NBH Commercial FourPlexes to Triple Traffic

Of the many disturbing aspects of the NBH FourPlex & Commercial High-Density Development Plan for K / 45 Intersection (driving down property values, replacing the rural aesthetic with an aesthetic similar to North Oak, etc), one of the most disturbing is the updated traffic study (see attached PDF here).

According to this study, the additional average daily car trips generated by NBH Commercial FourPlexes will be 9,911 for both K Highway and 45 Highway.

Now, let's look at K Highway.

The 2011 MODOT traffic count figured 3,333 cars per day for K Highway / Hampton Road.

Chapel Ridge , if approved by judge, would add an additional 3,669 new traffic trips per day for the surrounding area.

In other words, traffic on K Highway could easily go from around 3,000 car trips a day to over 10,000, if NBH is approved.

Make no mistake about it, K already is a very dangerous highway.  If NBH is approved, human lives will be lost.

Say NO to the NBH FourPlex & Commercial High-Density Development Plan for K / 45 Intersection

As some of our readers may know, a very dangerous development is being proposed for the K / 45 intersection that could devastate the aesthetic and property values for this area.

The proposal?  It's the NBH FourPlex & Commercial High-Density Development Plan for K / 45 Intersection.

This development:

- will double traffic on K highway, leading to more accidents and a lower quality of life.  There will be increased auto fatalities on K Highway and 45 if this development is approved.

- will include fourplexes and duplexes, completely incongruent with large-lot aesthetic of the immediate area.  (Any residential development here should only be for low-density housing - no fourplexes and no duplexes.)  Although these fourplexes & duplexes will be "for sale," they more than likely would eventually become rentals.

- will lower property values for immediate area.

- will include high-density commercial, possibly including grocery store, drug store and fast-food restaurants - transforming this immediate area from quaint rural setting to an aesthetic similar to North Oak Trafficway.  (Any development for this area should only be residential and not commercial.)

Please do not let NBH Holdings turn this area of 45 Highway into the next North Oak Trafficway.  Say NO to the NBH FourPlex & Commercial High-Density Development Plan for K / 45 Intersection.

Here's an image of what the developers have in mind for our area of South Platte County:

Let's hope we can get politicians with the courage to stand up to these developers!
