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.
