Neighbors press developer on truck routing and tight intersection; developer pledges traffic plan and road-use agreement

One resident described narrow geometry and existing pavement damage and asked whether the developer had evaluated turning radii, culvert widths and the potential need for culvert extension or an apron to keep semitrailers off shoulders.
