MTP Amendment -- Kirkwood Extension
Questions and Concerns Raised:
• What happens at Kimball (light?, turn lanes?, etc,)
• When Aventerra was zoned there was an agreement to restrict access points. , .Haw will the new
road impact the Agreement? Was this agreement binding?
• Why bring this road by the schools? (Shown on the exhibit prepared by staff)
• Why not move forward with the Dove Rd, Expansion instead?
• Why not expand north - south roads for access to 1 l4?
• Why wasn't the traffic for the new Haltom Creek (or the name currently proposed) subdivision
considered in this same manner — i,.e,, at build -out?
• What about the planned Aventerna north - south road accessing 114? They will develop the
roads as they build each phase_ right?
• What about the people who bought in this area ---will their interests be considered?
• How do we ensure our desires for the road lay -out are implemented? Specifically, not to run it
by the schools and not to expand it to 5 lanes,
• What are the alternatives for going around schools?
• Who's plan is this? Who created this plan?
• Carroll intersection is a concern,
• Make sure the "solution" does not landlock the residents_
• Keep road away from residential as much as possible.
• Concern with the impact of the road on the adjacent property values.
• Has the Aventerra developer seen the plan? Were they involved?
• 20,000 employees —has Dart been contacted?
• Solve some concerns —take load of off Highland.
• Dove expansion —tax payer funded?
• Aventerra's plan came first then the road plan?
• Will this plan keep Dove Rd. from being a 5 lane road? Specifically, how about downgrading
the Dove Rd, MTP plan from 5 to .3 lanes at the same time? (Make it a policy too.)
