Old kings Road Four lane from Palm coast Parkway to Matanzas

Tonight we heard Some Alternatives for the proposed widening of Old kings Road From Farragut north including a bypass around Matanzas High school . The Project proposed two plans both would include ten to twelve foot multi use sidewalks on either side However several routes were proposed north of Forrest Grove with varying financial and environmental impact. However no studies of a smaller scale two or three lane bypass were made. Residents questions about Noise and crime from extra traffic generated by this accelerated access were not answered. Residents on Forrest grove Expressed fear for safety because of the present speed of traffic. Remediation for the trees lost to the water line installed a few years back are not being addressed at this time the choices seem to be what side are we going to the retention ponds on. No landscaping or noise buffers were illustrated to be a part of the planning process. Looks like the F section is in for more Noise and a 5~? year wait for traffic signals at Fleetwood Frontier or Farmsworth, If funding becomes available. I propose the project should be scaled down and simple two lane with a turn lane and generous side walk on one side with a dense canopy planned to negate the present traffic noise from I-95 and an accelerated plan to create a two lane Around the High school reduce High speed traffic on the residential Street Forrest grove. Residents that back up to the road are already encroached on enough without the extra 26.5 feet of right of way the city will have to purchase.
