Midland Road is a treasure of beautiful trees and gentle curves. It should be left alone for all of us to enjoy. It ain't broke, don't fix it.

this is an iconic road and should be protected as a historic resource, in fact it should be made a local landmark. People need to slow down and drive the speed limit, it is horrible the amount of people that exceed the limit by 10 to 20 mph. Pinehurst and Southern Pines are missing out by not having police stationed on this road to hand out tickets.

Lower speed limit, add more cops. This isn't Fayetteville, please don't make it look like it!

Midland Road is gem with a low rate of accidents with injuries. Don't fix what ain't broken.

Saving our pine trees along this road is preserving our history and the charm of Pinehurst and Southern Pines. Midland Road contributes directly to home values and tourism.

This historic road is an iconic and lovely space that needs preserving. Once destroyed it cannot be replaced!

We have precedents established years ago by Elizabeth S. Ives, Katharine L Boyd, First Lady Claudia "Lady Bird" Johnson, and many others who have worked to established preservation in Moore County. Their efforts have contributed towards building and maintaining the natural beauty of the area. They, and others, set the pace. It is our honorable duty to continue the work as our generation moves forward.

Lower the speed limit and enforce it. Do not cut down trees. Any trees planted as "replacements" should be pine trees.

The traffic laws should be enforced; don't cut the trees. It is not the trees' fault it is the fault of scofflaws who need to be fined and ticketed. The trees are a valuable enriching part of the Sandhills. My address is: [email protected]; my street address is 465 S. Bethesda Road, Southern Pines, 28387

Enforcing the traffic laws may be complicated with three jurisdictions: Southern Pines, Pinehurst, and Highway Patrol, but it is not the trees' fault. STOP THE SCOFFLAWS INSTEAD. The natural beauty enriches our lives and charms tourists. My address is 465 S. Bethesda Road, Southern Pines, 28387, also my e-mail address is [email protected].

I am a Pinehurst resident and I am vehemently opposed to cutting anymore pines on this beautiful road

We are new here. The first thing that attracted us was the beauty of the trees along Midland Road. Why not reduce the speed limit and enforce it at least for a trial period. If that yields the desired results, all good. If not, then consider Plan B. Nothing lost there. But eliminating the area's distinguishing beauty cannot easily be undone.
