Due to all the development north of Patterson, the 1st Street intersection is extremely difficult to go south east or west on Patterson Road. This backup is the worst in the 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. timeframe by adding another bridge and access to Northridge Drive will exasperate the situation. Please reconsider Paxton Valley as it will isolate Sage court and will put a horrible burden on Northridge Estates. Thank you.
We are against the high density in this area our traffic is already horrible this is not a walkable neighborhood now. I worked at Saint Mary's for 20 years you can't walk there from here. If this is approved over there on 7th street they should enter and exit on 7th Street there is no reason to ever put a bridge across this canal to the Northridge area. Our whole Northridge subdivision of 160 homes has only one exit in the whole subdivision; you may be confused about this because on a Grand Junction City Map it does show that there is another exit out of this subdivision near the canal and F 1/2 Road that was never done that is now private land there is still only one way out. So, if you put a bridge across people are going to try to come through here wander up and down through the hills, through the subdivision and exit only at the only exit which is almost at Patterson Road on 1st and opposite a surgery center, mind you, so the traffic is almost impossible to get out of here now. So, please do not put a bridge across here and have people wandering around through here. This is already a huge high traffic area as you know if Patterson that everything is exiting on the Patterson, and it's very very crowded you're trying to do something about the traffic there now. You can't widen the road so try not to do really high density housing just think about it and the future of Grand Junction. Thank you.
I'd like to comment on this high density R-12 zoning on the apartments up there by Sage. I think it's ludicrous that they're going to put more traffic that would put more traffic on both 7th Street which is two lane, and on 1st Street because if you actually put a bridge over the canal and run some of that traffic to Northridge there's only one exit out of Northridge and Willowbrook, it's a two lane, the streets are very narrow in Northridge going to have a lot of traffic problems there plus some days it's very hard to get on 1st Street from the traffic that's there now if you increase it's going to be worse, and I don't think that this is the proper thing for a 30 unit multi purpose apartment house anyway that's my comment I'm definitely opposed. Thank you.
I'm calling about the Paxton Valley Rezone. I have lived in Northridge since 1985 and I am totally against the rezoning. I would like to make that a note that I am not for it; totally against it. Thank you.
Hi, I would like to leave a comment regarding the Paxton zoning. I think 22 units per acre is inappropriate for the subdivision with the single houses that live south and west of that, and I think that that Duke Wortmann being on the city council and his wife being the realtor for that property is inappropriate. I think you need to keep the character in the value of this part of the valley and mixing and all that high density with really more rural one acre lots that are in those areas inappropriate more appropriate would be at the most 4 units per acre. Thank you.
