Dear Sir/Madam,
In response to the Burnside/Helmcken proposal, we are against it. We feel that this is just too much for the area. Buildings are going to be too high. There will be too many cars in our area.
As it is now, traffic on Burnside can be dangerous. Not only have we almost been hit by speeding cars as we try to turn onto Burnside from Eaton, turn onto Eaton from Burnside, but we have seen fellow neighbours almost get hit by people driving much too fast around the bend on Burnside. The 30 kph speed restriction has never been met and now there are even more cars, more fast driving, more of us taking chances on trying to get to/from home.
With even heavier traffic flow on Helmcken now, turning south from Burnside onto Helmcken is very difficult.
This once country road is now becoming a main thoroughfare.
This area is just too dense and small for what your proposal is wanting.
Sincerely,
“The Hoyle Family”
