Written Comments for 298 Island Highway Agenda Item

Dear Mayor and Council Members,
When considering this project please consider the traffic safety impacts for the intersection of Island Highway and Helmcken. I walk my son to school each day and feel like our safety is being further and further jeopardized by increased cars using this route as a cut-through and dangerous driving. With the advance turning light cars constantly blow through after the pedestrian signal has turned on. This is a major route to school and I already don't feel safe taking this route and worry what additional cars coming in and out of this new property development will look like. Please consider the young students that pass this way each and every day to school and how you can do a better job to keep them safe. I have concerns about the intersection generally and would appreciate a follow-up to discuss further.
Kind regards, Monique Booth 310 View Royal Ave
