Hello-
I am reaching out to you regarding a planning proposal to open Titanium Avenue off
Victory and Eagle. My parents reside in the senior living community on the corner of
Eagle and Victory called The Pointe. They would be directly impacted as well as the
other residents by opening this street and making it a throughfare.
My parents live in the cottages for independent living. They use the main facilities and
must cross Titanium Avenue at least three times a day. That is the same case for all the
residents of the cottages. Because it is a retirement community you have many people
using walkers and canes to assist in getting to the building. My siblings and I are
concerned that opening Titanium Avenue would create a constant flow of traffic that
raises concerns for their safety.

My dad is 87 and my mom is 82 and it was a very hard process and emotionally tough
to move my parents from living in their house to a retirement community. The main
driving factor was to move them to a place where they would be safe and have all the
services they needed to remain as independent as possible. In our search we found that
The Pointe was tucked into its own community which offered us comfort that they would
be safe.
I hope you will consider the community and the average age of the residents that would
be put in possible harm’s way if Titanium Avenue opens to the North. I appreciate any
consideration you can give to keeping the road closed as it is now.
Thank you,
Jamie McCormick – 208-870-0230
On behalf of my siblings Mollie Holt, Dan Hogan and Sean Hogan
