Neighbors say Red Pump Road can’t absorb hundreds of new daily trips; ask for traffic study details and safety measures
Summary
Residents told the applicant Red Pump Road and adjacent streets are already congested and dangerous, pressed for sight‑distance and turn‑lane information, and asked whether emergency apparatus will be able to access a single‑access subdivision.
Several neighbors told the applicant that Red Pump Road and adjacent residential streets are already used as high‑speed corridors and said an additional 304 daily trips (applicant's estimate) would worsen congestion. "Traffic is horrendous," said Virginia Davis, a long‑time resident who described waits of several minutes on Red Pump Road and asked whether a bus turnaround would fit in the proposed layout.
Residents asked whether the traffic impact study is publicly available; the applicant said the study has been submitted and is under county and State review and that the DAC review is the next step. Councilman Tony Giordano said county staff will require specification for emergency apparatus and that the developer will need to demonstrate any required turn‑lanes or intersection improvements before the County will allow construction to proceed.
