Dear Associate Planner Denyelle Nishimori:
My family and I live in a residence located on Glenshire Drive, near the intersection of Glenshire Drive
and The Strand. While I don’t have specific data, I would guess that approximately one-half of the
Glenshire/Devonshire/Cambridge Estates/The Meadows/Juniper Hills vehicular traffic traveling to and
from town passes by my home each day. This number increases when drivers from Reno chose to
avoid the agriculture inspection station on highway 80—especially noticeable on snow days.
The speed limit along Glenshire Drive in front of my home is 30mph, which is rarely adhered to. It is
my opinion that even with the current traffic load(s) on Glenshire Drive, traffic is often high and
dangerous for pedestrians, homeowners, and bicyclists. I and my family must take extreme care
during snow-removal days at the foot of our driveway because of the heavy and fast-moving traffic.
One quarter of a mile from my home, towards town, near the Glenshire Store, the traffic load
essentially doubles where all traffic from the Glenshire area merges.
It is my understanding that the additional 204 units proposed in the Canyon Springs Development
would also use this already well-used portion of Glenshire Drive. I do not believe the Canyon Springs
Development should move forward until a comprehensive and realistic plan is formulated to provide for
an alternative travel route accessing this development other than Glenshire Drive.
Respectfully Yours,
Michael Ketron
