What's on this agenda

The Town Council's March 2 work session takes up the results of the capital improvement plan prioritization exercises the council ran at its February retreat. Town Center Phase 1, land for the town center, and two phases of intersection improvements rank as the top capital projects; a companion online survey put parks, recreation, open space and land acquisition first among six broader spending categories.

The council also holds its regular roundtable, where members raise ideas outside the formal agenda. Two topics are new for this meeting: relocating a Gandhi statue from the Marbles Museum to Morrisville, and a citizen proclamation for a Morrisville resident's cross-country motorcycle ride that raised money for juvenile diabetes research. The roundtable's tracking list carries 18 earlier ideas still in progress, including handicap parking at Town Center events and town-owned land on Church Street being evaluated for a Habitat for Humanity home.
