Use of sidewalks?

I wonder if anyone keeps track of sidewalk traffic? They sure do for roads; what about sidewalks?

Sidewalk addition on 15-501

It's nice to see the work starting on the stretch of sidewalk that will run from Subway (across the street from CVS) to the Park and Ride lot for UNC some distance to the north.

While that is a plus, I cannot help but wonder who will use it.

I have always been a fervent sidewalk supporter, but I fear that too many have been constructed for reasons that don't relate to the likelihood of getting people to walk on them. And why does it have to be so close to the highway?

Northern Ireland safe driving laws

Why don't we have all of these in place here!

Chapelboroham Tree Bank?

With all of the discussion about trees, I wonder if there is not an opportunity to create a Chapelboroham Tree Bank. What I mean is that we have in Chapelboroham today X number of trees. That's our account balance.

If we make a withdrawal through the cutting down of trees anywhere by anyone for any reason, the tree cutter is responsible for going to the "Bank" noting this and then using the software that could be included to locate the type and location of potential tree planting to make up for the cuts?
