]]> Mon, 4 Dec 2023 08:53:53 UTC 24452917 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/24452109?utm_medium=rss When I moved to Chapel Hill in 1994, I lived in Ironwoods, and every day walked with my dogs along Bolin Creek. My son had the opportunity to play with other neighbor kids down at the creek, and experience nature in all its glorious seasons. Even then, my heart ached at the thought that the natural and very walkable/rollable paths along the creek would one day be paved. I have walked the paved portions along Bolin Creek. The experience does not bring one to the forest level where life abounds and the majesty can be felt. A majesty that our world is losing in mass quantities everyday. Surely the leaders of Carrboro understand climate change and can connect the dots to recognize the importance of saving every root and bit of undisturbed earth that we can. Leaders, here's your chance to make a substantial ecological difference and stand proud that our community refused to pave a beautiful, vibrant portion of Earth.

]]> Sun, 1 Oct 2023 01:03:10 UTC 24443361 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/24443273?utm_medium=rss I think I understand the appeal of the proposed paving project, but as a nearby resident and regular visitor to the Carolina North woods I much prefer the less developed, wild character of this part of Bollen Ck to the paved corridor downstream, and I worry about the impact to the habitat, which currently supports a robust diversity of songbirds and plant life.

]]> Thu, 28 Sep 2023 11:27:55 UTC 24443010 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/24442948?utm_medium=rss I strongly oppose a paved path along the banks of Bolin Creek for many reasons. It would cut through and have an environmental impact on one of the few natural areas within Carrboro, a precious resource that must be kept as close to its natural state as possible, for the sake of its wildlife, relatively clean water, and tree canopy. The Seawell School off-road path is a far better option.

Killing native trees, displacing and harming native wildlife, and replacing it with carbon-intensive materials when there is no clear need is NOT environmentally friendly! The council should be ashamed of their blatant greenwashing - there is nothing "forward thinking" about blasting away forests to make way for more unnecessary pavement.

If you on the council take the time to walk these trails and take in the majesty of this sanctuary, I’m sure you would see it as I do. I recommend an hour walk(or run) on the single track trails every day! It’s as close to God as you’ll ever come. I live nowhere near Bolin Creek, so, my testimony is NIMBY free.
