Carrboro Mayor Barbara Foushee joins 97.9 The Hill News Director Brighton McConnell over the phone on Friday, September 13. With the return of the town council’s business meetings, Foushee recaps the first of the fall that was held Thursday night. She details the staff report and survey done on residents’ thoughts on changing Carrboro’s parking system, and shares how the work to determine next steps is still ongoing. Foushee also shares her thoughts on Orange County’s Short-Range Transit Plan and why the town government is getting involved removing a tree on private property.
