Tylene Elliott [email protected] Dear Mr. Howell, Email 8/17/2017 None On the Town Council Audio of August 8, 2017, you proposed adding an extension to Crabtree Crossing Parkway to connect it to Town Hall Drive. This extremely expensive potential roadway extension would render Crabtree Crossing Parkway, a residential street in Preston, as an on/off ramp for highway traffic of the Triangle Expressway after Triangle Expressway’s connection to Town Hall Drive, currently expected in 1-5 years. The Crabtree Crossing Extension was thoroughly evaluated when the Transportation Plan 2009-2035 was approved and it was determined that it should not be included. The reasons and the analysis are evermore valid today and I urge the Planning Department and the Town Council to review the work and citizen input from this timeframe. I urge the Planning Department to terminate its proposal to include a Crabtree Crossing Extension in the developing Transportation Plan and I urge the Town Council NOT to entertain approving the addition of this road extension into the current plan. Thank you, Tylene Elliott Morrisville Resident 2. Becky Davis [email protected] Hello, Email 8/20/2017 None Per Satish's email below. I am not able to make the transportation meeting Tuesday night but I would like to express my opinion that I do NOT want the connection of Millicent Road to Little Drive. I live on Willingham Rd right next to this intersection and do not want the increased traffic in front of my house. My children play in the front yard and driveway and I do not want all that extra traffic right in front for safety issues as well as it making a traffic problem getting in and out of driveways for the houses right near it. Part of the reason we purchased our home in this location was for the safety of being on a road that was not near an intersection. The Louis Stephens connection offers enough of an alternate path for residents to get out to 55 that way, we do not need to make both Millicent and Willingham more congested and dangerous with more traffic as another option. I would like to see a greenway connection from this location to the new school as a way for children and parents to walk back and forth to the school but not a roadway. Thank you, Becky Davis 3. Kenneth Anderson [email protected] Dear Town of Morrisville officials: Email 8/20/17 None I am writing to express my concern over a roadway connection being put in the Breckenridge neighborhood joining Millicent and Little Road. I am gravely troubled by the additional traffic this will create in a neighborhood street setting with numerous young children and several parked cars on the road sides. We also still struggle with a long standing issue of speeding cars in the neighborhood, despite the efforts of many to alleviate the safety issue, and this will surely exacerbate the issue. Additionally, Breckenridge residents are already dealing with numerous home break-ins where access roads behind homes are making for easy get-a-ways. Adding this roadway 1 | Page Through 7AM 3 /1/2018 Public Comment Method Date Staff Response Name Address Email address Comment Comment Comment Received Received connection would create an ideal access and exit point for criminals to target several more homes in the neighborhood and I fear a dramatic rise of home break-ins will occur. If anything different must be done with the available space connecting Millicent and Little road, I strongly suggest it be limited to adding a greenway / bike path. Given the expectation that several children will be attending the new school being built between Parkside and Little Rd, a greenway path would provide safe and easy walking and bicycle passage to the school while having the additional positive impact of dramatically lowering the amount of car traffic to the school. As a father to three young children living and playing on Willingham, close to the proposed Millicent – Little connector, I am very much against this proposed roadway connector. As a regular voter and active volunteer in the community, specifically Morrisville Parks & Rec, I hope that you will hear my voice and act accordingly. Very best regards, Kenneth Andersen 4. Vasanth Alle [email protected] Hello, Email 8/21/17 None I oppose the opening of the roadway from Millicent Way to Little Rd. This stand is owing - to safety and security concerns to residents - to children who play around their homes - diminishing of home values due to increased traffic. There already has been an increase in thefts in Morrisville and this opening of the road would further deteriorate the situation. Regards, Sent from Alle’s MBP Vasanth Alle [email protected] 5. Jennifer Andersen 105 Cypress Mill Road [email protected] Dear Town of Morrisville, Email 8/21/17 None As a Breckenridge resident, regular voter, and mom of 3, I'd like to take a moment to address the recent transportation issue of connecting Millicent and Little Roads. I am strongly against connecting these two roads. The amount of speeding traffic we have on Willingham continues to be an issue for us and I feel adding this connector will only worsen those issues. I live approximately 3 houses down from where this connector would be and I can't stress enough how dangerous this could be for the 50+ children that live in this small section of our neighborhood alone. Our current bus stop is also at this same location and having a thoroughfare here is dangerous for the 10 to 15 children that get on off the buses every day. In addition to the traffic issue, we have had a recent string of break-ins in the neighborhood. Specifically near areas where exiting the neighborhood is easier. Creating another easy exit point out of our neighborhood is simply creating an invitation for more burglaries. I am however in favor of adding a greenway from the Millicent area and running it along the buffer to the new school. This will give walkers from this section of the neighborhood an easier trek to school and decrease the amount of cars in the carpool line. Please 2 | Page Through 7AM 3 /1/2018 Public Comment Method Date Staff Response Name Address Email address Comment Comment Comment Received Received take my points to heart and take the Millicent/Little Rd connection off the transportation plan. Thanks very much! Jennifer Andersen 105 Cypress Mill Rd, Morrisville 6. Sunil Battula [email protected] Hello TOM Planning team, Email 8/21/17 None I don't think i have the same opinion as the town planning officers (Transportation plans) regarding the Millicent to Little Rd intersection due to the following reasons. 1) It creates safety issue to the residents of Breckenridge and will lead to accidents in the neighborhood. 2) I believe existing road connections to enter the Breckenridge are more than enough. i) Parkside valley Dr, ii)Redwood Park Drive iii) Gray Marble Rd. 3) I think Louis Stephens Drive will be ready by the end of 2019 which adds one more connectivity to Breckenridge. 4) We have seen increase in robberies in Breckenridge community for the past few months, and two weeks back another robbery happened, increase in traffic with more connectivity may lead to security issues. I hope the TOM will reconsider and change the Plan accordingly. Regards Sunil Battula. 7. Prakash Bhave [email protected] Dear Town of Morrisville transportation planners, Email 8/21/17 None My wife and I have a house on Willingham Road and we are opposed to the plan of adding a road link between Little Drive and Willingham. We favor increased connectivity for bicycles and pedestrians, but not for motor vehicles. Please consider changing the plan to a Greenway connection instead of a roadway link. I agree with many others in the neighborhood that the entry ways from Davis Dr. and Louis Stephens provide sufficient access to the park as well as the future elementary school. Adding a connection between Willingham and Little Dr. will unnecessarily increase traffic through a purely residential area. Thank you for taking the time to log our concern. Regards, Prakash & Nita Bhave 8. Kevin and Diana 104 Cypress Mill Road [email protected] Ben, Allison, & Kristina, Email 8/21/17 None Brown Satish Garimella gave me your contact information. I am writing in regards to the Town of Morrisville transportation plans for road improvements and green way connections. In regards to the proposal of the Millicent Way extension from Breckenridge subdivision to Little Drive, I am for this extension. I would offer my opinion at the upcoming Transportation Plan Open House, 5:30 - 6:30 pm, on August 22, 2017 at Town Hall but I am unable to attend. I am a Breckenridge subdivision resident. My address is 104 Cypress Mill Rd and I am the parent of two children (ages 5 & 6). There has been concern from other residents that there would be an increase in 3 | Page Through 7AM 3 /1/2018 Public Comment Method Date Staff Response Name Address Email address Comment Comment Comment Received Received through traffic in Breckenridge. I am in disagreement as no one would willingly want to drive over the 4+ speed tables just to cut through Breckenridge. Additionally I believe it is unclear that such a connection would negatively impact property values. I also think adding an additional egress from Breckenridge subdivision will be beneficial for the residents.
