Market Street Transportation Meetings October 28, 2008

Market Street Corridor Study

Market Street is one of the most important commercial corridors in New Hanover County. It serves as a gateway

to downtown and the historic district. However, rapid growth and poor planning have led to severe congestion,

frequent crashes and a negative public image. Th e Wilmington MPO, NCDOT, City and County offi cials are

partnering to study Market Street from Colonial Drive to the New Hanover/Pender County line, and

 

 

we need your help!

If you live, travel or do business on Market Street, then come out and help to

devise a plan to

improve transportation and land use decisions along the corridor.

October 28th – Mark up maps and help to identify

land use and transportation issues and solutions for this

portion of Market Street

October 30th – Review and discuss potential

improvements for this portion of the corridor

Response from Ted Davis October 24, 2008

Dear Steering Committee:

 

At a Candidates Forum in Carolina Beach on October 9, 2008, I stated that I would support New Hanover County working with the North Carolina Department of Transportation to develop bicycle pathes that would be safe for the public to use, as well as obtaining the necessary funding to do so.

 

I would also support such an effort for new bicycle and pedestraian paths connecting the extending neighborhoods of Ogden Elementary School.

 

Quite frankly, I believe that the biggest obstacle to the implementation of such paths will be funding.  Therefore, I cannot assure you of what, if any, funding that New Hanover County will also be able to provide.

 

Yours very truly,

 

Ted Davis, Jr
