Before anymore homes are allowed to be developed and accessed from Carter Mill RD, the remainder of the narrow road section to the west should have to be widened and paved to meet current county requirements as the traffic now results in numerous vehicles narrowly missing each other posing a serious safety hazard. The intersection of Carter Mill Rd and McCubbins needs to be reworks as it is so tight only one vehicle can turn at a time if on coming traffic wants to access the intersection.
Do traffic analysis. Road needs traffic light at back entrance of Walmart. Loves Creek needs to be widen. Can be dangerous at times. New apartment units have many units for rent at $1600 to $2000 a month. Many cannot afford them.
I would like to suggest obtaining the land between council place and Sevier Ave. Reconstruct that part of Sevier Ave into a two way street with a turning lane onto and off of Dawson Street. Block Council place from vehicle traffic altogether and make it into part of the greenway system connecting to the Gay Street Bridge as part of this development.
Please consider proper planning before adding additional houses for Carter Mill Dr. Currently, there are at least a thousand cars a day passing on a road that is made for 1.5 cars. My vehicle was totaled on this road last week, and I have had several "close" incidents of getting hit head-on. Carter Mill Rd doesn't even have lines. This is a huge safety issue and must be addressed before adding additional housing.
