Community Appearance

Many issues fall under this category including corridor enhancement, viewsheds and design guidelines for new development and the rehabilitation of existing development.

Should viewsheds be identified and protected proactively?

Is our current Thoroughfare Overlay (TO) district adequate for enhancing major roadways?

Do our natural areas need a program for their protection?

The landscaping and flowers on the roadway are a waste of taxpayer money.

Yes - should be protected through active intervention.
Need plan to survey/identify

Absolutely viewsheds should be preserved - Forsyth County is beautiful - especially the rural parts.

Natural areas need protection but I don't think a lot of tax money should sustain it. A volunteer project could sustain it.

Fewer of those intrusive electronic signs!

Absolutely, we should protect our viewsheds, especially the Highway 311 corridor between W-S and High Point. Billboards should only be allowed to be located on commercial or industrial sites, not on public property and not on greenway corridors.

Our natural areas should have a protective oversight czar with real teeth that can issue a “stop work” order if necessary.
