Skiddles. Thanks. Please note that I have sent you a Private Message and will make every effort to do what Bama has suggested. Thanks again and I will be more than happy to privately communicate with you to see if better more receptive communication can't flow from my scribblings.
As a note to others, I am always appreciative of insightful meaningful constructive criticism and Lord knows I need it more than anyone.

Jim,
I understand your comments, and some of your comments on this subject have been really good. Maybe you should try bigger fonts.
Seriously, we're all busy people and sound bites are what works these days. At some point the discussions will get to a technical level that won't work on this format. Any suggestions?

Shamu, Thanks for your comments and suggestion.
I understand how we all relate more easily to sound bites in modern society and well know that it is difficult to take some technical concepts and easily put them into a few words and still have them retain meaning. Let's face it, we are all as Alvin Toffler once suggested we would be, bombarded daily with more news and information that we can ever examine or absorb. So staying on message and getting through the maze of competing information is a constant challenge for all of us who aspire to share information.
I have long been interested in park development and open space preservation in the Northwest, and my present interest is in trying to identify and develop 'pocket parks' or park areas in Stokesdale (such as the downtown arboretum). I have found two additional areas which are being explored and envisioned for such future uses and many of the techinques I have mentioned previously here in this thread are being explored for use in preserving these areas.
I suppose my only suggestion might be that I am more than willing to meet with any one or any small group to share ideas and explore some creative concepts that might work for others and for other similar projects. And I am also willing to discuss by either PM, email or telephone any clarification or explanation of any of the ideas which I have mentioned or discussed.
I hope this answers your question and is helpful as well.
Edited for font size.

OK, so now the town is looking at three sites, one on Hudson-James Road, one off Hwy 220 at Winfree Rd. and one off Summerfield Road. Anyone want to start the conversation going?

There are to be "open Houses" on the 3 properties later in the month which will allow people to walk the properties, see what the proposed fields will look like and where the lights will be. This is to be on the 21 and the 28th of April.
I personally am still pulling for the Friddle property. It is flat, next to commercial development and more commercial property, and centrally located, easy to access.

| Does anyone know if the hwy150 connection actually ever goes through, how would it affect the location on the current Friddle property. Hasn't the proposal been that 150 would connect at the intersection of Old Summerfield Rd and the road that CVS is on... can't think of what the name is, but it then turns into 150 at the light.

| There has been a safety meeting on the intersection of Auburn Rd and 220. This intersection in the current form will not handle the traffic or be safe according to EMS.

When we were relocated here just over 10 years ago, I made a point of finding out about proposed new roads. We purposely did not buy a lot that was available since the new interstate was supposed to go right in back of it. It's been over 10 years now and that new road is nowhere in sight.
I suspect the same thing about the 150 connector affecting the Friddle property. It will probably be decades before anything happens.

This may be a dumb question WB, but for future reference, how do you go about checking on that sort of thing? I mean I am guessing you contact some state/county/city office and get with some department there- planning? Thanks for your help. I've always wondered about this.
OFF TOPIC I know but indulge me for about 2 posts. Thanks.

| Okay, bama, I'm risking being "OT'd" with you... I think you can get that info from the Town Hall where you live.

OK last post from me (on this topic).
So, the Town Hall would know evrything that is going on in that area? What about if you are outta town limits or the project is -for example- an interstate. Would you need to check with multiple agencies?
I'm just wondering if someone was selling you something, if they could still dupe you somehow if you jsut forgot to check with the national nuclear commission or something and found out they were going to turn your new house and yard into a testing site in 7 years or something.
Sorry for the OT. I would ahve taken this to PM already but i am sure other people could use the knowledge.

| I still think you could go to the nearest town hall and they could at least direct you. Or maybe you could go to the county seat, although I'm not sure what records you'd ask for.... Maybe you'd go to the Planning Dept?
