I was redistricted from Chapel Hill High to East Chapel Hill High between 9th and 10th grades. I have firsthand experience of this kind of disruption.

Time to pivot to the agenda for the Tuesday #Carrboro Town Council meeting. Wanted to highlight this from the consent agenda. This is our Climate Action pillar at work.

Screenshot of Agenda Packet PDF with text:

INFORMATION: This grant will fund a street tree inventory and development of Carrboro's first Comprehensive Urban Forestry Management Plan. The street tree inventory will provide a database of species, location, size, and condition of each tree along Carboro maintained streets and identify available planting spaces. It is essential for risk management and safety as it identifies hazardous trees and those needing pruning to protect people and property. It will allow supervisors to efficiently schedule and track tree care. The data from the inventory, as well as insights gained through community engagement, will then be used to develop a Comprehensive Urban Forestry Management Plan. This plan will set long-term, actionable goals for tree planting, maintenance and removal. It will provide data to develop adequate budget requests for Town-wide tree care and staff capacity, improve the health and resilience of the urban canopy against pests and climate change, and promote public education and encourage community support for tree planting, particularly in the owns urban heat islands. Completing the inventory and management plan will ensure our urban forest thriv a critical, well-maintained asset. It will build resilience in our community by providing much needed shac to urban heat islands and address environmental justice issues related to inequities in the tree canopy.

Sometimes responding to tyranny means going out into the streets. Other times it might be visiting with a neighbor to reassure them and meet their needs. For me, today, it is making phone calls to colleagues between reading books to my sick child. We all have our roles.

Making denial of the existence of my intersex, nonbinary, and trans neighbors, colleagues, and friends a condition of federal science funding is gross and despotic. They are here, and I will stand up for them.

Pleased to see the consultants for the Downtown Area Plan Project tabling at Carrboro Chapel Hill Juneteenth.

Two staff with a design consultancy stand behind a table under a shade tent. Around them are large poster boards with maps and concept designs for the Carrboro Downtown Area Plan. A person stands in front of the table between us and the staffers, facing the table. They have their arms crossed behind their back in a relaxed listening posture. In one hand are a pair of earrings in a bag from a nearby vendor table and a pocket copy of the constitution from an organization’s table.

Greetings from RTP, where I came to a technical meeting of the TWTPO to advocate for funding for pedestrian improvements on NC HWY 54 in CH & Carrboro. It’s the BL-0044 line you can barely read in the slide. This committee did vote to recommend the funding. Yay!

View from the back corner of a conference room full of people. A presenter has a slide on a large screen. The slide has a screenshot from the Simpaons on the left, with Marge and Homer visible. Text in the screenshot says “This is the last one.” The text on the slide reads:

This is the last amendment for the
FY2024-2033 TIP
• Actions that necessitated this amendment
