As a group, they communicated the concerns regarding <br />oversight, particularly the fire safety issues. There was a good discussion. <br />Commissioner Nelson said that he got an email from a Carrboro resident that lives near <br />Elementary School #10, and the concern was that a greenway was supposed to be built from <br />the neighborhood and was included as part of the school and the park site. He asked if there <br />was any way to construct the greenway now, with OWASA constructing lines. <br />Laura Blackmon said that she is not sure how far along OWASA is in the process. <br />
