Dear Town Council,
I am not able to be at the meeting this evening and wanted to weigh in on adding residential housing to light
commercial at the end of Nottingham & Metcalf Roads.
These two roads are true "choke points" in the Town of Avon. Any time there is construction, mud slides or
fires at any point on these roads it creates havoc for all of us who live here. All of these events have happened
repeatedly and have necessitated long detours over days and weeks. To add 250 residential units will create
daily traffic problems both during and, especially, after construction.
There are safer and more logical places to add housing, such as the Village at Avon. It has great public
transportation access, easy access to shopping, school bus, etc. which the proposed area does NOT have, and
is crucial for an area adding homes.
Thank you for your time,
Valerie Watts
