Regarding the annexation request by Penelope Constratikes of Riley Planning
Services LLC, on behalf of Triple Dot Development of pacer R3275601000...I would
like to submit my opposition to such for the following valid concern.
There are numerous reasons to support my opposition but will leave it to one, the
most important one.
1. Public Safety. Public safety should be of the highest concern for any municipality
and thoughtful consideration needs to be applied when considering this annexation
request for the purpose of adding more traffic to this corridor. Approving this parcel for
annexation for the intended purpose of adding more multi-family housing will continueto add much more traffic to an already extremely busy road. At some point, the
evaluation of the supporting infrastructure needs to be considered as the city
continues to approve one growth segment after another.
My home directly backs the intersection of Midway and Moss and I can personally
attest on record to the many auto accidents that have happened at this intersection.
Many people have been injured as there are approximately 8-12 a year at this
intersection alone. A review of the police reports for this area will confirm. Also, therehas been significant traffic growth of large/heavy and semi-trucks using Midway Road
as a way to by-pass Caldwell Blvd to get to the 55/Karcher Road. These large trucks
should not be allowed to travel this road yet there has been nothing to to restrict the
use of the road for such traffic.
Of course all of this also brings about noise and air pollution. In just five years, we
have gone from being able to enjoy our back yard to having to stay in with the
windows closed due to the significant and growing amount of that traffic noise.
I strongly recommend that the annexation request by Penelope Constratikes of Riley
Planning Services LLC, on behalf of Triple Dot Development of pacer R3275601000
not be approved by the city.
Sincerely,
Rick Thomas12045 Thames Ct.
