Dear Neighbors,

There is a plan to build a 192 unit apartment building that would connect to Ridge Creek Rd and/or Quail Ridge Rd and therefore to our Stone Bluff neighborhood. There are many reasons not to want to connect the apartment building road and their access to our neighborhood, and we are asking if you support or agree with this, to please sign our petition, to be presented to the city planners during their meetings reviewing the development proposal (was presented already at Metro LD&T meeting on 11.14.19). More info below.

Reasons to say NO to the proposal to connect the road:

1) There is already a second emergency road for access to the neighborhood (this is a rarely used road, but it exists and was added to the city's e911 map for emergencies)

2) One main entrance to the neighborhood prevents crime and promotes safety (children can play in the streets and the neighborhood watch can keep an eye out)

3) Less traffic means less noise and trash/littering (proposal for apt complex is saying there will be a dumpster 25 ft away from our neighborhood roads)

4) Property values (current and future) (people may not want to buy a house in a high traffic neighborbood and with a large apt complex nearby)

5) Environmental impact (developments like this will cut trees down and contribute to air and water pollution; along with disturbing animal habitats)

Actions to make your voice heard:

-Email the case manager: dante.st.germain@louisvilleky.gov and say you are against connecting Ridge Creek Rd. Also, email/call Madonna Flood at Metro Council

-Attend the next Metro review meeting (date TBD)

-Make your neighbors aware of the situation and ask them to email and also sign this petition. (Note on the petition: Each individual must sign his/her own name. Entries such as "Mr. & Mrs. Jones" would be counted as only one name. )

There are 174 households in our Stone Bluff/Quail Ridge neighborhood, let's get the word out to have everyone sign! This affects all of us and we need to make our voices heard!
