Neighborhood Issues

We are still listening to hear what neighborhood concerns are. What we have heard so far is:

Pinehurst Community Building
Increase the ways that community members have to interact with each other.
Help residents to get to know their neighbors better.
Be inclusive of all who live in our neighborhood. Be sure to reach out to residents of the wide range of ethnicities, religions, renter/homeowner, younger/elder, children/no children in household.
Define: what are the boundaries of Pinehurst.

Sustainable Development
Encourage new development to have attractive, green and sustainable design and elements. Apply this concept to the neighborhood as well as to individual projects.
Encourage community minded, enlightened and cooperative developers to come to Pinehurst.

Walkability
This includes creating sidewalks in some areas viewed as less safe for walking. Also, better maintain existing sidewalks.
Reenergize the business district.
Create a neighborhood map – include items such as locations of parks and similar destinations.

Townhouses
Poorly designed townhouses are viewed as a visual blight on the neighborhood and as a parking menace.
Pinehurst community members would like to see more attractive and varied designs and parking that townhouse owners can actually use.
Requiring developers to go through design review and asking DPD to enforce design review requirements (such as when developers attempt to evade design review).

Reenergize the business district
