Dear. Mr. Mullen:
I am writing to you to express my concern about the pending development to be located at the
end of Robert's Court in Quaker Hill. While new housing is welcome in Waterford, it should
never compromise the safety of the area. I am concerned about this development's impact on
the safety of the area, particularly Robert's Court and Senkow Drive.
There are multiple young families in this area with children who walk and play in the
neighborhood. Included in this population are several special needs youth. Both streets do not
have sidewalks nor is there a biking path. Traffic in the area, especially on Senkow Dr., is
currently very busy as drivers use this street to cross from Old Norwich Road to Route 32 and
visa-versa. Robert's Court is a small cul-de-sac and is not designed to accommodate traffic
leading to over 20 homes. While I appreciate the need for access to this development from
main roads, Robert's Court is a poor choice. Using this road as an access point to the
development is an accident waiting to happen.
I am urging you to reject this development until a better design is presented that does not use
Robert's Court/Senkow Dr. area as an access point. Please feel free to contact me at (860) 227-
1125 should you need more perspective from a resident in the area.
Thank you
Diane Deedy
