HomeMy WebLinkAboutRE Jerry and Norm inquired about this Gas Station Cape Canaveral (2)Good afternoon Mr. Greene. I want to respond to a statement made by Mr.
Braga in his email from yesterday regarding a traffic study related to
the proposed Cumberland Farms project. Mr. Braga states “I can only
guess on traffic counts, additional trips, access and departure trips,
and internal/external absorption and creation of traffic as there has
not been a request by the City to have the traffic in this area studied
for this development. That study could make recommendations for
improvements of access and departure from this development that could
save lives.”
In an email I sent to Mr. Braga on September 12, 2014 (attached), I
specifically state that a traffic study will be required as part of the
project’s Site Plan approval. I also referred Mr. Braga to Sec. 86-5 of
the City Code that spells out the specific information that will be
included in the study. In addition, the City’s Special Exception
process – which this project must undergo - requires an applicant to
address a project’s traffic generating characteristics and any needed
improvements to mitigate potential adverse impacts. Also, as this
project accesses SR A1A, the Florida Department of Transportation will
be reviewing it for potential impacts as part of its permitting process.
In short, the City’s review of this project will include, among other
things, a thorough analysis of traffic related impacts and any needed
mitigation measures.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Dave

FYI……….link didn’t work, but it’s the story on “Brevard zooms in on
road risk” on the front page today.
Didn’t see you or the City Clerk’s office on the e-mail.

Rick,
There are so many different ways to approach a story. Your article in
today's Florida Today got my blood pumping.

City of Cape Canaveral Public Records Link:

Public records section on the right
once there click public records folder
then click Cumberland farms
A developer is very close to having his development of a 14 pump gas
station go into the number 2 ranked crash-prone stretch of road in
Brevard County. How many+ turns a day(into/out of) will be added to
just that stretch alone with this development. There is no deceleration
lane and no light for this development. As I already knew this was a
bad area (my family lives in Cape Shores), you have given me the
firepower to continue the fight for public safety. Cape Shores Circle
exiting onto A1A will see useage increase by atleast 600%(best guess).
I have copied the Cape Canaveral City Council in this email. Betty; if
you could forward this to Mayor Randels (I can't find his email address)
I can only guess on traffic counts, additional trips, access and
departure trips, and internal/external absorption and creation of
traffic as there has not been a request by the City to have the traffic
in this area studied for this development. That study could make
recommendations for improvements of access and departure from this
development that could save lives.
A drivers "state of mind" is very important when making turns onto and
off of major road ways. If delays occur, this will increase the
likelihood that mistakes will be made and poor judgments executed. I
have said it before, and I am going to beat that drum atleast one more
time, "This development of a truck style gas station at this location
will create a traffic nightmare"
Please consider this when you are discussing the proposed development
with your Board members. I just want to live in a City that cares about
my safety. Is that Cape Canaveral?
