Needs improve- ment

Agree with other suggestions that a sidewalk should be created to connect the Ballentine neigh- borhood to the Sunset Lake Commons area. This section currently requires one to walk along Sunset Lake Rd in the dirt/grass/mud and is unsafe for both pedestrians and drivers as the volume of traffic along Sunset Lake Rd continues to increase. Several walkers and runners frequent this stretch of Dwight Rowland. When you pass Rowland Meadows the shoulders are so narrow that it’s hazardous, both for drivers and pedestrians to avoid each other. Extending the Judd Reserve-installed sidewalk to both the Willow Spring Service Station and the (forthcoming) Dollar General would improve pedestrian safety. Especially since so many people from nearby neighborhoods walk to the gas station already. The increase in traffic DG will bring warrants safer conditions for those without transportation. Would like to see sidewalks on Sunset Lake Road connecting Bass Lake Road/Hilltop Needmore Road at least to Bentwinds. We live in Vintage Ridge and can not safely walk to any other neighbor- hood without walking on someone else’s property or on the road. There are portions of Judd parkway between Main Street and Broad that don’t yet have sidewalk which make walking or running the whole Judd loop not possible because of the narrow shoulder and blind curves Would be nice to be able to walk to downtown Varina from the Retreat apartment complex, and would be nice to walk from the neighborhood to the Bengal Townes shops. Crosswalk needed across johnson pond to safely cross to the school and back. Increased traffic in the AM and PM rush hours makes this difficult to safely cross. I would love a path to continue from Meadow Bluffs Development to Crooked Creek where you can then get to Hilltop Needmore. There’s a very small amount of sidewalk needed but would make an amazing greenway for tons of neighborhoods to safely get to the park! Thank you!

Connect Partin Place subdivision to Harrison Place subdivision. There is about 15 feet where there is no sidewalk connecting the two and its unsafe to walk out onto 42 to go between.

I cannot access this place by sidewalk. Have to drive from Crooked Creek Meadowview or walk in a busy road These woods are beautiful and should be preserved, with greenway trails added. The current possibility of a 4-lane road passing through this area would be an incredible loss to what could be a beautiful ecological benefit to the town.
