Playing in Traffic with Kumar

 

 

 

Late for a meeting?  Stuck in traffic?  Are you frustrated by lack of parking spaces?  How do you like the 'Super Intersection' on 15-501?

 

Kumar Neppalli; Program Manager for Traffic Engineering in Chapel Hill is coming to talk to us about all of the issues we have with the ever-increasing traffic and its associated problems in Chapel Hill.  He will address questions we have about traffic calming devices and pedestrian crosswalks. He will look at the three worst intersections/traffic areas in Chapel Hill and talk about possible solutions. Among some of the timely topics that relate to us will be parking ticket issues, and the 25 year traffic master plan for the area. Come and enjoy an interesting Q &A from the traffic expert: (no citations will be issued!)

Congratulations:

  

Our heartiest congratulations go out to Alexis Goldman (daughter of member Desiree Goldman) for being selection to attend the fifth Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U), running March 30-April 1 at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. Founded by former President Bill Clinton, the CGI U challenges college students to address global issues with practical, innovative solutions. CGI U members do more than simply discuss problems - they take concrete steps to find solutions by building relationships, creating action plans, participating in hands-on workshops, and following up with CGI U as they complete their projects.

 

"Alexis is the perfect example of Guilford's students doing principled problem-solving in her own life, on campus, and beyond Guilford," said Kyle Dell, director of the environmental studies program. "She is also remarkably talented, well-spoken, and engaging. We consider her as a star in the ENVS program."
