. . Open House Public Comment La Porte Comprehensive Plan Update more traffic will increase the danger to these pedestrians and residents of this community. I see no real benefit to putting the road through - just a ''waste'' of money to please a few "outsiders". Call me and I can give you more input on this quality of life now and what will happen if Lomax is "cut up" needlessly. Thank you. Ronda Lunsford, 10280 North H, La Porte, 281-471-2024, 713-844-2347. 14) CONCERN: Safety of Farrington Blvd. Regarding excessive auto/truck traffic if allowed to be a major thoroughfare between Fairmont Parkway and the Lomax area. OBJECTIONS: a. Proximity of school zone with attendant Foot and bicycle travel by students. b. Fairmont Park. recreation ball diamonds, soccer field, etc. with heavy parking at curbside on Farrington Blvd. with foot traffic across Farrington Blvd. c. Narrow street without adequate right-of-way for proper widening. d. Lowering of property values in proximity of a major traffic artery. e. More suitable alternatives exist and must be considered. Gideon Jones, 10403 Quiet Hill, La Porte, TX 77571, Phone 281-487-4287 15) I am opposed to making H Street a secondary arterial. This is a neighborhood - larger lots don't want through traffic. I/we don't want bridge put in on H Street. I like the neighborhood traffic as is. Clarence Morgan. 16) Lomax does not need H. St. connected to Underwood, nor do we need Farrington connected to Lomax School Rd., nor do we need N. H Street connected to Barbour's Cut. This is an agricultural area where people have moved to for many reasons. (a) We want our space and the right for our children not to worry about walking on sidewalks down the street and having to worry about speeding traffic. Our children walk their animals down our streets and if you do this construction, their safety will be drastically reduced. As far as the fire and police, we already have a fire station and police do not have any problems now that I have seen. We also do not need a bridge over the drainage ditch. We are on a less traveled road now than L St. and P St. and that is why we bought on H St. If you open that up, you will double the traffic on N. H. Lori Druelanbredt 17)1 PROTEST CITY COUNCIL AND OUR REPRESENTATIVES' ILLEGAL ACTIVITYI No road connecting Farrington to N. H. St. This is a rural neighborhood community with lots of children and livestock and the Lomax residents enjoy use of this road for riding, exercising, FFA events, etc. This proposed cut-through the City is trying to push through is illegal. It is clearly against FAA regulations, and airport transportation regulations. The City is highly aware of this and is trying to circumvent the rules underhandedly. Clearly there is an ulterior motive for all this skullduggery. The people of Lomax have protested this for years. This is unnecessary use of our tax powers. The city is feverishly trying to find reasons to justify this road. Something stinks! ALSO - NO bridge connecting subdivision to N. H St. this is also totally unnecessary and will only provide non-Lomax residents a means to cut through our rural neighborhood and run it!! We are not a highway but a way of life in Lomax!! Stop ignoring the deepest wishes of the people you are supposed to represent. - 18) I am "STRONGLY" opposed to connecting Lomax School Road to Farrington. This issue has been opposed by the neighborhood. Our opposition has been expressed verbally to City Council and in writing and before the steering committee. Traffic is heavy and fast already. If you turn Lomax School Rd. into a connecting thoroughfare and/or a 4-lane road, it will be impossible to get in and out of our driveways and become "very" dangerous for our children and livestock. When you connect H St. through to Underwood, you compound the traffic and safety issues for all of us that live there. These are large lots and there are MANY horse ranches and people with livestock. These people are Shuttling horses and livestock on foot and in large trailers at all hours of the day and night. This will be a Page 3
