Dangerous Location

Dangerous ingress and egress

Dangerous ingress and egress
  • Ingress and egress is on a parkway with a speed limit of 50+ mph.
  • Heading West to East on Southwest Parkway, there is a curve in the roadway and outcrop that limits visibility to the proposed developmentā€™s ingress and egress resulting in a significant vehicular safety concern.
  • Proposed ingress and egress for the development has grades more than 15% on the topographical map, which will impact visibility.

A road safety assessment of the proposed ingress and egress of the development should be conducted

  • Because of the grades, an environmental variance is very likely required for significant cut-and-fill.
  • Proposed emergency vehicle exit on Sunset Ridge Road may also require cut-and-fill.

An assessment as to the environmental impact of required cut-and-fill activities should be conducted, including an assessment of potential roadway infrastructure requirements for the developer

Dangerous access to bus stop

The shortest distance between the proposed development and the closest bus stop (located at the intersection of Silvermine Road and Highway 71) is a 29-minute walk (1.4 miles). The route has no sidewalks on roads with very limited shoulders making it extremely hazardous and a personal safety risk to walk.
