I have recently noticed a median going in along <br />the center of Bunker Lake Blvd, which raises concernsfor both my neighbors and my husband and I. This median is <br />going to cause a number of problems and inconviences for our town home community and surrounding residents and <br />businesses. Below is a list of my concerns in regard to the construction project: <br />1.) Sunfish Ponds Townhomes is a private road, which we pay to have maintained. Since construction has begun there <br />has been a noticable increase in traffic through our Townhome Residences due to Wolfram Streets closure. Although <br />reopening Wolfram street after completion of construction may reduce some traffic, the median will prevent people <br />from being able to turn left, therefore still increasing the traffic through our townhome residences. There are lots of <br />children in this neighborhood, including a daycare, which further raises my concerns. There are many individuals who <br />speed through our Townhome Residences who are not townhome owners. Since this is a private road, how do you plan <br />to prevent and control non -Sunfish Pond Townhome owners from traveling on our privately owned road? <br />Soulutions recommended: <br />a.) Take out the median on Bunker Lake Blvd. allowing left turn access. <br />b.) Put in a paid for and maintained county/city electronic gate for Sunfish Ponds Townhomes Association, which would <br />provide only townhome owners access to the gated area, <br />2.) Limited access to Casey's General store, causes inconviences and reduction of revenue for the business. <br />Solutions: <br />a.) Allow turn access into Casey's on both roads traveling in all directions. <br />3.) An increase in accidents is likely to occur at the intersection of Sunfish Lake Blvd and Bunker Lake Blvd. due to more <br />individuals turning right onto Bunker Lake Blvd and needing to make u-turns to access East Bound Bunker Lake Blvd. If u- <br />turns are not allowed at the intersection, then this will further increase traffic through the neighborhoods, raising child <br />and pedestrian safety concerns. <br />4 <br />
