The Geneva Planning & Zoning Commission meeting on January 9, 2025, featured significant public concern regarding traffic issues on Peck Road. A resident, representing his father, Anton Perkhart, who resides at 1 N 533 Peck Road, expressed frustration over the increasing speed and volume of traffic in the area.
The speaker highlighted that Peck Road has transformed into a thoroughfare for fast-moving vehicles, likening it to a drag racing strip. He noted that this change has occurred over the past 50 years, with drivers opting for Peck Road as an alternative to Randall Road. The resident emphasized the safety risks posed by this situation, particularly for those living along the road.
This testimony underscores ongoing community concerns about traffic management and safety in residential areas. The commission's response to these issues will be crucial in determining future planning and zoning decisions that could address these growing concerns.
