Do you know a ‘good neighbor’? The Wake Forest Human Relations Council (HRC) is soliciting youth and adult nominations for the second annual Good Neighbor of the Year Award. The award is designed to recognize Wake Forest residents who work to improve the quality of life in their neighborhoods without seeking or receiving recognition for their efforts. In order to qualify, a nominee must be a Town of Wake Forest resident who has made a significant contribution to the community between Sept. 1, 2011, and Aug. 31, 2012. The HRC will announce one youth and one adult winner during this year’s Good Neighbor Day scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 16 from 1-4 p.m. at Holding Park.
Board of Commissioners Work Session The bear tree sculpture at Holding Park was carved from a willow oak tree that needed to be removed. Cameron Day, a local student, submitted the winning design for the sculpture in a contest held by the Town earlier this year.

New interactive map tool allows citizens to view Wake Forest transportation projects The Town’s Planning, Engineering and MIS staff have developed an online tool that makes it easier to access information about active transportation projects. Active transportation projects include construction and enhancements to roads, sidewalks, greenways, bridges, bike lanes, and other parts of the transportation system. The new map has several features that show active
construction sites as well as projects under design or funded for future design. Major transportation projects that are being completed by public, private development, subdivision, or commercial construction sites are also shown on this map. To view the map, go to www. wakeforestnc.gov/residents/ transportationmap.aspx.
