Please do not approve this new construction. Before you even think about it, I challenge each member to sit through Hardin Valley School traffic for an entire week - morning and afternoon. Pretend to drop off a student, and then sit and WAIT for 15 minutes or more to even exit the parking lot to turn left to get back onto Hardin Valley Road. Have an appointment or a job? You're probably going to be late. Who planned a daycare facility with an entrance 10 yards away from the HVA entrance/exit? That was poor planning. Parents trying to enter and exit that facility each morning and afternoon as well as the only entrance/exit to HVA. MPC didn't plan well for that one. Traffic is a bear every morning and afternoon when I drop off my child. When construction was happening? Even worse. And we aren't taking the bus either, because it drops off almost an hour after school dismisses. Hardin Valley used to be amazing, full of farms and horses, and a few house. So much land. Some growth is good, but this is getting out of control. HVA is overcrowded with 550 in their FRESHMAN class. Please rethink all of this growth and planning. Schools are already overcrowded and underfunded. This won't help.
