Hi Linda,

Bill Renke suggested that send along my testimony from the public hearing
on the Riverside development on Tuesday night.

Testimony (as best I can remember):

My name is Jack Green and I live at 25 Asheville Road.

Currently there is no stop sign at the corner of Asheville and Grove, but
there is an implied stop.  I have a 2 year old son and with the proposed
roundabout, there will be no stop and cars will travel past my house
without slowing down or stopping before entering Grove St.

I wonder if a small residential road feeding into a roundabout where the
other connections to the roundabout are a road the size of Grove and a
highway offramp are consistent with best practices for roundabouts.

While the roundabout has been moved incrementally south, it is still very
close to Asheville Road and it is deeply concerning to me.  Unless the
roundabout can be pushed significantly to the south, I propose that
Asheville Road be closed off at Grove and turned into a dead end.

Thank you.

Not mentioned in my remarks at the public hearing but worth adding is that
several times a day cars will turn down Asheville and turn around, either
at the corner of Asheville and Hallron or in my driveway, or Harold Knott's
driveway across the street.  It is not uncommon for those same cars to stop
in front of my house while they look at a map and try to figure out where
they ought to be going.
