The Carrboro Board of Aldermen will receive an update on Tuesday night regarding the proposed Homestead – Chapel Hill High School Multi-Use Path.

Citizens, including members of the Chapel Hill High School cross country team, spoke for nearly 90 minutes at the board meeting last Tuesday to voice opposition to the proposal.

The project dates back to 2003 and a contract has already been awarded to lay the pavement. Construction is scheduled to begin next Monday, but Mayor Lydia Lavelle said delaying that is a possibility.

The public outcry last Tuesday centered on the fact that the proposed greenway would cross the Chapel Hill High cross-country course on three occasions. Lavelle said the board was unaware it would cross over that many times before the school was notified construction would begin soon.

The board will be meeting at 7:30 Tuesday night in Carrboro Town Hall. WCHL will have a follow-up story on any decision regarding the greenway after the meeting.
