In a recent government meeting, board members discussed significant concerns regarding traffic management and development proposals in the area, particularly focusing on the intersection of two newly constructed buildings and their impact on local traffic flow.
The conversation began with a board member expressing frustration over the lack of clear directional signage at the intersection, suggesting that it might be better to avoid using directional indicators altogether. The member proposed that the two buildings, which were not constructed simultaneously, could benefit from a shared driveway and improved green space to alleviate traffic congestion. There was a consensus that further evaluation of the traffic report was necessary, particularly regarding the hours of operation for the new facilities and their potential overlap with local schools.
Another key topic was the proposed development on Bunker Road, where a representative outlined plans for a storage facility that includes vehicle impound areas and contractor storage boxes. The board raised questions about the nature of materials being stored, emphasizing the need for regulations to prevent the storage of hazardous substances. Concerns were also voiced regarding the adequacy of fire safety measures, particularly in light of the existing infrastructure and the potential for increased traffic due to the new facility.
The board members agreed on the importance of obtaining more detailed information before making any decisions, including the need for a comprehensive traffic study and consultations with the fire department regarding safety protocols. The meeting concluded with a motion to continue discussions at the next meeting, reflecting a commitment to thorough evaluation and community safety.
