Understanding Measurements & Room Counts | National Appraiser Roster

Town of Chapel Hill, NC : News Releases : Colorful Crosswalks Coming to Chapel Hill
We need to do a lot more than this. There ought to be pedestrian highways throughout the Town that are full stop crossings for motorists. Why shouldn't the presumption be reversed? If you are in a car, you stop. If you are walking, you have the right of way if on any marked crosswalk of any kind? Cars and drivers need to be trained to sense and stop when a pedestrian is about to cross.

Fitness paths?
Wouldn't it be wonderful for clubs like O2 to construct "fitness paths" to and from their establishments, with town and landowner permission of course? I could imagine a trail at the O2 in Chatham County that could lead directly to or from Burger King, McDonald's, Lowes Foods, etc.
Health clubs, etc
Does someone inspect them for cleanliness? Are "clean" towels subjected to a lab test to determine just how clean they may be? Is equipment inspected to see what bacteria, etc. may be on them, especially the parts touched by hands or other body parts?

Mayor HEMMINGER
Why doesn't she start providing us with a minimum one paragraph rationale for each official decision she makes as Mayor - i.e., each Council vote? If she devotes time to reaching a decision on her vote, surely she can write a few sentences so that we, too, know why.
