“The KHA board had previously voted to oppose the project as it has been presented.” ………………. What other way can you present it to make the KHA Approve it, Bribing THEM? The KHA and many others have said NO, so move on.

Does killearn have right to turn it into a “gated” community?

I hope the “No-Build” alternative is going to be considered as well as the other options.

If Killearn allows (or is out-voted or out-maneuvered) this “gateway” to be built and connected to Shamrock, the decline in quality of life and property values will begin – no matter what we’re told or promised now. We live here, the decision-makers and “urban planners” don’t. They will solve their traffic problems in the area of least resistance and most convenience. Killearn represents both now.
Once a neighborhood becomes a major traffic route, that neighborhood is far less desirable – the constant noise and increasing congestion ensure that. I saw this happen to several neighborhoods in northern Orlando where I lived for 25 years.
If this “gateway” begins construction that enters into Killearn, my house (which my wife and I loved) will be up for sale within that month.

The NE Gateway is nothing but a taxpayer subsidy for a private development to the tune somewhere between $50 to $100 million. The road would not have been proposed except to provide a road for the Canopy development. Blueprint funds should be allocated to projects that have community wide benefits such as parks and recreation areas,improvements to storm water and raw sewage systems,and jump start our clean renewable energy goals.

The project needs to be stopped now before they spend another $7 million on the preliminary design and environment phase.

Don’t do anything. The more the Traffic gets worse, expansion out that way will slow down. Stop allowing Urban Design (buildings being built right beside the Road) incase that Road needs to be widened later on. ALSO, what ever happened to the Rule/Law that the farther out you Go, Houses had to have MORE Acreage, like one House per two to ten acres, not 2 to ten houses per acre?

Having followed the course of development of 2 cities, Dallas & Austin TX, for half a century here’s an observation: Neighborhoods that successfully oppose new thruways grow in value; those that don’t shrink to commercial slums. Even 50 yrs ago I would curse the inconvenience of going from 6 lanes to 2 at the Highland Park (Dallas suburb) city limit line. I don’t live in Killearn, but I would suggest they tell the planner Whack-o-crats to plan for balloons to float over the neighborhood.
