INFORMATION: On May 22, 2012, the Board of Aldermen adopted the Safe Routes to School Action Plan. On October 4, 2012, the Action Plan was endorsed by the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education. On March 4, 2014 the Board adopted a Town Code Amendment establishing a Safe Routes to School Implementation Committee to recommend transportation projects, policies, programs, or activities that serve to increase the safety and convenience of walking and bicycling to school and fulfill related functions.
This agenda item will make the initial appointments to the Safe Routes to School Implementation Committee
There are currently two applicants for the High School Member seat. The Town Code allows for, and the Town Clerk suggests, that the Board consider appointing an alternate position for the High School seat since it is the only seat with two applications. The Clerk also requests that the Board appoint a Board of Aldermen Liaison to this committee. The Committee will hold at least three meetings per calendar year. Bergen Watterson, the Town’s Transportation Planner, will be the staff liaison to this committee.
The following seats and applicants are eligible for appointment:
