There <br /> were over 65 people in attendance (non-committee and staff members). <br /> There were many questions about who would administer and operate the park. Others <br /> asked how this site would be coordinated with the Duke Forest trails to the north and <br /> other planned trails along New Hope Creek to the south. People offered their thoughts <br /> about the potential closing of Pickett Road and how that might enhance the park. <br /> Others were not in favor of closing the road to through traffic. <br /> for other facilities that had not been considered b <br /> Finally, were ideas offered Y the <br /> Y� <br /> committee, including a pedestrian bridge over Pickett Road, camp sites, a <br /> canoe/kayak access area, a bike lane along Erwin Road, and signage about the <br /> geology of the area. A number of people supported construction of a new sidewalk <br /> along Erwin Road for children to access the property from Forest View Elementary <br /> School. <br /> A summary of the comments and suggestions from the second Public Meeting is <br /> provided as Appendix B. <br /> ideas and suggestions estions for the master plan <br /> Two public meetings generated i �� p <br /> 12 <br />
