Summary of Costs and Benefits for Stakeholders and the Community
Public Comments… July 17 & 17, 2008 Meetings • Make it look nice. • Make it a place where people can go and eat and have a place to sit and rest. • Police substation is a good idea. • Being near railroad would entice rail service. • Be accessible. • Have a full cover over the bus loading areas. Winston-Salem is a good example of a full cover and it is opposite of a concert venue so there is activity in the evening. • Building design should feel open. • Secure parking. • No big trees that people can hide behind.
