Closing Darby is not the solution. Why not study the problem and offer several options to the residents who will be impacted the most. Let them choose the solution.

Thank you so much for helping get our voices heard. We are strongly opposed to closing Ferndown. We live on Paddington right around the corner from Turnbridge and closing Ferndown will dramatically increase traffic coming past us- the road is already busy enough! Not to mention the problems it will cause for our children on the bus as well as emergency vehicles. Agree people need to slow down, but this is the case all over Glenmore and closing Ferndown is not the answer.

There is no need to close the road. As a resident of Pendower, I have decided to start taking Turnbridge and not Darby. Darby needs to stay open for everyone! They should also build a sidewalk. Closing the road is not the answer!

Has anyone researched the history on the number of collisions (involving autos) and/or injury accidents (involving autos) inside the Glenmore gates since 2000? And, how many on Darby Rd. East at or near Ferndown? If there are any at all, I suspect they number fewer than the number of people injured by wayward golf balls or injured in falls from horses.

There is overwhelming support for leaving things as they are. This support has been constant for over 10 years. The county went on record, when I was GCA President, as not supporting the closure. By my count, even the SHA does not support this
closure.

As residents desperately trying to sell our house on Victoria Lane, the very idea of this road closure is absolutely horrid! Not only will the safety issue for emergency vehicles be an issue, buses for school children, etc, but the message it sends to potential people looking at a "family-friendly" neighborhood is clearly at risk. The message of a few snobby residents that don't like the fact a road is used through their part of neighborhood doesn't say much about their friendliness.

This photo-shopped picture is very good reality. Like pinching an inflated balloon, closing a road will push the problem to an adjacent area.
One of the 24 residents suggested that ripple, lower type of speed bumps used on highways forewarning a change of speed ahead could be a viable option. Those lower profile speed bumps might survive snow-plow damage.

I think if implemented it would be a hazard for emergency vehicles. Not a good idea.
