City Council Members,
Re: Black Rock Subdivision on Eagle Road between Amity and Lake Hazel
I am not opposed to the Black Rock Subdivision, what I am opposed to is the traffic that will be generated and the
lack of infrastructure ready for it.
This weekend PAL Soccer (on Lake Hazel between Eagle and Cloverdale) is having a tournament and Eagle
Road is backed up at Victory, Amity and Lake Hazel. Traffic is backed up more than a half of a mile right now and
I have seen it backed up for 3/4 of a mile. I am imagining that this traffic will only be a small showing compared
to having 800 (plus or minus) homes added to the Eagle Road traffic on a daily basis. I have heard that the
developer is going to help fund the traffic light at Victory and Eagle Road. And yes, this will help, but the true
problem is going to be at Eagle Road and Amity. Almost all of the traffic from the Black Rock Subdivision will be
using Eagle Road, even if they do travel north to the Amity exit, they will turn to Eagle Road to reach the freeway,
Boise, a hospital, etc.
We also have an LDS church now under construction at Eagle Road and Lake Hazel which will also add to our
traffic problems in the near future.
Again, I am not opposed to the subdivision, what I am opposed to is the traffic and lack of infrastructure to support
it. I would like to have the subdivision denied until the roads can accommodate the additional traffic. I would also
like to see a lower density housing level to decrease the traffic.
Sincerely.
