This was a promise to the residents that dates back <br /> to Mayor Tarver and we are still suffering <br /> with the traffic and waiting for the City to make good on its commitment. By allowing rezoning and increasing the <br /> number of lots to be reduced to 1 per acre, it will <br /> add additional traffic to the loop. <br /> 2) Most of the traffic that goes to the golf course travels down Happy Valley road. It is the Map Quest route from most <br /> directions as it is the shortest. Much of the <br /> traffic leaving the golf course will make the illegal left to travel down Happy Valley because it almost never policed, <br /> shorter route, and no speed bumps. Happy Valley <br /> road is a dangerously narrow and windy road. The line of sight issues because of the turns, and the lack of street lights <br /> makes it very unsafe. Add to the recipe allot <br /> walkers, bicyclists etc and it simply would be unconscionable to be considering increased vehicle traffic. <br /> 3) The City should deny this application and spend the necessary time and money to work with the County to close Happy <br /> Valley road before the Golf course. <br /> This had been discussed as a viable alternative to direct traffic onto the City streets until they area able to provide the <br /> long promised bypass road. Instead the City <br /> installed speed bumps on Sycamore and Allisal that pushed even more of the golf course traffic down the much more <br /> dangerous Happy Valley road. <br /> 4) The City should have had a moratorium on any rezoning appications until the bypass road is complete to keep from <br /> having to fight these battles on an individual <br /> basis. What would be the process necessary to request the City to start this application for such a moratorium? <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Kellen and Erin Aura <br /> 1 <br />
