The residents and businesses of Addison Circle are facing a significant challenge with the proposal to remove vehicular lanes on Quorum Drive. As a dedicated business owner in the area, the thought of this change is deeply concerning, not only for my business but for all others that call Addison Circle home. The impact of reducing vehicular accessibility will hurt our businesses. Most of us rely heavily on continuous and convenient vehicle access for everything from customer visits to essential deliveries.

Quorum Drive serves as a critical artery for commerce in this area, but the proposal to reduce it from its current capacity poses a threat to its efficiency. Deliveries on Quorum will become nearly impossible with only two vehicular lanes. Traffic congestion is not just a possibility; it will become a reality. For residents and visitors alike, the ease of accessing the rich array of businesses and residences that populate Addison Circle can be severely hampered.

There are very few people who ride bicycles on Quorum Drive, making the need to create bicycle lanes unjustifiable compared to the vast usage by vehicles. Traffic data highlights that vehicular traffic significantly outnumbers bicycle traffic. Altering the infrastructure must be data-informed and reflective of the actual needs and usage patterns of our community.

It's crucial that alternative solutions be considered. Enhancing bicycle paths in locations other than Quorum Drive, where bikes are more frequently used, is one potential solution. Maintaining open dialogue with local businesses and residents can also ensure that outcomes align with the collective vision for our community.

Please join us in opposing the reduction of vehicular lanes on Quorum Drive to protect the vibrancy, accessibility, and economic health of Addison Circle.

We need your support to keep Addison vibrant and accessible for all its inhabitants.
