Morgan Creek Trail and Merritt Pasture Access
This is the latest from Bill WEBSTER at the Town of Chapel Hill, received by e-mail today:
"Current Status: Preparing concept plan
Design Firm: Coulter Jewell Thames
The Morgan Creek Trail is proposed to be an extension of the existing Fan Branch Trail that currently serves Southern Village. The trail would continue from the intersection of Culbreth Road and Highway 15-501 to Smith Level Road at the Carrboro Town line near Frank Porter Graham School. This trail would likely require several bridges and underpasses. The project would also include access to the Merritt Pasture.
The following has occurred or is ongoing:
· The NCDOT has funded a conceptual plan study for the Morgan Creek Trail from Merritt Pasture to Smith Level Road. A citizen Committee started work in November 2002. A public forum was held on June 10, 2003 at Frank Porter Graham School. Approximately 15 people spoke. All were in favor of the project.
· The Committee is currently recessed pending the results of flood analysis of key bridge locations. The work is nearing completion. Once the flood model is complete we will bring the Committee out of recess and complete the concept plan. We expect to present the concept plan to the Council in late 2005."
