In quarter <br /> one of 2023, 239 residencies in the three residential communities abutting 209 Old Barnstable Road <br /> received a survey asking if they supported or opposed the proposed development of affordable housing. <br /> Of the 239 residents, 192 surveys were returned. Fifteen percent or 29 residents were in support of the <br /> project, 163 residents or 85%were in opposition. <br /> Ivey issues of concern include unsafe road with the high volume of traffic re-routed during recent <br /> construction which now traverse the road areas on a daily basis. Unsafe road conditions increase the <br /> risk of a serious traffic accident which may impact pedestrians and drivers. The site being too small <br /> would dimmish the quality of life for residents, and water and sewering required for the additional 24 <br /> housing units would exacerbate Mashpee's current water problem. <br /> All Quashnet elementary school buses now exit on Snead Drive and directly pass the 249 Old <br /> Barnstable Road site which is already surrounded by traffic with the area condominium complexes,the <br /> golf course and Mashpee Village. Housing has also increased greatly over the past six years. This <br /> nukes this site a very dangerous area. Local decision makers were requested to conduct a site visit, and <br /> to vote in favor of a traffic study. <br /> 3 <br />
