13 <br /> 382 information meeting at our school, so we have learned all about this proposal already, and we just <br /> 383 want to express that we have a very vested interest in this property, and we currently use it. We <br /> 384 have an agreement with the current owners that we can use the cross-country trail on it, so we <br /> 385 would lose that, and we just wanted to share that we are interested in the property and that we <br /> 386 would obviously love to continue to have our cross-country program. Thank you. <br /> 387 <br /> 388 Lamar Proctor: All right. Thank you. Winifried Johnson. <br /> 389 <br /> 390 Chris Johnston: If you could come to the front. I apologize. <br /> 391 <br /> 392 Winifried Johnson: I am just concerned about the traffic situation on 86. It's already really bad,so with this new <br /> 393 development, I'm just concerned about the traffic on 86. That's what I'm here to hear about. <br /> 394 <br /> 395 Chris Johnston: Okay. Do you, do you have any, any additional comments on that? <br /> 396 <br /> 397 Winifried Johnson: No,that's the only comment I'm concerned about. I just came to hear about what's going to <br /> 398 happen with the traffic. <br /> 399 <br /> 400 Chris Johnston: Wonderful. Thank you. <br /> 401 <br /> 402 Winifried Johnson: You're welcome. <br /> 403 <br /> 404 Cy Stober: Ma'am, before you leave,just so we have it on the record, could you just say your name once <br /> 405 again please? <br /> 406 <br /> 407 Winifried Johnson: I'm sorry. My name is Winifried Johnson. I live on 86. <br /> 408 <br /> 409 Lamar Proctor: Thank you very much,Winifried.And once again, if you step up,just make sure you speak clearly <br /> 410 into the microphone. State your name and your location in the county. Daniel Rawlins. <br /> 411 <br /> 412 Daniel Rawlins: I am Daniel Rawlins. I live at 200 Governor Burke Road. I just wanted to point out to support Ms. <br /> 413 Johnson, I don't know if anyone's been on 86 between 7:30 and 8:30 in the morning, it's a train <br /> 414 wreck. There are hills that already,there is many accidents already on that road in the morning <br /> 415 when you come over certain hills. If you've been up there you've seen it. I am concerned about <br /> 416 the traffic on 86 in the morning. Also, acutely for us,we have on Governor Burke Road,and if <br /> 417 anyone is there during the school hours, people cut across from 86 on Governor Burke Road in <br /> 418 the morning, especially high school children flying down our road. This would increase traffic <br /> 419 across, not only in the morning for school but also when people want to access that side of <br /> 420 Hillsborough where like Food Lion is, and they come through that area. The increased traffic <br /> 421 would definitely be a nuisance to us, but that would just be a nuisance. I am concerned about 86, <br /> 422 especially between 7:30 and 8:30. It is quite crowded already. There is plenty of traffic from the <br /> 423 Eno River Academy on 57 already, so anyone who's been there, I would say go drive over there in <br /> 424 the morning just once to see how bad 57 is from Eno River Academy and how bad 86 is from <br /> 425 traffic coming from north to south already, and that will increase that, and of course,for us <br /> 426 personally on 80, on Governor Burke Road in the morning, that would increase traffic cutting <br /> 427 across between 86 and 57, and I,without any kind of study of the traffic I'm kind of concerned, as <br /> 428 is already pretty bad already in the morning if anyone would come and see what it looks like at <br /> 429 8:00. It's pretty congested in that area already. Thank you. <br /> 430 <br /> 431 Lamar Proctor: Thank you. Stephanie Waller. <br /> 432 <br /> 433 Stephanie Waller: Hello. My name is Stephanie Waller, and I reside at 113 Blackman Lane. Growth is inevitable, <br /> 434 and I just want to have some accountability with the growth. The project I think is lovely. If I had <br /> 435 to actually choose between different builders or developers,what they propose is really good 1 <br /> 436 think having come from Durham as a native person and having seen the overgrowth in Durham. <br />
