Miller Avenue Plans Will Potentially Effect Evergreen Avenue and Planned Sidewalk

Hello County Representatives and Homestead Residents,

The new Miller Avenue Plan will potentially effect the Evergreen
Avenue Sidewalk Plans in the following way:

The Miller Avenue Plan calls for a "No Left Turn" at the current
intersection which is used regularly by Homestead residents and
visitors to commonly access via Evergreen Avenue to the Downtown and
other areas heading west on Miller.

With this change made to Miller Avenue at Evergreen Avenue, it would
change the flow of traffic, causing increase in traffic from Evergreen
Avenue's start at Miller (which would be turning left to Miller), now
redirected to Linden Lane to Montford, making the intersection of
Evergreen Avenue and Linden Lane nearly doubled in traffic volume at
this intersection as the new common route to westbound up Miller..

With the addition of the planned sidewalk to be constructed on
Evergreen Avenue, would narrow the turning radius even more than
currently existing at this intersection.

In some circumstances depending on the location of calls, emergency
response vehicles and other large commercial vehicles would be forced
to use the substandardly narrow Linden Lane, with the proposed reduced
in width turn at this intersection at Evergreen Avenue to accomodate
the new sidewalk.

Evergreen Avenue is currently the prefered route to Miller Avenue from
Evergreen Avenue and currently one of the main thoroughfares serving
as a common route to the majority of the valley area.
