PAGE 8A > - FORSYTH COUNTY NEWS - Sunday, March 7,2004 BECrA bml **> ■ Parkway Protest Above, Molly Bryant, 6, on Thursday shows her disdain outside South Forsyth Middle School for the planned construction of Windermere Parkway. Top right, residents of the Three Chimneys community maintain the board of commissioners misled them last year. Days before a countywide election to extend a 1 percent sales tax, commissioners agreed the road would be two lanes. However, after voters approved the sales tax, the board included a median in project plans. Current designs for the road indicate that median will be 44 feet wide —a width the residents say will allow county officials to easily widen the road at some future date. Residents criticized County Engineering Director John Cunard and County Commission Chairman Jack Conway for the change in roadway plans. Bottom left, Commissioner A.J. Pritchett talks to a protestor. Pritchett voted against the project plans. Bottom right, Sharon Forrest, a Three Chimneys resident, lets her thoughts be known.
