The Stillwater city council is planning a full reconstruction of Maryknoll Drive in 2021. Prior to finalizing the plans, the residents of Maryknoll would like additional measures to be taken to reduce speeding, illegal U-turns, and route traffic more effectively. Maryknoll Drive has continued to become less safe in recent years and now is the time to act prior to spending dollars on a reconstruction project that may not fully address the needs of the neighborhood.
The residents living along Maryknoll Drive request that additional public hearings and an updated traffic study be completed and that Maryknoll Drive should be removed from the 2021 road construction project until such time that improvements can be made to meet the requirements of the people living there.

The increase in public attention is shifting the council's perspective on this reconstruction project. I have submitted a formal request for a meeting with the planning department to review our specific safety concerns before any finalized designs move forward.

We’ve lived on Maryknoll Dr for almost 4 years now. Just backing out of our driveway is SO dangerous because of speeding cars! We’ve had many close calls! It seems to be a high speed cut through for many of the vehicles. Before I’m forced to spend the amount of money they are asking for, there needs to be some research and problem solving done on these issues so we can all live more safely!
Maryknoll had become a highway that runs through a residential area. Oak Ridge is the feeder and people are constantly speeding through our neighborhood. There are no sidewalks in our neighborhood and there has to be a way to keep our streets safe so the residents of Croixwood can enjoy their own neighborhoods safely. Deer Path was the former cut through and that was eliminated. Croixwood deserves the same consideration. If people take 5 minutes longer to get where they're going without cutting through our neighborhood that's a win.
204 Maryknoll Drive. I would like the proposed Maryknoll Road project to address the issues of speeding and high traffic volumes. Also the issues of people blowing through the Interlachen/Maryknoll stop sign. If you’re not willing to address any of these concerns, then the cost percentages of the project need to be switched, 70% to the city, and 30% to property owner, since the non resident traffic is far greater then the resident traffic.
Please put this on hold until further studies can be made! Traffic MUST SLOW DOWN. My young children and i use maryknoll to get to the bike path. We have nearly been hit more than once by speeding drivers crossing the street from the SIDEWALK. this is dangerous. Please!!!
I support a traffic study and incorporating a speed and traffic mitigation strategy into the Maryknoll Project. I live at 204 Maryknoll and feel unsafe walking on the road or simply getting my mail due to the heavy traffic and unchecked speeding of people using our neighborhood road as a cut-across. Last year we had a car crash into our yard and destroy landscaping and a mailbox. Thankfully no one was injured - I think action is needed before someone isn’t as lucky.
I am glad that the traffic issues are being addressed for Maryknoll. It is much busier since the access north of 75th Street. Whatever can be done to slow down traffic and make it safer for walkers, bikers, cars, trucks, children, and local residents will be appreciated.
We live on Darrel Court and hear the constant speeding traffic.

We argued the traffic on Maryknoll would increase significantly at the December 4, 2012 Armory/Fire Station Traffic Impact Study despite your hired engineering firm's conclusions to the contrary. And here we are ... the new Deerpath. But unlike Deerpath's problem with car traffic, we get a significant amount of commercial truck traffic, as well as city maintenance trucks and trailers as well as fire department trucks. Very disappointed with the City's management of traffic design.
