In its present state, Stucky is outright dangerous to the current neighborhood, with no shoulder, no bike lane, frequent wildlife encounters (I personally saw two deer killed at our entryintersection last winter), and no street lights. With the ongoing development at Gran Cielo, and withthe ongoing development project at 19th and Stucky, Stucky has become a major East/Westthoroughfare south of 191. Currently, the intersection at Stucky and Goldeneye Dr is the main accesspoint for the Gran Cielo neighborhood. It does not have street lights, there is a terrible pot hole, andcars come from both directions so fast that it can be challenging to exit the neighborhood. Animalsare dying, accidents will increase, and if a cyclist hasn't already died, it's only a matter of time. > > Gran Cielo has more development already approved. The existing infrastructure can't keep up with what's there, let alone what's being built. Please don't compound the problem by authorizingadditional development next door without first making meaningful improvements to Stucky. > > Please don't let this proposed development become a "cart before horse" situation.
