Piedmont Greenway Master Plan - Town of Kernersville

Appendix D: Public Meeting & Workshop Categories
Activities within Greenways
What activities are you most likely to do in the Greenway:
The goals and objectives listed below were analyzed and compiled from the lists developed by local
citizens during the public workshops held on January 22 & 23, 2000. Participants that filled out comment
sheets and surveys contributed to this base information, each making several additions. In order for
public comments to be more useful to the design team, further discrete categories needed to be made. The
categories consisted of the following objectives: goal of greenway, Recreation/Fitness, management, and
funding. Those who participated stated their own objectives within these categories and an overall list was
made. These objectives were then ranked by citizens at the workshop.
