Description

as to why St. Catherine of the Sienna Church was allowed a permit to upgrade the church/private school from a large one to a enormous one in our neighborhood? Prior to the mega church being built I had already dealt with problems for years (parents racing to drop off their kids at top speeds - while mine are on the sidewalk waiting for bus) and ten minute waits to get out of my driveway. Since the expansion I have literally been held hostage in my neighborhood for up to 15 minutes while the church lets out and not one person will let me out or into my driveway. And if I am trying to come into my home via Tyler Run and need to make a left at the stop sign I may as well turn my car off for 10 minutes while one car after another goes by. I don't mind the church in the neighborhood. I do mind that it has expanded to such of a large facility and that the members are not courteous to those of us who live here. Next time the town votes on building expansions you really need to take the impact such of an expansion will have onto the neighborhood. Prior to the expansion a person came to my door very excited about the upgrade. I expressed my concerns as I already schedule my trips around church hours and they assured me that they were going to have an additional exit added so that W. Holding wouldn't be "off limits" and unusable during church hours. That has not happened. This is more of a vent then anything - but also a reminder to those who frequently go through other neighborhoods to be courteous. .
