Name: Chris Estes on Feb 4, 2007Comments: I work full time as director of an advocacy and resource nonprofit for affordable housing and have a masters degree in city and regional planning from UNC-CH. I live in the Oakwood neighborhood and am a strong advocate of inclusive community development that is sustainable by encouraging local business development and transportation alternative to automobiles. It is amazing to me that Raleigh allowed Peace College to shut off the most pedestrian and bicycle friendly access to the area of business development it hopes to promote for downtaon development. This biking/walking path is critical to allowing neighborhoods to access the Seaboard development area without using their autmomobile. THis path should also connect to a sidewalk that runs back to the Capitol Park neighborhood allowing that mixed income community better access to Seaboard as well.

Name: Bill Spruill on Feb 4, 2007Comments: If we want the Seaboard development to be successful having easy access will be essential. It is like buying on the web. The more clicks required, the less likely a prospect is to buy. Detouring around to Delway ESPECIALLY once further construction begins in that area, makes it less likely that anyone would use that route to walk to the market, the hardware store, the garden shop, the restaurants or the gym. I noted on the Peace website the college encourages it's constituents to "Experience Peace". I submit that part of the Peace "Experience" should include interaction with the diverse community around it.Flag

Name: Mollie Doll on Feb 4, 2007Comments: I am a stay-at-home mther of two small boys and I regularly use the stroller from North Bloodworth Street to Capital City Grocery. Please consider this walkway!! We were one of the few families in support of Peace College when the proposal to close Franklin was first discussed; however, our support was with the understanding that the college would welcome pedestrian access. Please consider this petition!!Flag

Name: Jennie Malcolm on Feb 5, 2007Comments: This sounds like a good town/gown compromise. The self-imposed isolation of Peace College and the creation of an obstacle to pedestrian traffic amidst a fledgling downtown business district benefits no one. Thank you to whoever proposed a Franklin St Pathway.Flag

Name: Steven Martin on Feb 5, 2007Comments: We recently walked to the new Seaboard grocery store from Holden St. The side walk ended, and we had to cut through some grass and landscaping to get onto the street. A sidewalk would improve foot traffic, safety, and probably business to areas.Flag

Name: Orion Pozo on Feb 5, 2007Comments: Since the closing of a segment of Franklin St. I have found Peace College to be an obstacle rather than a neighbor. I live on one side and shop on the other side of this once-thoroughfare. The action by the city council to give my street to a private college has upset me so much, that everytime I am forced to walk around Peace College, I have the urge to spit on the school.Flag

Name: Matt Goodall on Feb 5, 2007Comments: City planners need to be doing everything possible to encourage pedestrian traffic between the downtown neighborhoods and our local businesses, many of whom depend upon foot traffic.

Name: Nancy Walters on Feb 5, 2007Comments: Yes, we need a pathway. And dare I say such public access is in Peace College's best interest I must admit my family (two small kids in tow) has forged our own off-path route for directness and ease. We love to walk to Capital City Grocery!Flag

Name: Haskell Fitz-Simons on Feb 6, 2007Comments: I cannot imagine why Peace College wouldn't welcome this means of ameliorating its case within this community, after its percieved hijacking of a much-used public thoroughfare. The fact is that a public pathway would greatly facilitate access to the new and, in some cases, struggling businesses in the Seaboard Center. It is to everyone's benefit to do what we can to support these nascient businesses in our community. If they fail, what, indeed, might come to take their placesFlag
