Crofton - I attended the draft Crofton planning meeting on Sept. 18 regarding some proposed beautification suggestions. I do not agree with these proposed changes.
I think cutting Joan Avenue and York Street in half with planters down the centre will ruin these beautiful avenues as they exist. I think our town is lovely with the large avenues we have now.Eliminating angle parking on Joan Avenue is a terrible use of our usable streets. I frequent our local businesses; this change will hinder the owners and make parking a nuisance. Neither will benefit our community.These changes appear to be a waste of money and will disrupt the quaint shopping experience along Joan Avenue we enjoy now.Three roundabouts in our town is uncalled for; there is already an issue for large vehicles at the intersection of York Street and Adelaide Street, causing large delivery trucks and trailers to backtrack. I don't see roundabouts making our local streets safer in any way.I love to see an expansion of green space but am against adding any extra strain on our limited quantity of water.Patricia CollinsonCrofton
