Our concern now is that the concerns of one County Resident’s individual access is in jeopardy of upending over a decade of concerted efforts, and careful planning that would create an ideal condition for regional access management in a proven method such as a divided boulevard. This approach has already proven itself at Berry Farms, and has certainly allowed the COF to separate itself as a smart growth area with planned divided roadways such as Carothers and Cool Springs Blvd. The success of these roadways is evident when compared to the traffic, safety, property value and aesthetic comparisons of roads such as HWY 96 East or Nolensville Road in Metro Nashville.
We along with the numerous residents and business owners in Berry Farms would implore the COF to continue to honor their previous commitments and help protect the safety, welfare, and property values for the people that have chosen to invest in, and become citizens of the City of Franklin.

The city officials remain quiet on this issue despite the clear evidence that our current road layout keeps this community safe. I have been speaking with neighbors who are just as frustrated as I am that one individual preference might outweigh the long term planning for our area. We have to keep showing them that the people who actually live and work here value the median.

Seeing this momentum grow proves that so many of my neighbors care just as much about our safety and the character of our roads as I do. It is heartening to know we are united in holding the city to the standards we were promised when we chose to live here.

The driveway of the person opposed to the median is literally 5 yards from an opening in the median where he can make a u turn to go north on Lewisburg Pike. Is the such an inconvenience for one individual to justify wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax payer money? Or to destroy the beauty and safety of the median?
I respectfully request that the median be left as originally approved. (1) For safety reasons. (2) To honor the multiple owners at Berry Farms that purchased with this in the plan. (3) Lastly, the aesthetic greatly enhances the area for all owners.
I am a local attorney and would respectfully ask that the city not let one individual who believes he/she may be slightly inconvenienced create a situation that creates a much more dangerous traffic situation. Thank you for your consideration.
If the median is removed, traffic approaching the crest of the hill would have to deal with a blind driveway which is hazardous. The median design was approved through proper channels over 10 years ago and should not be removed due to a single Williamson County resident complaint-- the issue is a matter of convenience, rather than a loss of access.
• Berry Farms stakeholders were aware of the approved master roadway plan at the time they purchased homes and made investments based on this plan. These multiple homeowners should not be penalized based on an individual request.
Keep the Lewisburg Median
Please keep the previously approved and constructed median. We do not need an unsafe 5 lane road coming through this beautifully planned area of Franklin the Berry Farms homeowners & city taxpayers have invested in.

This is ridiculous. This would pose an unsafe flow of traffic for thousands of people as well as school buses picking up the children of this neighbor hoods.
