“Yeah, I have a question. I totally understand this additional cost. Is it going to go toward the impact tax, or is it going to be an additional cost?”

“So this actually would add to the cost of each unit, depending if it is 750, or I was just calculating it, if it is 400,000.”

“Yeah, it could add like about $2,000 to $4,000 per unit. I do not know if there is any kind of, you know, I understand both arguments, okay? I understand the argument of safety, and also I understand that this is a big cost. I do not know that if there is any way possible to be some kind of cost sharing because, We are asking for safety, but it's not really warranted. But it is a good idea to put it for all the things that's sad. So is there any way to do a cost sharing?”

“It was a problem with the sight distance. So that's when I understand. I don't know. Maybe they could do all the underground or some of the other things. And when... the traffic study because I always hear that county government says that we just don't install these things unless that we test it out and see it's operational and see if there are issues and I'm thinking that maybe it is a possibility that they do some of the underground, anything that can destroy the pavement or any kind of conduits or anything that could be done. They do it and then make it easier in the future if it was…”

“And I think I sort of tend to agree with you. That's so strange. I'm agreeing with you, James. I agree with you a lot. But if the signal, there are two things. People get bored if the signal doesn't come and it's not enough cars, so they cross. If there is no stop, that creates more danger. And also, it could interrupt the traffic if the signal is too long. And people just wait there, and it doesn't happen. I think that the stop sign may provide more protection. This is pretty wide to do a refuge. Again, I think that maybe they could do some conduit and other things and improve the…”

“I really don't know why it is $750 or $400. Why is it so expensive? Is it underground or is it above the ground?”
Planning Board · Jul 9, 2026

“Well, I still think that that makes it a better compromise for everybody that the underground to be done and fix it for a stop sign and then with the future. So that is exactly the compromise that I have been talking about.”

“She's correct. She's correct. We can do it at different stages. You can do it even at the use and occupancy, because before they get people to come, they can do another evaluation. And these are all written in the resolution, and DPS makes sure it happens. Okay.”

“I was going to add that. I think you don't want to get that late, because if they need to do it, they have to do the underground. You don't want to do it at the end of it when they have already built.”

“Well, we have to vote if that's the case. We haven't voted yet.”

“I don't have that yet. Okay. I do believe that there's to reevaluate at the time that we decide probably for the right-of-way permit. Okay. If at that time it's needed, they install it. If it is not needed, my recommendation is that they put the conduit and put the stop sign. That's what I would like to vote for.”

“Can you bring it to the board at that time? No. Just a question. So if we stick to the same criteria, we're going to stay in the same place. But we have to put a criteria that is like a third criteria. If we are saying that in six months, then MTCUD is going to come out. And we go based on what? is in that publication, that is black and white. But if it is based on my DOT criteria and something else, then it's going to end up to the same thing. I thought what we are talking about that we are waiting to get the new publication to be approved. And if that approved, We're going to look at the…”

“Well, I want this preliminary plan approved. I like the affordability that you have in here, and it's something that is unique and is needed. But I'm not sure that if I'm willing to add and to the cost of each unit, another 2,000 or 3,000. We are doing all of these things to make it more affordable for people that probably, hopefully, that would be their first house. I do support the preliminary plan, but I do have reservation for an unnecessary, I understand, and support traffic safety, pedestrian safety, bikeway safety. And I think that we could achieve those with the other ways. But I say…”

“I just have one. Do you have any, because comment from some of the public, do you have anticipated usage? Do you know that what is... What is the anticipated usage of this bike path? Just curious.”

“Well, that was not what I'm imposing. I just wanted to know what is the traffic, frankly, just that one. I was not imposing that. Don't build it. I know, but the... Maybe we could just tell that how many people are using. That's just a curiosity. But I support the project. I think it's a good idea.”

“I understand that. I was just wondering that what is the traffic? Because frankly, with Old Georgetown Road, I keep hearing from people that it's not being used. So I'm hoping that the traffic has increased. And I agree with you. This definitely would help for people. But probably most of the people that They're using it. I don't know. That's the question that I'm asking you. They're using it for transportation purposes rather than recreational. And to getting from point A to point B in the same area that they need to go probably shopping or just go do something or go to work if they live…”

“I have a question here. When you put these concrete buffers, does it going to interfere with the drainage of the lane, through lane? Or how do we, because it's sort of take away from the road, correct? So how?”

“I'm wondering why they didn't do it now, because we are not adding any lane. So why haven't we done it so far? Why are we waiting? What is it we are waiting for?”
