It's all neighborhood behind it, and they don't want people gaming the back routes through the hood to sheets.

I don't get the anger towards it. I mean, some will love it, some will hate it.

For me, there is a lil jump I get to take on the motorcycle right there that goes away. I also think that will change the businesses there, more to support the in and out of the gas station,

The only thing that would piss me off would be as a tenant, that you are bringing in a quick food place when I am selling restaurant. There are a few in that shopping center.

This is frustrating to me. There are ways to resolve these issues. The fact that they don't happen makes me very skeptical of neighborhood concerns about it.

Closing the little gap next to the McDonald's on Old Westham should be sufficient without meaningful inconvenience for the homes there. There are more things you could do based on how much residents actually care about traffic.

I agree! I think there is some resentment too because forest hill is not 45-50mph right up to that. Not posted speed but actuals.

That's a widespread problem in the US. We like to put shops and houses right next to roads where cars are trying to go fast.

I'm reminded of this problem with some elementary school; I don't recall which. The issues was cars would cut through the road in front of the school while driving fast. This is dangerous.

I looked at the map and... they can just make that road a dead end. Problem solved. Makes me so mad.

What back roads could they possibly be taking?

Are people going to take Cherokee via Huguenot?

Yes, I did it five days a week for six years. People haul ass down Hathaway and Cherokee, and I imagine that would become a far bigger problem if this thing is built.

When there was construction people would follow the river, turning just west of willow oaks and driving through there to either Huguenot or back over to forest hill.

People already fly through cherokee, and it has that lil side road connecting it to hathaway.
