Re: DEIR Comments for the Proposed Canyon Springs Development
Dear Denyelle,
The following are issues /concerns regarding the DEIR for the Canyon Springs project:
1) The DEIR does not address the intersection traffic flow and most importantly the
safety aspect at the intersections of Olympic Boulevard /Glenshire Drive and Highland
Avenue /Glenshire Drive (in and out of Olympic Heights) as a result of the significant
increase in traffic from the proposed Canyon Springs development.
2) While traffic in and out of Olympic Heights may not increase, the additional traffic
generated from the proposed Canyon Springs project will significantly impact the
Olympic Heights residents /visitors coming to and from the subdivision. Don't wait for
a fatal accident to occur to determine that a "mitigation measure" should have been
implemented.
3) The costs of the traffic and safety studies regarding these intersections, and any
corresponding mitigation expenses, should be borne upon the Canyon Springs
developer, and not the taxpayer (or via the Town) and be completed prior to project
work commencing.
Thank you.
