The zoning request for the proposed Kiddie Academy has been officially denied. It is a relief to know that our concerns regarding traffic safety and neighborhood preservation were taken seriously by the council. Please remain observant as we move forward to ensure the area continues to function safely for everyone.

Final supporters
A new Kiddie Academy is being proposed just north of Hwy 51 on Providence Rd directly across from the entrance to Providence Springs Neighborhood.
If approved in its current form, the new school will have 185 students plus staff.
This will generate roughly 200 more vehicles 2x per day during rush hour to an already heavily congested area of Providence Rd. During peak pick up and drop off times for the school, overflow traffic directly related to this project could force Providence Rd down to one lane in the Northbound Direction.
In addition the Petitioner will have special events several times a year where parking could overflow to surrounding communities.

Not consistent with the all residential nature of the neighborhood all along Providence Rd from Rt 51 to Rea/Alexander. Dangerous U-Turns already made at site. No traffic light at the intersection. Already almost impossible to make a left turn onto/off of Providence Rd during peak day care traffic times.
This will make an already congested traffic situation worse and will force lots of cars to detour thru the surrounding neighborhoods (Candlewyck and Providence Springs), creating a negative impact on home values, safety and quality of life for many.
traffic is already heavy on this road. Have you ever been stuck in traffic when people are dropping off or picking up their kids at any of the schools in the area. Plus how big is the proposed lot. Will it hold the cars of parents picking up or dropping off or will Providence rd become a parking lot.
What a poor location for this. Traffic is already backed up beyond Alexander Rd during peak hours and I often see multi-car accidents because of bumper to bumper cars and sudden stops. This location shouldn't even be an option for a "kiddie academy".
This would be a traffic disaster waiting to happen in an already terribly congested area. The safety of young children in cars of their parents entering and exiting the proposed Kiddie Academy should strongly be considered.
New to the area and already know that it is difficult to exit Beverly Crest. I can't imagine added traffic to Providence Rd. I was drawn to the neighbor as it is right now, not with a daycare on top of an already congested intersection.
There is better use for this property on a increasingly congested street.

In addition to the added traffic to this already congested area, there is already a day care facility within the Beverly Crest neighborhood properly located at a traffic light that does not cause congestion.
