Fowler’s future in my backyard.

Hello, I live on Sweetgrass ave between Babcock and Durston. The future Fowler connection will literally be in my backyard.

Currently there is a wonderful gravel walking path and the open field, which is obviously ideal. However, I understand the necessary connection of this road and am only hoping it is done in a reasonable and respectful way.

I would love the walking path / trail to stay. I can certainly attest to the usage this trail gets and it would be a shame for families and eco commuters to not be able to continue down this love-warn path.

I’ve heard rumor about a 4 - 5 lane road being in the design for this put-through and that just seems egregious. The two lane stretch from Durston to Cascade is certainly ample and continuing this design would eliminate extraordinary demolition and crowding of this corridor.

Although the wildlife will be dislocated regardless, which is devastating in itself, as well as loss of very old trees, vegetation, and the creek, to expand the road to occupy the greatest capacity available is unnecessary and irresponsible. Is it not in the best interest and conscious of everyone to keep as much natural and safe through access as possible?

Even with additional housing and through access this section of road will not get the amount of use 4 -5 lanes would warrant. No way.

Also, a round-about at Fowler/ Babcock? Gross.

Thank you.
