There's a comment box at the end of the blog post above. If your ability to walk & bike around Chapel Hill has been affected by Chantal-related stuff, please share your story with ShiftCHC!!
#ChapelHillNC & #CarrboroNC are still digging out from TS #Chantal. Damage to sidewalks, bike paths, & other non-car infrastructure is widespread, but crews are out busting their butts to fix stuff.
Many ways to document problems to #walking & #biking connections, incl. go.unc.edu/chantalbikeped
The form doesn't collect any personal information!
You can check out the data we've collected so far at https://go.unc.edu/chantalresults

Thanks in advance for your help, and please help share this call across your NC networks!
Hey friends. #ChapelHillNC and #CarrboroNC (and other areas nearby) got walloped last night by 8-10 inches of rain. Lots of critical walking & biking infrastructure was taken out. If you're local and it's safe to do so, please help us document the extent of the damage so we can better understand how the storm affected us.
Please share what you've seen at https://go.unc.edu/chantalbikeped
Thank you

Hey #Chapelboro friends: What are your favorite (and by favorite I mean least favorite) spots to navigate on foot, bike, or wheelchair? Bonus points if they've been improved lately, but you still don't like 'em.
In one of my courses this spring we're going to be tracking progression from bad to less bad to better to great, and I need a few more local examples to dig into.
TIA
Welcome to 2025! Think about changing up your transportation habits while you're setting some aspirations for the year ahead. Or even just for one month to test the waters. https://bikestylelife.com/2025/01/01/new-year-ahead/

Still true a dozen years after I first wrote this: Your "right" to speedy travel doesn't exist. https://bikestylelife.com/2012/08/07/your-right-to-speedy-travel-doesnt-exist/
