extension, which would alleviate
traffic on Churton Street through the downtown.

The meeting — at 7 p.m. in the Town Barn, 101 E. Orange St. — is one
week in advance of a public hearing that the N.C. Department of
Transportation will hold on the Elizabeth Brady Road bypass project.

The Hillsborough board members will discuss the DOT’s draft
environmental impact statement on the bypass and the projects they
would like the DOT to build instead with the nearly $30 million
allocated for the bypass."

and then,

"DOT to Host Open House, Public Hearing on Proposed Hillsborough Bypass
NCDOT pre-hearing open house and public hearing on proposed Elizabeth Brady Road Extension

...
The N.C. Department of Transportation will hold a pre-hearing open

The open house and public hearing will take place at Cameron Park
Elementary School, 240 St. Mary’s Road.

NCDOT representatives will be available from 4 to 6:30 p.m. at the
open house, in the school’s cafeteria, to answer questions and receive
comments regarding the proposed project. An opportunity to submit
written comments or questions will be provided.

A formal presentation will begin at 7 p.m. in the school’s gymnasium.
The presentation will explain the proposed location and design of the
project, the state-federal relationship, and right-of-way and
relocation requirements and procedures. Citizens will be able to
comment or ask questions. The presentation and comments will be
recorded, and a transcript will be prepared."

So, if these are meetings you plan to attend, plan on seeing me a lot in the next few weeks.

Thanks for reading.
