Summary of Costs and Benefits for Stakeholders and the Community

Public Comments… July 17 & 17, 2008 Meetings ü Make it look nice. ü Make it a place where people can go and eat and have a place to sit and rest. ü Police substation is a good idea. ü Being near railroad would entice rail service. ü Be accessible. ü Have a full cover 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. ü Building design should feel open. ü Secure parking. ü No big trees that people can hide behind.
