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.

Abstract:
Many parents of children with autism move to Chapel Hill for the high reputation and performance the Chapel Hill-Carrboro School District has. However, the district’s special education program is poor and this is surprising because of the district’s wealth and access to resources. Many parents blame the district for failing to educate their children and preventing parents from advocating on their behalf. School officials contend that many of these parents have unrealistic expectations and want a level of education the public schools are not legally required and cannot provide.

Abstract:
The public access channel in Chapel Hill is being severely neglected. Time Warner is partially at fault for the problem as they are ones who manage the channel. The equipment for producing and broadcasting programs is poor, few locally produced programs are broadcast, and the signal is poor. The fate of the station is uncertain as Chapel Hill and Time Warner are renegotiating the local cable contract and neither group wants to oversee the public access a channel.
