Residents oppose proposed connection between Newcastle Road and Fox Harbor, citing traffic and safety
Summary
An HOA president urged council to stop plans to connect Newcastle Road to Fox Harbor, arguing the change would increase through traffic, raise safety concerns for children and lower property values; council did not take action at the meeting.
At the April 21 Troy City Council meeting, Brandon Meyer, HOA president for the Reserves at Washington neighborhood, urged the council to decline a proposed connection of Newcastle Road to the Fox Harbor neighborhood.
Meyer said the neighborhood was designed for limited traffic, and that adding the connection would encourage cut‑through and speeding on streets where children play. “Connecting these roads will cause a significant increase in traffic that poses safety concerns,” Meyer said, noting a signed petition opposing the connection.
Council did not act on the petition or the issue during the meeting; the item was presented during the public‑comment portion and drew questions from council about the specific roadway alignment and neighborhood impacts. City staff did not provide a presentation or motion at the April 21 meeting.
Ending: The council heard resident concerns and asked clarifying questions; no vote or formal direction was recorded at the April 21 meeting.
