TO THE EDITOR:
Bernadette Keefe’s efforts, and her understanding of what a pedestrian-friendly Carrboro needs, are to be applauded. That restaurants and bars would not have championed the effort for more user-friendly sidewalks is amazing. If the locals were better able to walk to their establishments at night, they’d have more dinners and fewer drinkers with DUIs — good for all.
Plus, spending $100,000 to study parking? … Please get some volunteers to count cars for free.
I am an ex-New Yorker who’s lived many years in (very walkable) France so I know it can be done.
