Although Franklin Street is the centerpiece of downtown Chapel Hill, the local government doesn’t control the road. That power falls to the state department of transportation. A recent petition submitted to the Town of Chapel Hill is looking to change that.
Hillsborough residents should expect traffic delays along South Churton Street Friday due to a town utility project. The affected area is near Triangle Visions Optometry at 320 South Churton Street and the shopping center at 106 Rebecca Drive.
