SAFETY NEEDS: HERE’S WHAT WE’VE HEARD

Walking and Biking Needs:• Many roads, such as Clay Road, are unsafe to walk along

• Many roads, especially Route 1, are unsafe to bike along

• Continued development will make emergency evacuation difficult

• New Road floods at Canary Creek, hampering evacuation
