Description

Recently it was stated by our HOA president of the neighborhood of Park Landing that another fitness center is projected to be constructed on the corner of Brunswick Forest Parkway/Low Country Blvd across from the neighborhoods of Parkway Crossing and also Tennyson Village. By the time that happens, there may be houses constructed on the other side of the railroad tracks and Parkway crossing may be built out. When that happens it is anticipated that there will then be 2 lanes going south on BF Parkway over the railroads tracks or taking a left onto Low Country or turning right into Parkway Crossing, cars coming out of Parkway Crossing, possibly taking a right or going straight to the median to take a left onto Low Country or straight on Low Country. Meanwhile there will be cars travelling north on BF Parkway from across the tracks, turning right onto Low Country or taking a left to go into Parkway Crossing or going straight on BF Parkway. Then there are the cars coming out of Low Country that can take a right or cross to the median to go left or go straight to Parkway Crossing. Add to that all the cars that will be going into and out of the new fitness center located there, the intersection will be just as dangerous as the one at the other intersection of those two roads and the current fitness center. With just a little forethought in the planning stages, maybe some of that congestion could be avoided by at least placing the exit and entrance to the new fitness center in a way that it doesn't add to the inept traffic pattern or at the very least, in order to maintain a safe traffic pattern, add stop signs or a traffic light to begin with. It will be cheaper to do it at this point rather than after everything is complete. I know I would appreciate it, and many others will also. Maybe the possibility of serious accidents taking place there at the very least would be minimized. Is there any additional safety measures planned to take place before or at the time of construction at that particular intersection? I hope the Town of Leland would monitor the construction and put in the proper safety measures so so all traffic can travel through there safely.
