Your 'Tis blogger, like Jimmy Buffet, is tryin' to make a little sense of it all. This week it's Morrisville's vision-in-progress, aka our Land Use and Transportation Plan or LUTP.
The current versions of Morrisville's LUTPs have some wrinkles. Serious ones. A massive Regional Activity Center radiating outward from Park West Village is a bad idea. It's a bad idea even if NC54 is widened to the six lane boulevard proposed for the area. Likewise, labeling the largest contiguous undeveloped land in Morrisville a "small area plan" with nary a hint of what's to come.... well jeepers! If it's a plan, there should be more than shades of gray on the document. Otherwise, we should call it the Land Use and Transportation I'll Get Back to You Later on That One, the LUTIGBTYLOTO. Then there's the extension of Crabtree Crossing Parkway, massaged, debated, tweaked, narrowed, but basically unchanged - a thoroughfare through a residential community, the red herring to addressing NC54 woes.
A little starch, a hot iron, maybe some Retinol-A, we can remove the wrinkles:
