Hello Nicolas,

My husband Rob and I strongly oppose the proposal to open up Coho street to highway 211.

Reasons why are

1. There are children in this quiet neighborhood that play in the streets. Opening the street up to the highway would create a constant flow of traffic through the neighborhood with people using the neighborhood to cut through to the fairgrounds or getting around slower moving vehicles on highway 211.

This will make it unsafe for the children in the neighborhood. Drivers today seem to be in a hurry constantly and will enter into our neighborhood off of the highway too fast and endanger the children in this neighborhood.

2. Any time there is an event at the fairgrounds people coming off of highway 211 will use Coho street into our neighborhood to cut through to try to avoid waiting at the turn on Shirley street. Which will create a backup of cars all through our neighborhood once they get up to Shirley street and no-one will let them cut into the already

long line. We won’t be able to get out of our own driveways.

3. When Rob and I and I am sure others who have bought a home in this neighborhood knew this to be a finished enclosed quiet neighborhood. Something people consider when deciding to purchase a home, especially when you have children or even grandchildren who visit often. We realize that there most likely would eventually be development around us.

But not into our neighborhood. Opening Coho street up to the new development makes it a part of our neighborhood.

4. Opening Coho up will allow highway noise into the neighborhood. The way the neighborhood is built now it is secluded from the highway and very quiet.

Please take this into consideration and deny opening up Coho street. It really isn’t fair to the current residents here. The builder can put his homes on his property in a manner to accommodate entering and exiting without intruding into our neighborhood.

Thank you so much
