Petition to mitigate Traffic & Safety issues to Breckenridge Sub from school entrance.
We the undersigned, respectfully request that the proposed E-50 elementary school off Little Rd not include a street entrance to the 2 lane, divided landscaped median at Parkside Valley Drive in the Breckenridge Subdivision.
Vehicle access to the site for parents, staff and visitors from this school entrance will add undo traffic congestion to the subdivision and pedestrian safety hazards throughout the school day, events after school and on weekends. A shared or second Little Rd entrance could be used in addition to the proposed school bus entrance. Little Rd was designed for 4 lanes to accommodate additional traffic. This neighborhood entrance requires removal of 300 ft of landscaped median for vehicle turn lanes and stacking along Parkside Valley Dr.
Other nearby Wake schools have shared or double entrances off designated 4 lane streets. These school entrances have no stacking turn lanes causing neighborhood congestion or loss of streetscape.

I have kids at Morrisville Elementary and the lines cause quite a lot of traffic backup in the vicinity in many directions. This will impact Breckenridge residents significantly in both morning and afternoon times. Please consider entrances only on Little Dr.
Having an entrance or exit in a neighbourhood is a ridiculous idea, it will effect the safety of our residents. With increased traffic there will be a higher risk of accidents. There is a perfectly good, underused road (Little Drive) where there is room to accommodate the needs of school traffic. Don't ruin our neighbourhood.
Please utilize Little Drive for all driving/roadway traffic to the new school. Please create greenway/walking paths access to the school from both Parkside Valley and the intersection of Millicent and Willingham.
Safety is the biggest issue for our children. The 2nd biggest issue is the high volume of traffic created by Breckenridge residents...add possibly 100+ cars in a single lane "school zone " and it will be beyond chaotic. Please consider a Little Rd and Davis Drive enrtance/exit points. Thank you.
Adding any school entrance to this neighborhood will only further increase the already-bad conjestion around the entrances to Breckenridge. I cannot fathom avoiding this side of my own neighborhood more than I already must. Please revisit these plans and keep this school entrance off Parkside Valley, especially since another road is readily available.
extremely concern about the traffic and safety issues for Breckenridge from school entrance. Please help to address this concerns. Thanks.
Please keep the school's entry/exit on Little Drive, traffic is at a standstill on Davis Drive after 4:30 and the added vehicles from carpool and bus pick up is going to make it worse.

Please use some common sense on this issue. A private residential neighborhood road is NOT intended for heavy traffic. USE Little Rd where traffic will not interfere with neighborhood traffic. How are emergency vehicles supposed to access the neighborhood when traffic WILL be at a standstill?
