I believe that most of the people who support the project as stated do so for two reasons: 1. it will add sidewalks where there are none and 2. the road needs to be repaired. But fixing the road as the village has proposed will also widen the road considerably. The wider a road is, the more comfortable people are with driving faster on it, and the higher rate of speed is not compatible with the residential nature of the road, especially west of Pilgrim road with the many driveways that join the road and small children the live along it. We all want a better, safer road, but a wider road will be neither. Widening the road will require the relocation of hydrants and electrical power. It may need the village to acquire homeowner's property by right of eminent domain. This will all be expensive. None of this would be necessary if the road width is kept the same. I support adding sidewalks where needed and repairing Donges Bay Road, but I do not support changes that will change the character of the road that will draw more traffic and faster traffic to it, and therefore I will not sign this petition.

Clearly, this main east-west road in our community needs MORE than the minimum upgrade! The many children who use Kinderberg deserve and need the safety that the deceleration lanes and extra width provide! Please do the FULL upgrade of Donges Bay Rd!

With the speed and amount of traffic on Donges Bay, I don't feel safe running or having my kids go to their friends houses without a separate sidewalk or lane separate from the road. The hills make it especially dangerous. A little extra money towards this improvement is definitely worth saving a life.

One of the things we enjoy about living in this area is the walking/biking path- Donges Bay Rd. completes the loop we use for running, as well as for biking to Kinderberg Park.

The local auto repair shops use Donges Bay as a test road because it is so bad. These repairs need to be done.

Keep Germantown a family community. Lots of us have children & dogs and ride bikes. Taking out the pathways makes it less community friendly to get to neighboring parks
Consider the safety of all residence of our community. This is a chance to improve the community at minimal additional cost.

My biggest concern would be the elimination of pedestrian paths.....I often run in that area, sometimes with my kids biking, and the section just east of Pilgrim on the south side of the road where there is no pedestrian path is scary to run on with how fast the traffic flys through there. I would like to see the pedestrian path cover that whole stretch of Donges Bay, either on the south or north side of the road.

Donges Bay Road has been and continues to a terrible road. I have lived in Germantown for the most part since 1986 and seen very little improvement. The "sidewalks" are very dangerous near Pilgrim Road, it allows no cushion for the biker/walker especially when they are children who are often headed to Kinderburg Park. Please consider move significant work to this road. It will not only serve our community well, but continue to show others we value safety and our property values.

I have lived in Germantown since 1980 and this road has never been improved. The time is now to take care of this project.

Donges Bay Rd. has been the bain of my existence for quite some time. Nice houses border both sides of this road. It is a gateway to show what a nice community we have here. The homes are well kept up and make the community a nice place to live in. To thank us for our efforts and to continue making Germantown a nice place to live, a road that doesn't require my car to get realigned on a consistent basis would be nice.

This road really needs to be addressed. It is a main way into and out of gtown. There also needs to be pathways to the park and between the subdivisions. This is how our community gets abound and helps keep people active and mobil besides their cars. Please address this road properly!!
