GALE ^, KIRK <br /> ~3~ ~ Cnw Road <br /> Shelb% H. £. 28150 <br /> <br />July 26, 1989 ~ <br />Cabarrus County Commissioners ~ ~"~" .... <br />Concord, NC 28025 <br />Dear Commissioners, <br /> <br />As a former resident of Cabarrus Oounty, who lived there most of <br />my life and who moved to Shelby 2 1/2 years ago due to my <br />husbands promotion to the home office, ! would like to voice an <br />opinion. <br /> <br />Long before we moved, i't was very apparant that traffic on <br />Mighway 49 from Jackson Trainig School to UNC-Charlotte could, at <br />times be a very busy road. It is even more apparant now that 49 <br />is being developed in Harrisburg and Mecklenburg. As President of <br />the Association ~or Retarded Citizens/North Carolina, I travel <br />along the route to Raleigh a mininum of once a month. Recently on <br />on such a trip, I stopped, both that morning and evening, at the <br />Say-A-Then to put gas in my car. During the one to one and a half <br />minutes it took to fill the car up I counted 66 (morning) cars <br />and 83 (evening) cars who were 'nose to tail'. I am very serious~ <br />~nose-to-tail' and barely moving~ Thank goodness I was going in <br />the opposite direction both times~ <br /> <br />When the state bought the rights to build Mighway 49, enough land <br />was bought to make it a four lane highway. Ny point is this: I am <br />suggesting that Caba~rus County look to it:s future growth and <br />have the state expand 49 to four lanes from the county line to, <br />at least, the intersection at Zion Church Road or we will be <br />encountering the same pitfalls with traffic that other cities are <br />currently experiencing, traffic jams on our major fareways[. <br /> <br />Another area for you to take serious consideration of is Righway <br />29, which in the last five years has been compared to <br />Independence Boulevard[ Improvements along Righway 29 from 1-85 <br />to the hospital has helped, but it can still be a traffic jam on <br />some days. I know, I've been caught there once or twice [n the <br />last two to three months. <br /> <br />You, as leaders, should be looking at that future growth and how <br />it is affecting Cabarrus now and in the very near future. <br />Cabarrus is -l~-experiencing tremendous growth and overflow from <br />Mecklenburg and should take steps, NOW, to make it orderly. <br /> <br />I hope you will seriously consider my opinions. Some day I hope <br />to move back. I want to continue to feel that Cabarrus is the <br />best place to live in North Carolina[ Please, don't let us get <br />caught in the disorderly patterns of other citiesl <br /> <br />Sincerely <br /> <br /> <br />
