The 5:00 News: New Bike Lanes, BIPOC Mental Health and Venus Flytrap License Plates
Manage episode 427958599 series 2821638
97.9 The Hill News Director Brighton McConnell hosts for Andrew Stuckey this week and shares the latest news from around town on Monday, July 8. Shooting for Season 3 of ‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ begins around UNC’s campus, causing some traffic delays and road closures. Additional disruptions are expected along Jones Ferry Road soon as the North Carolina Department of Transportation repaves the street — and adds bicycle lanes. The Buckhorn Flea Market vendors receive an extension for them to vacate the property, but the project proposed on Buckhorn Road passed the Mebane City Council. July is National BIPOC Mental Health Month, and a pair of local social workers join to discuss which myths are important to dispel around mental health. Plus: a Venus flytrap-inspired specialty license plate has been approved for North Carolina drivers, and it goes toward a cause based in Chapel Hill.
