Misinformation may
have been the cause of a low turnout
at Tuesday's East Winston
Area Plan drop-in session, a
planner said this week.
Three adult residents and a
Boy Scout troop attended the session
at the Piedmont Recreation
Center on East 29th Street.
Ann MasUPV. fl ?#?ninr nlannpr
in the city/county Planning
Department, said that she had
heard from one person who did
not attend the session that some
residents were told at a
neighborhood Housing Authority
meeting that the East Winston Parkway
would not affect them.
But the proposed new expressway
and a spur connector to
Highway 52, which are among
' transportation improvements
mentioned in the plan, would affect
the Piedmont Circle area,
Mrs. Massey said.
She also said she was extremely
disappointed by Tuesday's turnout.

they graduate will live in the area,

The students cited the need for
a greater variety of stores at the
East Winston Shopping Center
and the need for local banks to
reinvest in the area, she said.
The students were also pleased
that the area will get evening bus
service soon. ^

turnouts, Mrs. Massey said.
But Mrs. Massey said she u
would like to have even more
people come out and give their input.
"What is a little distressing is
that people assume that because
there is a proposal or a plan, that
it is going to happen," she said.
"But unless they support it, it
may never come about."
Four drop-in sessions have
been held so far. Another will be
held Thursday, April 16, at the
