Traffic Concerns
LDC 6.2.4: "When the intersected street is an arterial, the distance between intersecting streets shall be at least 1,000 feet."
US60 is an arterial road. Johnson Rd and Rockcrest Way are 1,068' apart. The LDC states no additional intersections are permitted. Pulling out of either of these roads onto US60 is already a life threatening experience as drivers wait for a 3-5 second window just get onto US60.
The most recent Traffic Impact Study (TIS) states there will be nearly 1,600 vehicles traveling westbound in the morning to Johnson Rd! That's 27 vehicles every minute, basically 1 every 2 seconds. Add the 100 vehicles crossing US60 northbound or the 350 cars trying to get off Johnson Rd and US60/Johnson Rd has become a dead end street.
Clearly creating an illegal intersection!
Definitely not designed for Eastwood or the Floyds Fork watershed
Designed for a city, not a village.
