| The West Dimond site access driveway permitted by ADOT&PF and constructed in late summer 2019 is inadequate for future use by a residential development. The driveway crosses a popular area/neighborhood multiuse pathway. It has been demonstrated repeatedly that placing driveway pathway crossings well back from the edge of traveled way increases conflicts between vehicles and peds/bikes. I am surprised ADOT&PF allowed this configuration as the standard for Central Region is to pull pathways to the shoulder of the intersecting roadway for driveway crossings. Reconstructing this driveway to meet current standards would also eliminate the 5% up and down grades at the crossing due to the driveway being much higher than the pathway. This pathway is a community asset and the bar should be set higher for disturbing the existing use. Secondary comments regarding development. This area doesn't need high density housing added. This is most definitely not in character with the surrounding R1 single family home zoning. Thanks, Brendan | |
