“I respect and value the rights of North Woods property owners to protect and preserve their property for themselves, their heirs and all the plants and animals that inhabit that area. I do not respect outside developers destroying our communities and environment.”

— Jo

“This is a LAND GRAB and must be stopped! Taking land from private homeowners should be the option of last resort for NCDOT, and should only happen when there are no other options. In this case, NCDOT should use the nearby land owned by Chatham Park, especially since this road is being built for the benefit and profit of Chatham Park.”

— Mark

“There is no excuse for using individual land to build a bypass needed because of Chatham Park when Chatham Park has usable land available. Stop being greedy developers and do the right thing.”

- Tracie

“Dot should not take people’s property when property is available 200 yards away that Chatham Park owns and this to my knowledge is just benefiting Chatham Park! Not only that the proposed road in 2015 was on Chatham Park Land!”

- Kim

“It’s bad enough that Chatham Park will alter the character of our sweet town beyond recognition. It’s unconscionable that the developers should take the land of people who have been here for years and want nothing more than to live in peace. Is there no end to this company’s greed and arrogance? Show some conscience and backbone and reroute the road.”

- Leda

“Chatham Park is big enough and can use already purchased land without disturbing established neighborhoods!”

- Deborah

“I believe Chatham Park has a perfectly viable alternative and in order to prevent undo hardship in 17 residents I think they should take the alternative.”

- Lois

“I’m signing because Chatham Parks has become land hungry and is not just taking away this land but they are condemning people’s homes and taking peoples land that’s been in their families for generations. Use your own land, Jim Goodnight.”

-Mallory

“I've seen what dividing neighborhoods can do. Durham is an awful example, with their freeway going through a former neighborhood.”

- Suzanne

“Why is it that large development companies think we want more clear cut, big box stores and overpriced living spaces that are poorly made!? Save our beautiful natural spaces and stop trying to destroy neighborhoods!
Maybe look at internet infrastructure for current rural neighborhoods so people can stay in their homes and have access to the internet and more jobs! Do something constructive instead of destructive!”

- Elise

“There is no way this change in the projected bypass was NOT to benefit Chatham Park. It is a traversing when the government tramps on the small landowners to satisfy the greed of big developments! The 2015 road needs to be reinstated!”

- Denise

“I am a decades-long resident and taxpayer of Pittsboro and before that of Chatham County. I believe that Chatham Park should build their Parkway on their own undeveloped land and not destroy an existing neighborhood. and the Town of Pittsboro should not be a party to this destruction. Please do the right thing for all our sakes.”

- Patricia

“I lived in Chatham County for over 15 years and still have friends and family there and in Raleigh and Cary and elsewhere in NC. It is wrong to destroy or break apart old neighborhoods for highways to new development.”

- Patrick

“I have lived in this lovely neighborhood with real neighbors for more than 20 years. It just seems very unreasonable for DOT working in partnership with Chatham Park to take land from 3 residents here as well as isolation 2 properities on the other side of the highway being isolated from the neighborhood. There is undeveloped land available 200 yards east of North Wood neighborhood that belongs to Chatham Park and was the original plan for this road. Please leave North Wood Neighborhood in tack and move keep North Chatham Parkway on Chatham Park’s land.”

- Ducka

“Why use private citizen land when undeveloped land owned by Chatham Park is available 200 yards to the east? NCDOT in partnership with Chatham Park need to do the right thing and shift North Chatham Park Way onto land owned by Chatham Park. This decision will set a precedence and tone in the type of relationship that will be woven between Chatham Park and the community. DO THE RIGHT THING!”

- Diana

“Let CPI put the roads on the land they already own. Enough with the explosive growth. Enough with the tiny lots that aren't big enough to turn around in and housing crammed together so tight no one has an ounce of privacy.

Quit bulldozing down every single living thing in sight.”

-Carla

“Be fair to all people, not just wealthy land owners”

- Lynn

“I’m signing because these people have lived here for years. It is unfair to now change plans and put the parkway through their property.”

- Jane

“Too much building is destroying the ambiance of people's neighborhoods. It's adding to air pollution, light pollution, noise pollution, water pollution, traffic congestion, and litter.”

- Marcine

“I want our town and land protected and kept pristine, we are already losing so much of the woods, the beautiful forests... wildlife....”
