A developer is trying to enlarge a residential zone at the end of Old Bramble Lane in Phase 3 of Lakestone Village. The developer will build houses in this area and temporarily leave the end of Old Bramble stubbed for future connection to Highway 55 through commercial/industrial property. The developer hosted a neighborhood meeting on August 16th where residents were told the neighborhood road would not connect to 55. They were using these words to deceive the residents because they would not be the ones connecting it, but leaving it for future commercial properties to connect to our neighborhood.
The purpose of this petition is not to deny them the right to build homes on a residentially zoned property. The purpose is to deny their request to expand the residential zone, allowing them to stub a future access road to Highway 55.
Property owners in Lakestone were under the assumption that this road would never connect to a major highway. Five Points in Fuquay is one of the busiest intersections in the entire town. Allowing vehicles to cut through our residential streets to bypass this intersection would cause a large influx of traffic through our neighborhood by residential and commercial vehicles.
Please help by signing this petition and attending the next neighborhood and town hall meetings. We need your support to protect our beautiful neighborhood!

I have spent the last few days pouring over the deceptive maps provided to us and the reality of the traffic impact is even worse than we feared. My neighbors are rightly terrified that our quiet streets will become a dangerous shortcut for highway commuters. I am currently preparing my testimony for the town planning session to ensure they understand exactly what is at risk for our families.

Seeing this groundswell of support proves that I am not alone in my fear for what becomes of our streets. This momentum shows the developers that they cannot simply pave over our concerns for the sake of their project.

I was at the first meeting at the end of Old Bramble. We were told that we would not vonnect to 55 multiple times.
Connection to Willow Creek neighborhood already causes dangerous conditions and unnecessary speeding. Do not put our children in further danger by connecting a major roadway.
DO NOT connect Old Bramble to Highway 55! That would be very detrimental to the quality of life in Lakestone Village and allow much too much traffic going through a lovely neighborhood. Our property values will be hurt! NO CONNECTION!!!
We are already having to deal with speeders cutting through from the Weststone connection. This future connection would make things incredibly worse and as a father of a young child I don't want to have further endeavors, such as these, put my son in any more danger. Especially from commercial traffic.
Speeding is already an issue on Old Bramble as I've almost been hit while pulling into my driveway by the people living in the connecting subdivision using it as a cut through. Speed limit should already be dropped to 10-15 mph to eliminate hazardous driving conditions.
The traffic on Old Bramble is already too much and too fast. We don't want another cut-through created. We are already funding an $8 million revamp of 5 points. Thanks
I oppose the connection of old Bramble to Rte 55

We bought this home less than a year ago for the purpose of raising our children in a quiet subdivision now we have been misledand will basically be living on a through street for the reasons nobody has a good explanation for who could possibly benefit from this action. The only recourse we have and will promise is legal action if this goes forward.I can promise you that we will not roll over and just let this happen without a fight and you can take that to the bank for certain
