Before (2021) and after (2025) of the utility easement along Bolin Creek in Carrboro. It's actually walkable now. Definitely check it out if you haven't been on it lately. A good preview of what it will be like to have a greenway through here .

Almost every street is choked by on-street parking but the lane is barely ten feet wide, cars have to go one at a time, and speeds stay very low.
Typical intersection in residential Seattle: tree in traffic circle with native plants maintained by neighborhood. 👌

New benches installed on Orange County's Jones Creek Greenway. It will be really awesome when the town of Carrboro connects to this greenway and to the Chapel Hill Bolin Creek Greenway, creating a miles-long linear park for residents in both towns and the county to enjoy.

The kids have already discovered it's finished
The rebuilt pump track at Martin Luther King Jr. Park in Carrboro is going to be a first class destination for bike enthusiasts. Kind of unexpectedly awesome.

Pretty cool to see my photos up on @chtransit.bsky.social buses around town in these Launch Chapel Hill ads. Hit me up if you have a project that needs photography work!
Lots of anxiety on the n'hood listserv about taxed property value being reassessed at the current market value. Are Orange County or Carrboro electeds discussing adjustments to the tax rate? Seeing a lot of "let's protest the assessment" but you can't argue that housing prices haven't gone way up

Feeling very represented, electorally

Also, appreciate the FAQ that states very clearly that greenways near creeks are allowed by state Jordan Lake Buffer Rules, an often misused excuse when Carrboro was debating the Bolin Creek Greenway alignment
Scenes from the open house for the Town of Chapel Hill's Estes Dr and Bolin Creek Greenway improvements. Really exciting because these projects will connect Carrboro to Chapel Hill and will eventually result in a low-stress bike network between both towns.
Carrboro tree lighting where the elementary kids sing holiday songs and it's a pretty great thing for a town to do

We are season ticket holders for Carolina women's basketball and I highly recommend it
Carrboro is rebuilding the pump track at Dr Martin Luther King Jr Park and it's going to slap so hard! Can't wait to tell my wife that I need a different kind of bike now.
