HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE DENIED ACCESS TO THE SW BY-PASS OR HAVE A THOUSAND MORE CARS GOING DOWN YOUR STREET??

The latest version of the Southwest By-Pass has nasty implications for everyone from Jarvi Road, Moxam Landing Road, and Kantola Road to every home from Bonnie Drive to Hillcrest Drive in the Mikkola area, as well as Fielding Road businesses. We have formed an action group to protect our homes, families and businesses and get others involved.
For those in the Jarvi to Kantola area, the latest version denies you access to Hwy 17 (SW By-Pass) at both Jarvi and Kantola. Think of the implications for school buses, emergency vehicles, property values and just getting to work and back or to shop.

-> For those in the Mikkola area, the plan states: Moxam Landing and Kantola traffic will use the existing means of access (to Lively) through the Mikkola area. Bonnie Dr., Patricia, Hillcrest and Mikkola would get the brunt of the new traffic. Imagine the line-ups at the Hillcrest or Westview intersections! This proposed Access to Lively would deal a terrible blow to the Lively business and community center. This slow, awkward, dangerous route would discourage many from going to Lively.

-> The plan continues access to Southview Drive using a service road linking Kantola and Moxam Landing roads to Jarvi and thus to Southview. The plan would force much more traffic to use this very poor quality, congested road as it becomes the only way to access the south end. Southview also would have no access to the by-pass.

-> Neither would Fielding Road!! Over 1000 people work on this road. Daily, a continual stream of traffic enters and exits Fielding Road using the by-pass. Think of the impact this could have on local businesses and thus economic growth. Think of all those Fielding Road trucks trying to turn left off RR55 to get to the By-Pass-what a mess!
-> The logical answer is what everyone wants: a simple diamond interchange at the Fielding/ Kantola intersection. Nothing else works. Our one goal is to pressure City Council and the Province to listen to the voice of the people.
