"Smith Level Road plan approved" - Herald-Sun

Several things strike me about this article for those of us who live in and around Southern Village.

First, how can we see the "final" plan on a map? It's a little confusing to walk or drive the word route.

Second, what's the timetable to do the work?

Third, I hope Carrboro and/or the state will begin to measure bike lane and sidewalk use in the way they measure road traffic. Once done, how many people/day wind up using the sidewalk? How many bikes/day? We want those numbers to be very high but I fear they will not be.

Finally, once this is done, imagine a moblunch at Glasshalful or any other place in Carrboro, to which a group of us in Southern Village WALK! We can do that now, but only by taking our lives in our hands and among the high grasses.
