Abstract:
This nonprofit organization, established nearly a decade earlier, sustained success due to its celebration, education, and advocacy of life on two wheels for both urban and commuter cyclists. Events included coordinating community rides such as the Bike of the Irish. Lobbying for transportation policy changes yielded the Hominy Creek Greenway and the non-profit’s collaboration with the city council in the creation of Asheville’s Comprehensive Bicycle Plan.

Abstract:
Construction has been the largest industry in the United States for the past four years, and North Carolina has been enjoying better roads, schools, homes, factories, buildings, and utilities. North Carolina's construction contractors are well-equipped to take on the construction of new roads in the highway system. Most of the work on the new roads in the state will be done by builders who are members of the Carolina Branch of the Associated General Contractors of America, headquartered in Charlotte.

Abstract:
The new technology in road building in the state in the 1850s was the plank road. When one was built from Fayetteville to Winston, a distance of over one hundred miles, the people of that time considered it a great engineering feat. Robins's article includes a contract with specifications for the construction of a seven-mile stretch of this road in Randolph County, between Asheboro and High Point. The contract was signed on January 3, 1852.

Abstract:
The expansion of US Highway 64 could further pollute Jordan Lake. The expansion could also uproot Chatham County businesses as they move to accommodate the new expanded road. The road would run from Pittsboro over Jordan Lake to Apex and Cary and would be designed to speed up travel time from Charlotte to Raleigh. The state does not currently have the funding to pay for the expansion and it does not have a plan to work with the federal environmental regulations governing Jordan Lake.
