CITY OF RALEIGH: Join Artist Scott Hazard for a Geological Artist Walk & Talk

The City of Durham has announced a series of upcoming road closures related to its ongoing American Tobacco District Waterline Replacement Project. Several downtown streets will experience temporary lane shifts or closures over the next few weeks while crews install new infrastructure. Access for businesses will remain open during these periods.

Durham has announced two major sustainability initiatives ahead of Earth Day: setting a record for street tree plantings this season and launching a free public mulch program beginning April 18. City officials say these steps aim to promote environmental health and community engagement.

The Durham Police Department has launched a public comment portal as part of its CALEA accreditation process. Community members are invited to share feedback about police services and agency compliance with professional standards. Submissions will inform ongoing improvements but will only receive an acknowledgement.
