Add new street in Town Center

Dear Editor:

I have a suggestion to circumvent the tremendous traffic problem which is developing in the Town Center area. The streets in this area have speed limits as low as 15 mph. And, recently, there are new apartment houses being built in this area, with hundreds of tenants and cars. To make matters worse, Central Avenue has to be the worst quality street in the whole Palm Coast city.

My suggestion to eliminate all of these problems is to put a new east-west street (with a reasonable, 35-40 mph speed limit and limited access) north of Central Ave. and south of Royal Palms Parkway. It would have access to the City Hall without driving through the 15 mph residential area. It would also connect to the north end of Bulldog Drive and provide access to the apartments being built in the area.

It seems to me that this is a highly needed street, as the traffic on Central Ave. is becoming excessive.
