Pave a new road to solve Horsepen Creek problem
Regarding a front-page article in the News & Record on April 27: A simple solution for Mark Ozment and the hundreds of other residents trapped in our neighborhood by the increasingly heavy traffic on Horsepen Creek Road is to finally pave and open the short section of Plantation Drive that connects Waynoka Drive to Will Doskey Drive. This relatively inexpensive quick fix would allow us direct access at a traffic light onto New Garden Road.

That's awfully considerate of you to divert traffic through a residential neighborhood for your benefit. The space you talk about is not city property. The city council permanently closed this section and gave half to each homeowner nearly 10 years ago to avoid exactly what you are proposing. A short cut through a residential
neighborhood always causes safety and traffic problems. Look at the Cotswold area. This neighborhood only has the one way in and out now. Thanks for looking out for my neighborhood...but no thanks!!

There is no solution for Horsepen Creek Rd. Apparently those who approve developments did not care that they would all share a two lane country road. I feel sorry for those longtime residents who cannot leave their neighborhoods in the morning.
