Abstract:

The Durham-Orange Light Rail Transit project remains questionable due to funding. Under the current light-rail proposal, the federal government would be responsible for half of the project’s funding. U.S. Representative G.K. Butterfield is optimistic that the project will progress.

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.
