Kwik Trip conditional use permit

Asked for a strong no or a conditional yes, worried about fast cut-through traffic on family-friendly streets; suggested conditioning approval on completing Wright Road.

Returned to finish his earlier remarks, describing surveying for apartments behind his house and pressing again for the Wright Road connection to keep traffic out of the neighborhood.

Argued residents are being asked to accept the highest-traffic use now while waiting a decade for supporting roads; asked for a frontage-road access alternative.

Said the development adds shortcut traffic past school bus stops and called the Highway 26/McCormick intersection the city's most dangerous; supports the project only if McCormick and Wright Road are connected.

A civil engineer by training, he called the project the cart before the horse and worried about accidents, safety and property values.

Worried the project will take away the quiet, walkable retiree neighborhood character.

Described years of speeding, hit mailboxes and heavy trucks on Huntinghorne Drive, urging the commission to act on traffic.

Not opposed to Kwik Trip but worried about her nine-year-old crossing for the school bus with added traffic and no sidewalks.

Likes Kwik Trip but wants the commission to slow down and plan the area's long-term development and infrastructure more holistically.
