Dear Ms. Kaufmann, This email is in regards to the upcoming expansion of Dalron homes in and around Forestdale Dr and Montrose Ave. Specifically…
Is this the "quality neighbourhood that everybody will enjoy" as Ron Arnold of Dalron Construction said was the goal, in an interview with Sudbury.com
SEE the current Plans up close. It sure doesn't look like the same community that was being referenced in that article.
It was presented to the community, it was voted on by the community, it was promised to the community. It was the goal for the community.
Patch took some creative liberties writing this one, but this one's got a lot to say.
There is very serious message that no one at the City, Staff, Council or the Developer is going to want to be responsibility for. See Chris B's Letter also calls it out.
Yeah... it's a big issue and a major hazard.
Clearly one of the biggest problems with the current plan is
THE MAJOR HAZARDS with come with that connection to FORESTDALE Drive
But there is a solution. And it's pretty neat.. A unique new Cul de Sac design (that City Plows can maneuver) and it has a small fire-access road, that doesn't allow through way traffic, but is a connection and a community pathway to the new subdivision below.
Forestdale Drive was not designed to be a connector roadway. It is a narrow, sloping roadway with no sidewalks, and lot's of families and kids, walking up and down. In the winter the snowbanks a high, visibility is reduced and the roadway is even more narrow. It is an extra precarious drive in the wintertime.
It is a major safety concern and should be noted as a major flaw in the Dalron Plan of subdivision, being proposed.
