Wheels Turning Slowly


The Colington Road Multi-Use Path Committee recently posted 2,700 letters, one to each property owner on the islands and the adjoining Baum Tract. Here is one response sent to our email address ncsr1217@gmail.com

"I live in Colington Pointe and would love to help with this project.  I would love a way to get past the bridge on a bike or on foot. I can only see it as adding value to this area....  I would use it every day.  I also have a 3 year old that will be attending First Flight and when she is older it would be great to have a way for her to safely ride a bike there - or to the Wright Bros park."

The immediate work for all of us that want to see this become a reality as soon as possible is getting a viable plan. Please add your voice to NCDOT asking for their help in designing this. Address your email or phone call to Lauren Blackburn—her e-mail is lablackburn2@ncdot.gov and her number is (919) 707-2601. She is the Director of the Division of Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation.

And pass this post along!

As a point of information photos you see in this blog are current at the time of posting and are taken along Colington Road.
