We’re more than just a town – we’re a community! This year we celebrated a once-in-a-lifetime event: our 100th birthday! Carrboro has come a long way from its roots as a small mill town to the welcoming, progressive haven it is today. Carrboro was recently named one of Amer- ica’s top 100 art towns.

The Carrboro Farmers Market was voted the best in North Carolina! There are lots of cool places to shop, and an abundant variety of restaurants ranging from cafes to fine dining – all of which hold a reputation for keeping their customers happy and coming back for more. Whether you walk, ride a bike or take advantage of our free bus service, I hope you will enjoy all that our community has to offer!

  • DCHC MPO 2045 MTP Final Plan Comments
    DCHC MPO 2045 MTP Final Plan Comments Introduction This document compiles the public comments that the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro Metropolitan Planning Organization (DCHC MPO) received during the Preferred Option and final plan and report phases of the 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). The final plan and report comments start on page 1 and those for the Preferred Option start on page 34. For comments, questions and additional information: Andy Henry, [email protected], 919-560-4366, ext. 36419. DCHC MPO Web site: www.dchcmpo.org MTP Web page: www.bit.ly/DCHC-MTP Final Plan and Report Comment Period The MPO released the final plan and full report of the 2045 MTP on January 10, 2018 for a public comment that lasts through March 2, 2018. Comments by Email 01/10/18 In general, the proposed plan makes senses except for a couple of key components. The light rail system for Orange and Durham counties should really be called the UNC-Duke light rail system because it seems that these two institutions are the primary beneficiaries of this system. That said, the taxpayers of Orange and Durham counties are paying for a sizable portion of the bill, yet UNC and Duke, being tax-exempt organizations are paying nothing. What is even more upsetting it that taxpayers in most of Orange County and perhaps even in most of Durham County, i.e., rural residents, especially to the west and north of Chapel Hill, will most likely never use this system. I personally don't think light-rail is feasible considering the population displacement of Orange County commuters.

Students, teachers and parents walked the halls and fields of Carrboro High School three years ago not knowing what was ahead. It was tough going in the be- ginning, and it’s still no easy ride. But with cohesion, camaraderie and a sense of community from all, things just keep get- ting better.
