Re: Wind Trail Townhomes Project
Dear Mr. Shepard:
I am writing to you regarding the proposed project known as Wind
Trail Townhomes. I would like to voice my concern over this project. I believe
that the increased traffic generated by this proposal that will pour onto Shields,
especially during the rush hours, is too great a burden to bear for those of us who
live in the neighborhood.
Traffic is already a problem on Shields. This problem can only be
enhanced by Wind Trail project, particularly in light of the proposed Spring Creek
Village project just north of the Wind Trail project. Presently, there are four (4)
traffic lights on Shields between Drake and Prospect Roads. If Wind Trail project
were to proceed, a fifth traffic light will be required at Hill Pond Road to
accommodate the increased traffic. It is already a hassle entering onto south
Shields from Shire Court. The proposed increase of residents east of Shields will
only exacerbate this problem.
I respectfully request that you reconsider granting the go-ahead on
this project. In the alternative, I beg you to re -think the traffic plan for Shields
between Drake and Prospect. Don't let Shields Street become a second College
Avenue!
Regards,
Patrick J. Murp y
