Chapel Hill Transit (CHT) will implement several route detours on Saturday, Dec. 10, due to the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Holiday parade. The parade will begin on E. Franklin Street at the Morehead Planetarium, traveling west, and ending at Carrboro Town Hall on Main Street.

The following Saturday routes will be detoured/delayed as a result of the parade:

CW route from 9:45 a.m. until 11:44 a.m.
FG route from 8:50 a.m. until 11 a.m.

The Saturday CM and NU routes will operate regular schedules.

CHT will make every attempt to maintain schedules but is advising customers to expect delays and to allow extra travel time due to the parade. While CHT will attempt to operate normal printed schedules on all routes, delays may occur. Customers should plan to travel earlier than 10 a.m. and after noon to avoid parade traffic.

Umstead Park to Close on July 5

/ gochapelhill

Chapel Hill’s Umstead Park and its adjacent Tanyard Branch greenway trail will close on Tuesday, July 5, and remain closed through December 2011 during an OWASA sewer replacement project.

The Town of Chapel Hill and Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA) encourage drivers, cyclists and others to use alternate routes around the sewer project. Currently, Umstead Drive is closed between Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Umstead Park.

OWASA’s contractor also plans to close the intersection of Village Drive and Umstead Drive from mid-October through mid-November 2011. This estimated timetable is subject to change due to weather and other factors.

To find out more about the sewer project, check bit.ly/lSfbpC. For more information about the park closure, contact Parks and Recreation Assistant Director Bill Webster at 919-968-2819 or bwebster@townofchapelhill.org.
