Cape Fear Commutes 2035 hosting regional transportation open houses

Do you live, work, or travel in the Cape Fear region? If so, then Cape Fear Commutes
2035 wants to hear what you think. Over the past two years we have been identifying and
analyzing the biggest traffic jams, missing transportation links, and opportunities for
transportation improvements in the Wilmington area. Now is the time to see what we’ve
been up to. Cape Fear Commutes 2035 will be hosting a series of public open houses
throughout the region in March and April to present our draft transportation plan for the tricounty region. This plan recommends over $2.1 billion in local-, state- and federal-funded transportation projects to be built over the next 25 years.

These open houses will run from 5:30-7:30pm. The drop-in format allows you to
arrive at anytime within those two hours. The dates and locations are:

1. Tuesday, March 30, 2010: New Hanover County Senior Center: Multipurpose Room,
2222 South College Road, Wilmington, NC 28403 (accessible via WAVE Transit routes
103 Central and 202 Independence)

2. Monday, April 5, 2010: Topsail Middle School, Cafeteria, 17445 US Highway 17,
Hampstead, NC 28443 (not accessible via WAVE Transit)

3. Thursday, April 8, 2010: Leland Town Hall, 102 Town Hall Drive, Leland, NC 28451
(accessible via WAVE Transit route 204 Brunswick Connector)

We will also be visiting all of the elected boards throughout the month to present the plan.

The Cape Fear Commutes 2035 Transportation Plan process included extensive public
participation. Over 3,200 residents of the Cape Fear region completed our survey.
