Fernside design needs further study
To the Editor:
Regarding your long-term design concept for Fernside between High Street and Eastshore, take a look at the impact this will have on property owners in that area. The area between Fernside and High Street is already several feet narrower than other areas of Fernside. With the planned two-way bikeway near the curb, then parked cars on Fernside, it would be a serious safety issue for any property owner that needs to back out of their driveway. I would encourage you to take a drive down Fernside on Tuesday when all the ACI containers are in the street. It would be very difficult for Harbor Bay residents or anyone else driving down Fernside. Why the raised islands near Eastshore and Fernside? Where are the much-needed flashing yellow lights? There is no need to sign off on this design until there is further study.
Thank you for your consideration.
