I believe its reasonable to assume that close to 1/3 of the traffic for this facility will be coming south down Johnson Ferry Rd. These people will quickly learn that the best way to reach this facility will be to turn right on Sewell Mill, left on Pine, and right on Providence Road. The Sewell Mill/Johnson Ferry intersection is already congested. Traffic going down Pine will go right next to Walton High School, and Providence Road has a significant blind spot for residents exiting the Providence Corners Subdivision.

A Walton High School teacher was hit by a car last week at that blind spot. Many students cross providence road and cross pine en-route to and from school. The increase in traffic will have a significant, negative impact on people living along Sewell Mill, Pine, and Providence road.

We have to make sure the safety of our citizens, as well as their property values, are maintained.
