Dear Tom (Biesiadny, Chief, FCDOT):
Trust all is well your way.
In
several of our recent meetings the "Road from Nowhere" has come up. We
have asked who decided to draw the road on a map buried in the appendix
of the then draft Master Plan, why this wasn't presented to the
community and justified before it was added, and how such a road could
be proposed that impinges on designated open space. We haven't yet
gotten answers to any of these questions, but we have been told this is
just a "conceptual" road and thus we shouldn't worry about it.
It
would be helpful, however, to understand exactly what this "concept"
would look like in reality. If you or your staff could provide the
following information it would be most appreciated.
Is this conceived as a two lane or four lane road?
What
is the distance between the edges of either road, including curbs,
gutters, set backs, bike paths and a sidewalk on at least one side?
How
will the road compensate for the large discrepancy between the level of
the ground along the conceptual road and level of the road at American
Dream Way?
Who owns all the land the road will traverse?
Why
is the County unable to identify who drew the road on the map in the
first place? Is it common for the County to be unable to say how or why
official documents are drafted and approved?
An
alternative to all of the above would be to simply remove the Road from
Nowhere from all maps and planning documents. Easier and better for
everyone.
Very best regards, Dennis
