MORRISVILLE, N.C. -

Morrisville leaders heard from folks one last time before making some big decisions about the town's future.

Tuesday was the final public hearing on the town's Land Use and Transportation Plans.

After they're passed, the guidelines will dictate how Morrisville handles everything long term -- from developments to major traffic issues to green space.

Several dozen people turned out with a mix of opinions about the plans.

"The citizen input, advisory committee work and staff efforts, along with the consultant ... have resulted in the best plan for Morrisville moving forward into the future," said Morrisville resident Michael Roberts.

Almost everyone agreed that Morrisville's crowded roads, especially NC Highway 54, need to be a priority, but some say it isn't getting enough attention.

"The proposed plan is simply too commercial and too dense," said Trish Kirkpatrick, who lives in Cary. "Secondly, it doesn't represent the will of the overall community."

Morrisville Town Council members will pore over all the information they've been given, and should make a decision next month.
