Calling all Triangle Tooters (especially in Orange County, NC) who #walk, #bike, and #roll! If you encounter damage to a #greenway, #bikelane, #sidewalk, or ADA infrastructure, please report it at go.unc.edu/chantalbikeped!

Reporting damages not only helps local governments understand how to prioritize their recovery resources...
