NC's e-bike law changes Dec. 1. How western Wake towns are responding

Apex is moving toward new e-bike rules that could expand helmet requirements for younger riders and clarify where electric bicycles can travel. The proposed changes come as a new North Carolina law takes effect Dec. 1, changing which e-bikes are permitted on roads and greenways. The new law also will require helmets for Class 3 e-bike riders and passengers under 18. Towns can also require helmets for riders and passengers under 18 on Class 1 and 2 e-bikes, but the new law does not mandate those additional requirements statewide. A separate, existing state law already requires bicycle helmets for anyone under 16. Apex’s Public Safety Committee on Thursday, Nov. 5, backed limited amendments to existing bicycle regulations, rather than a comprehensive e-bike ordinance. “Making huge regulatory changes at this stage may be the wrong thing. We may be over-regulating,” council member Ed Gray told The News & Observer after the meeting. But Gray also supports a uniform helmet requirement for younger riders, saying it would be easier to understand and enforce. The Town Council must approve any amendments, which it could do as soon as Dec. 17. The new rules Under the new state law, Class 1 bikes provide motor

All American work progresses as Fort Bragg eyes next road project

FORT BRAGG — Work on the All American Freeway continues as Fort Bragg officials tackle another road on post and prepare for the installation's next major project once the All American is complete. Officials provided a brief update on the All American work during a quarterly Community Action Council meeting on Nov. 4. The project, estimated to cost $22 million , will replace the 50-year-old Gruber Road bridge over the All American Freeway and repair areas where the freeway has settled on Fort Bragg, near the Rock Merritt Road exit and freeway between Gruber and Zabitosky roads. Fort Bragg is working with the North Carolina Department of Transportation on the project, which started in July and is expected to take 18 to 24 months to complete. Crews are in the midst of dynamic compaction on the roadway, where a 50,000-pound weight is being used to compact the area that will be under the asphalt, Jeffrey Williamson, director of Fort Bragg’s Directorate of Public Works, said at the Nov. 4 meeting. Crews started removing about 12 layers of asphalt in August to address roadbed settlement. Williamson said the dynamic compaction work should be completed by the end of January. The road

Things You Should Know About Veteran Treatment Courts

Veterans deserve more. United States servicemen and women earn their benefits and support through their service, yet far too many face ongoing challenges with healthcare access, mental health resources, disability claims backlogs, and housing support. Veterans treatment courts (VTC) aim to promote recovery and reduce recidivism in high-risk, high-need military veterans with repeat infractions related to substance use, mental health, and co-occurring disorders. Honorable Robert Russell founded the first VTC in Buffalo, New York, in January 2008. The structure of VTCs are similar to that of adult drug treatment courts in that they involve cooperation and collaboration with court officials, community partners, and law enforcement. The goal is to connect eligible veterans with benefits and treatment earned through military service. The program was initially funded initially by a grant from the Governor's Crime Commission from then-Governor Pat McCrory.
