Patterson Place Phase 2 Bobby Street connection

A Western Hills mother opposed the road connection, citing speeding, small children, and the neighborhood's long-unmet requests for speed bumps and sidewalks.

A Western Hills representative said the small community already has enough traffic, drug-activity concerns, and multi-generational homes — and asked why the Phase 1 road couldn't be used instead.

A 57-year resident who maintains Battle Park warned that a new road down Bobby Street runs straight to the park and speeding drivers would endanger children.

A neighborhood resident said traffic is already too heavy and asked that the neighborhood be left as it is.

A grandmother of six from the neighborhood said she'd be scared for her grandkids and noted there are already three ways in and out.

Lives about ten yards from where the street would go and said there's barely room — asked why the connection couldn't be made elsewhere.
