| Pathstone is a massive mixed-use development that is being planned for Beulah just south of 9-Mile Road--across from the Navy Federal Credit Union Campus. Some neighbors feared this development would hook into Klondike Road for southbound egress. This is not happening. |

| This view of the southeastern portion of the proposed Pathstone Development shows a 50' Public Emergency Access Easement (highlighted in yellow) that will be included with the development. This easement will connect Pathstone to Klondike Road but it will only be utilized in emergency situations by emergency vehicles..the gate will be locked and only first responders will have the key |
Numerous residents that currently live off of Klondike Road have expressed to me their concern that the massive development coming in just to the north of them will dump traffic onto Klondike Road--a road that simply could not handle this sort of an increased load of traffic.
I have confirmed this week that the Pathstone mixed-use development will be utilizing the soon to be 4-lane 9-Mile Road exclusively for ingress/egress of residents and visitors. There will be no "day to day" commuter traffic diverted downward through this development and on to Klondike Road.
I was asked the following hypothetical question by a concerned resident that lives nearby. "What if the Pathstone developers purchase a piece of property that already connects to Klondike--could this allow them to build a road through to Klondike that would allow traffic from Pathstone on to Klondike? The answer, which I received from county staff today, is that such a scenario--if it were to come to pass--would not be approved by the county's road staff. Klondike, as it sits, cannot handle the additional traffic. There will be a roadway connecting Klondike to the southern portion of Pathstone--but it will be gated and locked and only utilized in emergency situations and only by Fire, EMS, or Sheriff's Office personnel.
Will there be a stoplight on Nine Mile at the entrance to this neighborhood?
ReplyDeleteAll of this was just to slide through an agenda that will now funnel through 1000 more cars through our neighborhoods. The Klondike Road speedway will soon commence. What is going to happen to all the water from the wetlands? Where will it go? How is all the traffic going to exit onto Wilde Lake and the interstate? Are you going to rezone more land on Klondike to multi family (apartments). Are we going to have more apartments on the top of Klondike as well? Maybe another connection onto Klondike Road?
