Hillsborough Street Walk Audit Thursday, 1/23/25

The Vision Zero team invites you to join our walk audit on Thursday January 23rd from 2:00 PM-3:30 PM. The audit will be just over half a mile running along Hillsborough St from Bolinwood Drive up to North Street, with the central meeting point being at Union Chapel Hill apartments. We decided to audit this location because it has been identified for possible pedestrian safety concerns. A walk audit allows us to assess the conditions of the street, identify safety concerns, and develop potential improvement in this area. I will be sending out a corresponding calendar invite for this event for those interested in attending. Thank you very much and I hope to see you there!
