The Issue

Park View at the Hills is a community we hold dear, and we are proud of the peaceful environment we've cultivated. However, recent developments threaten to disrupt this tranquility. Construction of a new apartment complex adjacent to our neighborhood has begun, and when it opens, it could significantly alter our daily lives.

The apartment complex will house 325 units, likely adding hundreds of vehicles to our local roads. Most concerning is the plan to open Gatewood Avenue, a street directly across from our community pool and playground, where many neighborhood kids get picked up and dropped off by school buses and parents. This change would funnel traffic through our neighborhood streets, primarily from people using our entrance at the traffic light.

Imagine the increased traffic congestion at peak hours, the noise pollution, and the safety concerns for our children who play outside. Our streets, which are currently calm and safe, will transform into busy thoroughfares. This is not only inconvenient but diminishes the quality of life we've grown accustomed to. It's imperative that we act to preserve the character of our neighborhood and ensure the safety of our residents.

We propose the following actionable solutions:

1. Gatewood Avenue/Sky Bell Road to be permanently blocked off, or 
2. Negotiate with local planning authorities and developers to limit Gatewood Avenue/Sky Bell Road access to emergency vehicles only.

Our neighborhood deserves to be protected from the negative impacts of improper urban planning. The introduction of such a large number of vehicles to our quiet streets is a serious concern. The safety of our children, the peace we cherish, and the integrity of our community should not be compromised for convenience.

Join us in urging local authorities to reconsider the current access plan and implement measures that safeguard our neighborhood. By signing this petition, you're standing up for the safety and well-being of Park View at the Hills residents. Let's protect our community together. Sign now to make a difference.
