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.
