The InterNeighborhood Council of Durham has organized a County
Commissioners' Candidates Forum for
Wednesday, March 28, from
6:45 to 9:00 P.M. at the North Carolina Central School of
Education Auditorium. All fourteen candidates for Durham County
Commissioner have agreed to participate that evening. Doors will
open at 6:30 PM.
All five Commissioner seats are up for election this year, and,
because there are only Democratic candidates running, the
Democratic May primary may be tantamount to election. Bob Ashley,

I’m sure you’ve noticed the 3 story building going up at the NW corner of Hwy 54 and Farrington Rd. It’s difficult to miss. The developer is also considering building two additional 7 story buildings and a parking deck directly behind this -- where the church now sits. No roadway improvements are being proposed even though this area is identified for some major changes by the Hwy 54 Corridor Study. The developer is hosting a neighborhood meeting on Saturday, March 10 at 2pm, on the site at 5436 Farrington Rd.

The Durham Chapel Hill Carrboro Transportation Advisory Committee has approved the routing of a future light rail corridor connecting Durham and Chapel Hill through the Hwy 54 Corridor. There are two options for this route, known as C1 (through Meadowmont) and C2 (along Hwy 54 and across the intersections with Barbee Chapel Road and Downing Creek Parkway), and both of these will be advanced for further analysis. It may be several years before the actual route through the area will be determined.
