I would strongly encourage this body to further push for clear answers regarding the ultimate goal of this project, for whom the road access is actually intended to benefit, and what the long-term impacts of the current alignment will be. I would also, since I have a moment here, really want to express my appreciation to the project development crew for not putting in non-motorized pathways on the west side of the road. I was very concerned that that was going to create the potential for some bad tragedies. I've seen the traffic in the area during school times, and I could see a student trying to cross the road from this— from the west heading east to get to the school, and it would not be a good thing.
