Subject: Planning for the NW corner of Shields & Harmony
Dear Mr. Gloss,
I recently attended a meeting for the re -zoning considerations
of the Northwest corner of Shields and Harmony Road. There was great deal of
discussion that went on and several neighbors and I wondered whether you
might be able to send us the minutes of the meeting. As was discussed, there
are many concerns that we all have - especially considering the thought of
what was termed "affordable" housing. I consider this to be high -density
housing that will attract a great deal of additional traffic to an area that
is already incredibly dangerous for those of us that leave the area via the
Wakerobin/Shields route. The intersection is too close to Harmony and during
"rush" hours, the traffic is easily backed -up and blocking the intersection.
Parents dropping their children off at the two schools in the neighborhood,
are always lined up, trying to exit out onto northbound Shields. A thought
consideration might be to route Wakerobin north to meet with an extension
Troutman, and then put a light at that intersection, instead of spotting
Shield with lights - which seems to be the City's mode of coping with any
traffic problem.
There are also concerns about the school capacity, congestion, dangerous
conditions for students that must cross Shields to attend school, general
property values, open space issues, and other items that were insufficiently
dealt with by the developer. Would you kindly send the meeting minutes back
with any thoughts you might have already considered? I appreciate your
assistance.
Thanks,
Dave
