Phone Number For purposes of Public Safety Response,do you support a second access to Bowers Drive?* Yes, I support a full public road connection Yes, but only if it is used by Public Safety (and Public Works Maintenance) No, I do not support a second connection to Bowers Drive Other(please describe below) Disclaimer For purposes of this survey, a non-response will be considered as a non-objection to the connection. Please comment and explain your response above. Ours is one of the properties directly adjacent to this proposed road. We are opposed to a second access to Bowers Drive. First off, we were not told of this when we purchased our property and are greatly disappointed by the finger pointing and lack of transparency in addressing this issue. Second, we are concerned about lack of safety to our property directly. Since ours would become a corner lot, we would have an entire side of our house exposed to a new roadway that connects to a neighborhood with 250 new homes and an open invitation for possible criminal activity. We are concerned for the safety of our home and ourselves. Another issue to be addressed would be the change in value of our property and any devaluation because of this new said roadway. Will we be compensated, and how, for any losses incurred?The road overall cannot handle more traffic, be it pedestrian or vehicle. Bowers Drive is an active street and adding any traffic poses more of a safety issue to us and our neighbors. Will there be street lights along this new roadway that will be glaring into our bedroom windows? If you build a full roadway with curbs, does that means curbs for Bowers Drive?Where does this end? It seems youa€TMre creating a means for more problems and a never ending cycle. Disappointing to say the least. Wea€TMve got a longer list of rising concerns that we cannot wait to voice and look forward to the opportunity to be heard.
