• Back in the 90's, Boca Bayou had to close their access point bc of all the accidents. How is something bigger and denser going to be safer? This is a 45 mph highway. That proposed building, on the downhill, less visible side of the Hillsboro River Bridge, has a single-car, gated entry.
  
  There is NO REMEDIATION that could mitigate the risk. Boca Bayou has two other exits to use. This compound doesn’t.
  
• It’s a death trap!

A spot zoning change could set the tone and paste for the whole rest of Deerfield Beach. We don’t want to allow this  overdevelopment here or in the rest of the city. Current zoning allows business and low density residential. We want to keep it that way.

A zoning change will:

1. Drastically reduce safety for the children in the neighborhood and kids at DBES due to heavy traffic volume.
2. Cause gridlock on Eller St 
3. Cause accidents on US1
4. Chick-fil-A has already been approved and will exponentially add to highly increased area traffic.

What to do about it: 

• Contact City Commissioners (link below) and **show up** at the 11/06/2024 meeting
• Express your safety concerns
• Tell them that our current gridlock is already more than we can handle
• Tell DFB City Commission that you want to maintain current zoning for business and less dense residential. 

• By the end of all this, these hazards will also be known to the City and the general public. As a Safety Risk Management facilitator, instructor, and practitioner for Broward College, USDOT/FAA, FDOT (my LinkedIn references are public) it’s my opinion that this change would add to existing hazards, create new hazards, and create an extremely high likelihood of serious vehicular and pedestrian accidents.

• Chick-fil-A traffic will be a major contributing factor in all hazards listed.

• The mitigation for these types of hazards is the City’s current zoning, which was created by city planners in for the benefit and protection of the people. 

• Nobody other than the developer wants the zoning changed.
