Do Not Build Polk Parkway Extension- Section E-102 in Peace Creek / Lake Ashton Area


Do Not Build Polk Parkway Extension- Section E-102 in Peace Creek / Lake Ashton Area
The Issue
Residents of Lake Ashton and West Lake Wales were never notified of plans for a 6 Lane toll Road to run between their neighborhoods. All FDOT "Public Info" maps show Lake Ashton as Lake Myrtle! This road will cause Air, Light, Noise AND Water pollution. It will displace wildlife and destroy the quality of life for all nearby residents. Residents who bought properties here were told this land was protected by SWFWMD and would never be developed. Developing this area will destroy this entire leg of Peace Creek and cause flooding on either side. Peace Creek is a vital Tributary to Peace River. Natural Percolation land is vital to the lake levels of the Entire Chain of Lakes in Winter Haven, Fl and the drinking water wells of West Lake Wales. Local Residents Bought property here to get AWAY from Urban Sprawl! This leg of the Polk Parkway is Not wanted or needed! Choose the No-Build Option on E-102. Tell the Developers that the people say "NO- BUILD!".
