Subject:Recommendation for Oak and Flanders Mill

Good day, Commissioners,
I will admit up front that I am not a traffic expert, so please receive this suggestion with the weight it deserves. :)
I have traveled Flanders Mill at least three times a week for the past 25 years and have seen huge changes, especially
with the new school. Improvements have been great, but the intersection at Oak and Fanders Mill will very likely be
the scene of some bad traffic accidents if it is left as is. I have nearly been hit a number of times, and I have
witnessed several close calls since the pattern was changed from a 4-way stop to the current pattern.
I would strongly urge the city to install some traffic lights to better control and prevent what will most certainly be
some serious if not fatal collisions. I would think that pedestrians will be safer and traffic around the new school
would be less congested as well. But then, I am not a traffic expert. :)
Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
Wayne Tofslie
