None of the access roads can handle the added traffic
They should make the developer upgrade the St. Francis DeSales parking lot as a condition of granting approval. That would be a nice charitable contribution to the church.
326 acres of what was deamed wet lands now all the sudden is being developed. Are they draining the wet lands? Who is allowing this to happen. We as a community need to stand up and fight against this destruction of this land.
It’s not deemed a wetland
County changed the law defining wetlands and now there are no longer wetlands on those parcels.
I have lived on Red Maple Drive. since 1977.. Saw the interchange at I-95 and Rt-24 upgraded times and they still did not get it correctly. If any chemicals at Edgewood Arsenal would explode or leak we would never be able to leave the area, we would be dead
The high volume of tractor trailer traffic will come from 95, half from each, north and southbound. Standard length of tractor trailer is 53 feet. Distance from end of 95 northbound ramp toward Rt 24 to the left turn lane at the stoplight at Van Bibber is 500 feet. Rigs will have less than 6 rig lengths to cross 3 lanes of traffic, less if there are other vehicles waiting in the turn lane, which is customary, bringing available distance down to 250 feet to fully cross Rt 24. What does SHA say about this?
You’re just going to have to deal with trattoria congestion. I know a lot of people on this county can’t stop in their cars for 5 fucking minutes but hey, oh well.
