I think kids' play areas should be mandatory in medium and high-density developments with very little backyard. This would be taking care of the kids health. Example Mayes hall development needs one. Park with benches is not enough
As the town of Davidson has grown, more and more car-dependent suburbs have sprung up on roads leading into the downtown area. Additionally, Main Street is only a segment of NC 115, an important arterial road for our region a bit more broadly. The confluence of Concord and main naturally brings a lot of challenges for managing the flow of traffic and of people across those two roads. As a pedestrian, crossing over Main Street can be daunting. Drivers appear to be very focused on their car, their lane, the car in front of them, or the on-street parking they are trying to snag before someone else. They tend not to be focused on the pedestrians, the ones on the sidewalk, or desperately waiting for someone to stop and let them cross. The crosswalks we have in town reflect our deference to the car very plainly: the “high visibility” strobing lights and bright retro-reflective signs are attempts to grab as much of the attention of dri…
The attached image is an example of the sign which is used throughout the Nashville downtown area at crosswalks. Crosswalk safety is a joint responsibility between pedestrian and driver. I found these signs a good reminder of my responsibility as a pedestrian while transiting the Nashville city streets.
Perhaps this simple sign could enhance pedestrian safety in Davidson as well?
Fast internet access is required for the residents of our town to thrive. Currently, Internet speeds range from virtually nonexistent to fiber connections with very fast speeds. There is great inequity from neighborhood to neighborhood. As part of the planning process to improve our town, I would like to see the town assist with the implementation of fiber internet connections for all residents.
We are new to the area and my kids are asking for a skate park. Has this been considered before? With such nice weather a skate park could be used almost year round and there is no one in neither Huntersville nor Cornelius only a small one in Mooresville. It is a great outdoor activity for all ages. Thanks
We enjoyed the city as we visited for 6 weeks. The residential traffic ways are dangerous and blind in some spots. Parking Enforcement has to be a low priority as a retired police officer, I understand that. Parking on one side creates a disrupted flow pattern. Davidson has grown and traffic flow has changed. Consider NO PARKING ON STREET to promote a safer traffic flow. Thanks for allowing input and observations from visitors.
Rearrange the new seating tables at the end of the parking lot between Summit and Pickled Peach. At the moment, one of the tables blocks the only curb-cut for wheelchairs, carts, and strollers.
Davidson claims to be a progressive city. The hypocrisy in this is disgusting. I am appalled that "Roosevelt Wilson" park continues the name. I will be filing a petition to change the racist name of the park.
