If this subdivision is built without Bakertown Rd being improved in the vicinity of wherever the entrance/exit is placed, it will make an already dangerous road even moreso. Vehicles speed on this road in both directions and coming from the Bert Newman direction it is quite blind as the area in question is approached. There needs to he some sort of traffic control e.g. stop signs or a traffic light. I fear for the safety of the family, thats my family, myself and all visitors at [redacted] Bakertown Road, driving in and driving out of the property. I fear for our safety when walking to the mailbox which is located across the road, which is already an extremely dangerous undertaking. There is no shoulder, rather a ditch. This subdivision will only increase the number of vehicles on the road and thus increase the danger of an accident. Please listen to my plea for a safer road, not a more dangerous one.
