Resident says road changes near Magnolia Oaks Academy speed travel, aid emergency services
Summary
A resident told the meeting the new road changes shorten travel times to Courtney Vista Drive, Category 2209 and Silver Leaf Parkway, assist police, fire and rescue, and were completed in about nine months after construction was expedited to finish before school started.
A resident who spoke at the meeting said road changes near Magnolia Oaks Academy will shorten travel times and improve emergency response. The speaker identified the improvements as speeding trips to Courtney Vista Drive, to Category 2209 and to Silver Leaf Parkway, and said they "help emergency services, like police, fire, and rescue."
The speaker said construction "roughly took about 9 months," though the work had been slated as a 12-month construction project.
