Here are the top comments for July 2025 Wayne County, Speak Your Mind!

Years back, the Wayne County Master Gardeners. . . . had beautiful maintained Butterfly Gardens. Each garden represented a butterfly wing. There were walkways wide enough for walking/wheelchairs near the gardens, also a nice bench. I was saddened (confused) to see the gardens go to the wayside!

What happened to WFMC? It was the only radio station in the black community that our elderly loved.

We need better parks and things for kids and things for teens today around here, and fix the big potholes!

They need to put some sidewalks all the way down Central Heights Road They have them everywhere else. it's so dangerous for people walking up and down this road!

Elderly people outside city limits in Wayne County should not have to pay for van transportation. What if they need it everyday? 10 dollars a day is too much especially if you only receive Social Security. And many of these people don’t qualify for Meals on Wheels!

I wish Vail Rd in Pikeville would stop being used as a drag strip. The same for Buckswamp Rd and Perkins Rd. You would think will all the law enforcement that live in this area there would be pay more attention to this. To the young man in the Camero who revs his engine in front of my house every weekday morning at 0620 we hear you. You can stop now!

We need a low cost spay/neuter clinic in this county and more Rabies Vaccination clinic events. We need funding for TNR and we need a larger shelter.

Need to paint new lines on all roads and paint yellow around all the medians in middle of roads so people can see at night and when it rains

Repurpose some of these vacant commercial properties and homes - offer incentives to developers to redevelop instead of overdeveloping our natural landscapes.

Where are the city limits on Patetown rd and Wayne Country Day Road? Why do people in the city have to pay property taxes and county taxes? Not right!

4-WAY STOPS. Either every crossroad should be 4 way or none at all. Drivers have the mind-set that all crossroads are 4 way and pull out in oncoming traffic. This is a real hazard that DOT needs to address.

We need a new skatepark. The current one was condemned when it was on base 15 years ago, and the ramps are even worse now!

We need a dog park on the edge of town. An open area like Kinston has. I don’t feel safe at Stoney Creek Park. Walking through the trees where homeless lives, just don’t feel safe to me. Maybe they could put some dog runs closer to the parking area in the open.

Fremont needs the sidewalk extended to the new library. It stops about two blocks before it.

Then there's the "homeless" panhandlers. Seems like they're on every corner of major intersections.

I wish Goldsboro had better entertainment for the entire family ...nothing to do here!

Why can't the unused train tracks be paved over?

More sidewalks/walkways/bikeways!

The intersection at the entrance to Cliffs of the Neuse State Park (Park Rd/Park Entrance Rd) should be a 4-way stop! Currently, traffic on Park Rd has to stop, and it's difficult to see traffic coming out of the park.
