Durham’s streetscape improvement process resumes Monday night with a neighborhood meeting on the Fayetteville Street corridor.

The city’s economic development office and design firm E.G. & G. Inc. of Akron, Ohio will be showing preliminary concepts for remodeling the street frontage between the Durham Freeway and Homeland Avenue, south of N.C. Central University.

It follows on an April meeting for introducing the project and taking public comment. A third meeting on the Fayetteville Street corridor is scheduled Sept. 29.

Both meetings are at the Hayti Heritage Center, 804 Old Fayetteville St., and start at 6 p.m.

Concern homeowner

I would like to know when will the Fayetteville street housing apartment, which is located on Merrick street be torn down. I'm a concern homeowner, who see this eyesore each and everyday. It has become a dumping ground for some, and for other a place to prostitute and use drugs. If construction doesn't start immediately at least the demolition of the apartments would greatly improve the looks, and safety of the community.
