I'm a little late with this because I just finished watching the entire thing today, but the Durham City Council voted to close Warner Street; the first step in the completion of the Legacy Center. The plan met a little opposition from two people living in neighborhoods around the area, but it still passed 7-0. Two of the council members seemed to care more about pedestrian and bicycle traffic rather than the closing of the street itself and made a motion that there should be a pedestrian right-of-way put in as well. That motion failed 2-5. Regardless of what others thought, this did pass, so Warner Street will officially close sometime in the near future.
It was cool to see all the Grey Stone people there, including our pastor. He spoke to the council and made a presentation of sorts along side the engineers and church lawyers. At the end, he asked all who were in favor of closing the street to stand. That was a really cool sight to see! I am very happy that the council voted to close Warner Street so we can move forward on expanding our church. As one of the public commenters said, "a super plan for a super church."
