During a recent government meeting, community concerns regarding safety and infrastructure were prominently discussed, particularly focusing on Davis Road and its surrounding areas. Residents expressed alarm over the increasing speed of vehicles on Davis Road, where drivers reportedly reach speeds of 60 miles per hour. This has raised fears for the safety of local equestrians, as the area is frequented by children riding horses, especially near Clarksburg Trail.
One resident highlighted the urgent need for traffic mitigation measures, warning that without intervention, the risk of accidents could escalate, potentially leading to serious injuries or fatalities. The presence of a nearby ranch further complicates the situation, as horses regularly cross the road, increasing the likelihood of dangerous encounters with speeding vehicles.
Additionally, concerns were raised about the impact of dewatering activities in the area, which have reportedly led to homeowners losing access to their wells. This issue has compounded the frustrations of residents, who feel that they are bearing the financial burden of these losses without adequate support or solutions from local authorities.
The meeting underscored the community's call for immediate action to address both the safety hazards on Davis Road and the ongoing water supply issues, reflecting a growing urgency among residents for effective governmental response.
