Open space should be protected and preserved. Development restrictions, requirements for alternative development styles that reduce the amount of land clearance, conservation easements, and development incentive programs are all tools to that could be utilized to help to promote open space preservation. Existing parks should be improved. The property with the waterfall, which is located in the vicinity of Hubbard Road and the new Town park property, should be preserved. Stream corridors should be protected and water quality should receive greater consideration.
Watershed management is important.
Traffic from the proposed Knox State Park must be properly managed. Traffic should be kept off of Willardshire Road to the greatest extent possible. Streetscape projects should be extended along Route 20A, east and west of the Village. A multi-use trail system, with bike paths, walking paths, and sidewalks, should be created to connect all the parks, schools, and major focal points of the community and provide for easier access to the Village center. Those in attendance seemed evenly split on whether or not the interchanges for the 400 Expressway should be improved for two-way access.
