In a recent government meeting, community concerns regarding traffic management and noise disturbances were at the forefront as local resident Mr. Oliver presented his proposal for an event venue on his property. Mr. Oliver outlined changes to his operational plan, including adjusting event start times to noon and ceasing music by 9 PM. He emphasized his intent to control traffic flow by limiting the number of vehicles entering his property at any given time, stating he could accommodate 25 cars while conducting searches for security purposes.

However, the proposal faced significant pushback from neighboring residents who expressed fears about the narrowness of the access road, which they described as only 12 feet wide. Residents voiced concerns that the influx of vehicles, particularly larger trucks and trailers, would obstruct emergency access and create hazardous conditions on the road. Dorothy Richards, a local resident, highlighted that the road's width poses a serious risk, especially in emergencies, as it would be difficult for emergency vehicles to navigate.

Further complicating matters, residents noted that Mr. Oliver had not engaged in discussions with them since the last meeting, where attempts to reach an agreement had faltered. Neighbors like Theresa Brooks and Percy Richard reiterated the challenges posed by the current road conditions, emphasizing that the residential area was not designed for commercial traffic.

The meeting concluded with a call for further evaluation of the traffic implications of Mr. Oliver's proposal, as community members remained skeptical about the feasibility of his traffic management plan. The city council is expected to review the concerns raised and consider the potential impact on the neighborhood before making a decision on the proposal.
