Re: Traffic impact
Stefanie,
Based on responses I have received from the City's Traffic Engineering and Engineering Departments, the
following are answers to your questions:
1. Regarding the traffic backlog at the South Shields Street - West Harmony Road intersection ... the
Harmony / Shields intersection will be one of the first improvements completed under the recently
approved Building on Basics tax. Therefore, it is not an issue for the proposed Innovation Island
development.
2. Regarding the statement: "This development will be responsible for a repay due for the South Taft Hill
Road and West Harmony Road improvements." ... The developer for the Innovation Island project is
required to repay the City for the cost of constructing the improvements to West Harmony Road and South
Taft Hill Road abutting the property, which was part of the original realignment to West Harmony Road
connecting with County Road 38E that the City Engineering Department constructed.
I hope this adequately answers your questions. Please let me know if there is anything else that you need.

Steve,
I have received a copy and reviewed the
Transportation Impact Study for the
Harmony/Taft intersection for the proposed
Innovation Island Development.
My further question is this: what about the
traffic backlog at the intersection of Harmony
& Shields?? It is fact that most of us in this
neighborhood drive east to obtain our shopping
goods. I would like to request a report be
compiled for this as well, because it does impact
adding more people to the southwest quadrant.
Furthermore, I would like to understand, and
have the following statement be addressed:
"This development will be responsible for a repay
due for the South Taft Hill Road and West Harmony
Road improvements."
I appreciate any information you can provide
