The circle at Fairfax, Canterbury, and Windsor is currently being used as a collection point for the city's equipment while extensive street work is being done in our area.
We want the city to know how important this circle is to our neighborhood. We often use it as a gathering point for holiday parades, pot lucks, etc. As this important street work continues, let's make sure that Keep Winston-Salem Beautiful and the WS Street Division/ Urban Foresty are planning a full beautification of our dear circle.
We suggest the following:
1. Existing tree is old and gnarly with beetle holes and dead branches-- needs replacing.
2. A metal circular bench around the new tree
3. A new fence, perhaps chain link partitions (Ex. Traffic circle on Club Park Rd.)
4. Completely removing old plantings, reseeding and replanting around the edge of circle
5. A water source
6. A follow up schedule to ensure landscaping survives

The momentum surrounding our proposal for the neighborhood circle has grown significantly in recent weeks. It is encouraging to see such a collective desire to restore this space to its proper role as a community gathering point.

This location is important to everyone trying to build a local community within our neighborhood and get to know our neighbor's.
The families in our beautiful neighborhood take great pride in where we live and play. Please help us preserve the beauty and thank you for all you are doing to upgrade our neighborhood.
This current circle is an embarrassment to our neighborhoods. Please consider our request in upgrading and beautifying this area.
Don't understand the chain link fence part. Doesn't make me think of "beautification." All else I understand and think the neighborhood deserves.
If nothing else, please repair the damage done from having it used as an equipment storage spot.
Would be very interested in helping !
This is a great idea to upgrade the circle.

It is the cities responsibility to maintain this property as a park like setting. It had come into such disrepair before this project. This project gives us the opportunity to create something that the neighbors to pride in helping the city maintain. The contractors have totally destroyed it. Please help us build something the city and the neighborhood will take pride in.
