Aldermen Examine Pine Street Parking
By Gina Christenson | October 11The Carrboro Board of Aldermen shifted their focus to parking regulations in the Pine Street neighborhood as a way to address resident concerns at its regular business meeting Tuesday night. The board's discussion emphasized limiting parking at private residences, but Mayor Mike Nelson said he wanted to see more models from other University towns before making any new ordinances in Carrboro. Residents who spoke at the meeting said the expansion of rental properties on Pine Street poses safety issues in an area with heavy pedestrian traffic.
