Good morning, Mayor Simison
I am reaching out to ask you to vote against allowing rezoning of the areas at Victory and Locust grove.
Traffic in this area is already a nightmare, if the zoning changes and high-density housing is allowed it will only add to the
problem. I write as a concerned citizen and a mother. My son is getting his drivers license in a few weeks and I am
concerned with the dangers we are already facing getting out of our neighborhood and the amount of traffic we face at
busy times of the day. In order to get out of the neighborhoods you have to get across Locust Grove quickly, in
between small traffic gaps and I fear this puts teenage drivers at even more risk of accidents. Not only will high-
density housing add to this danger but, the insane amount of neighborhoods already going in at Locust Grove and Lake
Hazle. Where do you think all those people are going to drive.... Locust Grove. The current infrastructure cannot handle
all these drivers safely.
I beg you, please do not allow high-density housing anywhere near Locust Grove and Victory
Sincerely,
Deb Banning
