Dear Mayor and Town Council Members; Town Manager; Director of Housing and Community Services; and Planning Director: I am writing to express my support for creating a green space and walking trail on the Pathway Drive parcels. Here are a few reasons for this proposal:
  • Preserving the land as a greenspace by rezoning it as a C, conservation area, will protect this mature hardwood forest and animal habitat and help mitigate future heat increases in Carrboro.
  • An unpaved walking trail will provide residents with access to the popular trails in Carolina North Forest, promoting health and wellness within the community.
  • Conserving and restoring watersheds, ecosystems and native species is a goal of the Carrboro Connects Comprehensive Plan. 
  • Trees, shrubs and other plants make  important contributions to the vitality and character of the Town and its neighborhoods and create a more aesthetic, pleasant and emotionally satisfying place in which to live, work and spend leisure time. Carrboro Land Use Ordinance.
Thank you for considering this proposal. I believe that a greenspace and walking trail would greatly benefit the community, preserve the natural beauty of Carrboro, and help meet Town goals and ordinances. Sincerely,A Concerned Citizen
