During a recent government meeting, officials discussed traffic concerns and safety measures related to the ongoing development project on Coral Hills Drive. Key topics included traffic patterns, school bus stops, and potential enhancements to traffic calming measures.

The meeting highlighted the importance of understanding traffic flow, particularly regarding how many vehicles are turning at various driveways along Coral Hills. One official raised concerns about school bus pickups and drop-offs during peak hours, questioning whether buses stop near the signalized intersection. While the exact status of bus stops was unclear, officials agreed to investigate the matter further.

A significant point of discussion was the location of the entryway for the new development. Officials confirmed that moving the entryway closer to Sample Road was not advisable due to state regulations governing the distance of driveways from major roadways. However, they expressed willingness to explore adjustments if necessary, particularly concerning school bus stops.

Vice Mayor raised concerns about traffic calming on Coral Hills, noting that the road is classified as a collector road. He suggested implementing speed limit signs that display real-time vehicle speeds, similar to those used in other cities, to deter speeding. The discussion also touched on the potential for restricting certain turns at the new development's exit to mitigate cut-through traffic and enhance safety.

The conversation further delved into the safety of the intersection at Coral Hills and Sample Road, with officials acknowledging that the current traffic light poses challenges for drivers. There was a consensus that modifications to the traffic signal might be necessary to improve safety, regardless of the new development.

Overall, the meeting underscored the need for ongoing analysis of traffic conditions and the implementation of safety measures to address community concerns as the project progresses.
