Bivins St Subdivision

A site plan for a subdivision has been submitted to City Planning entitled Bivins St Subdivision. The parcel in question is the rear part of the “Flower Shop” parcel currently fronting on Chapel Hill Rd. Some refer to this area as the Bamboo Forest. The development proposes building 10 single family homes, with an access road from Bivins St. This is the mostly wooded area behind James St. For questions or comments, contact tlnadurham@gmail.com

For the second year, TNLA partnered with our neighbors in Long Meadow Neighborhood Association (LMNA) for the Chris "Disco" Chambers National Night Out Picnic. This year LMNA hosted in a nice shady picnic area in the 1700 block of High Street. We had about 125 participants, including several representatives from the Police Dept, plus Diane Catatti from City Council. Chuck Clifton (LMNA) and Myers Sugg (TLNA) welcomed everyone and spoke briefly about Neighborhood Watch and other neighborhood programs. Myers brought free low-energy light bulbs to distribute from QOL. Nearby neighbors rolled their grill down the street for hot dogs. Kim Hanauer (TLNA) went home with a few apples left from her own tree, plus home-grown figs from a neighbor and a low watt light bulb! See you next year, when TLNA hosts again in a new location.

The loss of this facility would be a major blow not only to its loyal members but to the economic and civic welfare of the urban neighborhood it serves. Representatives of the Y have indicated that they are interested in opening a facility in south Durham instead. This pull-out to the suburbs would increase the instability of another urban neighborhood, left behind to deal with the loss of programs for its residents and the possibility of development on the site that does not serve the interests and needs of the community. A coalition of residents and community groups has formed: "

Article by Jonathan Nyberg In June of 1999, my wife Rebecca and I begin looking for a house to buy. Starting out from our rented room on Duke Street, we wound through a few neighborhoods before heading down James Street from Lakewood Avenue. We liked the street immediately, and when we got to the bottom of the hill we saw a For Sale sign, with a telephone number, nailed to a tree. Looking down the driveway we saw a small blue house surrounded by nice woods and a creek. Two months later we closed on the house, our new address, 1613 James St. In the summer of 1999 the creek dried up. But right under the square concrete pipe where the creek emerges from under James St. there continued to be a pool of clear water. "There must be a tiny spring," we concluded with great excitement. When Hurricane Floyd struck, a large chunk of earth slid into the creek. That's when we discovered the source of our urban spring, a leak from a nearby fire hydrant. It turns out this leak had underm
