We
are
writing this letter to express our opposition to
the
proposed development called Canyon Springs.
with the
We
live
on Glenshire Drive close to the Hirshdale area
and
have experienced firsthand what happens to
the traffic on Glenshire Drive when there is any type of incident on Interstate 80 east or west bound.
Even a minor incident makes a negative impact on Glenshire Drive. We have lived on Glenshire Drive
prior to the current agricultural inspection station being built and have noticed an increase in vehicles
towing boats who cut through Glenshire to in order to avoid the agricultural inspection station. The
vehicles traveling to and from Burning Man also cut through Glenshire in order to avoid the agricultural
inspection station. Add in the traffic from Glenshire elementary school, winter storms, road repairs and
narrow lanes often with no shoulder each making an impact on one heavily traveled road. These are
only a few examples of the traffic stress Glenshire Drive faces. We lived on Glenshire Drive during the
Martis Fire and while we have a personal evacuation plan for our family, we cannot evacuate without
traveling on some part of
Glenshire
Drive. Glenshire Drive
simply cannot handle an emergency
evacuation now, let alone
with the
increase in population
Canyon Springs will bring.
Glenshire Drive is on borrowed time and cannot safely handle an emergency evacuation in its current
state nor can it handle the increase in traffic due to incidents on Interstate 80. Canyon Springs is not
sustainable with the current road infrastructure. Please do not approve this development.
Sincerely,
