This sums up the highway proposal.... |
Details:
- The current revised plan is NOT a highway beautification project and will have NO landscaping.
- An unattractive 4-5 foot wide concrete median will appear in much of the 1.8 mile project.
- Seventeen (17) U-Turns will replace ALL left turns – requiring vehicles to cross over two lanes of oncoming traffic to get to the U-Turn lane on the opposite side of the highway and then vehicles must merge back into traffic with NO acceleration lanes.
- Access to major connector streets will be limited – streets such as Professional Land, Tiller Drive, Parkersville Road and Archer Road.
- Emergency vehicles and large trucks WILL NOT be able to make most U-Turns. Many heavy trucks will be forced to go through Petigu & Martin Luther King Road residential areas.
- The project will have MAJOR ECONOMIC IMPACT on landowners and businesses.
- Most businesses cannot be accessed from the opposite side of Highway 17.
- This project will lead to more strip development.
