Abstract:
Chapel Hill has provided the town with a new map outlining potential downtown development. The new plan would establish much-needed parking, include a transit hub, increase the ease of walking, and include green areas. Some residents question whether the town can afford it and whether the residents will agree to tax increases to pay for it. There are some residents who oppose the plan believing the downtown is fine the way it is. The “Chapel Hill Syndrome” is disussed and the slow pace at which the city conducts business.

Abstract:
Chapel Hill 2020 is an updated plan for the city, the last one composed in 2000. At the heart of the debate for the college town revolves an increasing population and the city's evolution from town to a city. Organized committees and concerned citizens met to outline six areas for development; downtown, north and south stretches of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, N.C. 54 and northern and southern portions of U.S. 15-501. The goal of developing these areas is to create an integrated plan for modernizing and improving transit and promoting local businesses.
