PETMON The undersigned homeowners of Sandpiper Village on Ryan's Way in Mwhpcc are opposed to the construction and opening of Cookes Seafood Restaurant or any other restaurant that will have entrance and exit traffic from Ryan's Way off Creat Neck Road. Ryan's Way is only a block long, but it is already used as the only access to a 26-unit condominium complex and the primary entrance to Restaurant 99. It is located one long block north of the Mashpee traffic circle, and less than a block from one of two entrances to Super Stop and Shop, in a heavy traffic area. New curb cuts are not allowed on that stretch of Great Neck Road because of its proximity to the traffic circle. At present, cars and trucks turning onto Ryan's Way cause traffic behind them to slow down or stop. If another restaurant were built adjacent to Restaurant 99, the demand for access to Ryan's Way would double. Traffic traveling north on Great Neck Road would back up to the traffic circle and impede the flow of the circle itself. We understand that the lot in question is commercially zoned property, but we also believe that a restaurant of any kind is unwise for the location, given the established uses of Ryan's Way and the flow of traffic on Great Neck Road. We urge consideration of the safety of the current residents of Sandpiper Village and all other Mashpee residents who use Great Neck Road, Stop and Shop, Restaurant 99,and the traffic circle. We therefore petition the town to reject any request to build another restaurant next to Ryan's Way. Signatures Attached
