To Whom It May Concern:
My name is Colleen Messina and I live at 3252 Lily Drive. Adjacent to us is the field wherethe proposed Fowler project will happen if it goes through. I have given a great deal of thought
to this project and would like to add the following comment to the record:
The land between West Babcock and Oak Street where the Fowler Project is proposed is
zoned 100% residential, so there are no businesses in that section of town. There are alreadymajor north-south connections close by at Ferguson Avenue, which has a roundabout, and
Cottonwood Road, which has traffic lights. In addition, the distance along Durston Roadbetween the proposed Fowler intersection and Ferguson Avenue would only be about .50
miles. Why do we need two large intersections only half a mile apart along DurstonRoad, especially considering that the area is zoned 100% residential?
Also, if this project is implemented, we all lose a beautiful green space in our town. On thenorth side of Durston Road, the proposed construction area goes through a field that has a
creek and beautiful trees. This area is a habitat for many creatures such as pheasants, owls, anddeer. On the south side of Durston, putting a larger road through would also take away a
walking path along a creek that also has large trees. Have the landowners directly affectedby the Fowler Project agreed to the use of their properties for this project?
These are serious concerns shared by many people who will be directly impacted by theFowler project. Thank you for your consideration of my comments.
Respectfully,
Colleen Messina
