I saw at the Herald website that at last week’s forum at Town Hall Mayor
Chilton “…suggested telling developers what type of development the town wants
in its commercial districts to make it less risky for developers to spend
time and money on proposals to present to the town.” Hurray for that. The
Board has the ability to put in place street plans. The most recent I’m
aware of is the Roberson St. Plan. This plan addresses widths of sidewalks,
on-street parking, and street trees and landscaping. All of these
components of the plan are intended to improve the general streetscape, to
make our town better for all of us. The plan serves the town, meaning us,
by making pleasant sidewalks, more general parking, and by increasing the
width of the right of way. New buildings are pushed back, making sure that
we’re not too shadowed or leaned upon as pedestrians.
On Thursday October 15, the Town Hall and Hogan Farms precincts of the Orange County Democratic Party will host a Carrboro mayoral and alderman forum.

The forum will begin with a brief meet-and-greet with the candidates (all eight of whom will be there!) and then at 730PM a Q&A session moderated by Orange County Democratic Party chair Jim White will begin.

I remember the disappointing results in key elections in 1993, when Democrats, fresh off a tremendous Presidential victory in 1992 became complacent and Republican activists got upset and activated. New Jersey’s incumbent Democratic Governor, Jim Florio was knocked out of office. That same year, Republicans seized control of the Virginia Governor’s Mansion, bringing us George “Macaca” Allen.
