New Apex Intersection to Open for Travel
Apex Peakway will open to traffic. Here are the highlights: The section of the Peakway will connect Hunter Street through to Laura Duncan Road, and onto N. Salem Street A 200-foot bridge over CSX railroad tracks made up a large part of the cost. The new crossing means the town will close the at-grade crossing on Moore Street. Also, a new traffic signal at the Peakway's intersection with North Salem Street will improve safety

Does anyone know what is going in where the Fuji Asian Bistro was? and I notice Firestone in going across the street from there. That facility will soon be home to Apex Banquet Hall.

Apex Jaycee Park Additions Completed

A ribbon-cutting was held by the Town of Apex to unveil a brand new playground at the park. The new amenities specifically designed for children ages 2-5 include a rubberized play surface, three slides, a bridge, stepping stones and a small hut. The site is located between the athletic fields in a shaded area with new benches and a picnic table. For about a decade, the Citizens for Apex Parks, or CAPS, a nonprofit organization, had been trying to add amenities to Jaycee Park at 451 West Williams Street.

In February, the town council approved an additional 3.4 million-gallon fuel storage tank on the property of Motiva Enterprises. Located just outside of town limits on Ten-Ten Road, many nearby Cary and Apex residents raised objections about the expansion and cited numerous concerns during the pulic hearing. Later Motiva applied for annexation into the town of Apex in order to gain a waterline to the terminal.

In June a contingent of town officials, business leaders and Motiva representatives gathered at Apex Jaycee Park for a check presentation of $20,000 and groundbreaking ceremony for the playground construction. Motiva’s Apex employees will also be putting some sweat equity into the project, volunteering to build benches and replant shade trees. Sam’s Club of Morrisville donated $1,200 for safety fencing and shade trees.
