During a recent government meeting, a resident raised concerns regarding a proposed gas station and convenience store, specifically its potential impact on traffic along Mill Road. The resident emphasized that Mill Road serves as a primary route for several nearby subdivisions and is already prone to congestion.

The speaker noted that while the development plans include a left turn lane for eastbound traffic entering the facility, there are no provisions for westbound traffic, which could exacerbate existing traffic issues. He urged the board to consider adding right turn lanes into the gas station and onto Orchard to alleviate potential backups, particularly during peak hours.

The public forum concluded with no additional comments from attendees, leading the meeting to transition into staff reports. The discussion highlighted community concerns about infrastructure and traffic management in light of new developments, underscoring the importance of considering local traffic patterns in planning decisions.
