The undersigned members of Milton's Planning Commission oppose Plan C of the redistricting plan proposed by the Fulton County Board of Education. The Planning Commission is charged with assessing a variety of issues that come before the City and acting as a recommending body to the Mayor and City Council. Members have an acute awareness of land use plans included in Milton's Comprehensive Plan, and we believe Plan C is in conflict with several of the basic goals of the Comprehensive Plan. We also believe Plan C is in conflict with the tenets of the Milton Transportation Plan and the Lew Oliver Crabapple Master Plan. Plan C calls for a majority of the students that would attend the new high school on Bethany Bend to travel in an east/west traffic pattern. The primary feeder roads to this new high school are Birmingham Road, Redd Road, Bethany Bend and Providence Road. Each of these roads is already at or over capacity. The new student, family and bus traffic on these roads will destroy the fragile balance of cross -city commuter traffic from Cherokee County and the current Milton resident commuter traffic that already put these roads at over capacity. The BOE Plan C also calls for a majority of the future students at Milton High School to come from the current Roswell district. The primary feeder roads for the Roswell students traveling to Milton will be Crabapple Road through the Crabapple intersection and Bethany Road to Mayfield Road. These roads are at or over the capacity of the current infi astructure. The Crabapple Master Plan recently proposed by Lew Oliver calls for traffic calming measures for the already burdensome traffic volume and patterns. The traffic volume that would result from the significant student population coming through these crossroads as a part of Plan C will destroy any possibility for the new Crabapple plan being a success. We respectfully request the Mayor and City Council formally oppose Plan C and ask the Board of Education to develop a redistricting plan that takes the traffic components of Plan A and B into consideration while considering the fixture pians of Milton. Please pass a Resolution that formally advises the BOE that the Mayor and City Council of Milton oppose Plan C and call for the creation of a new redistricting plan. The BOE should also be asked to formulate plans to reduce the number of private vehicles traveling to and from all the schools in the area, regardless of which plan is adopted. Significant traffic is generated by individual cars picking up and dropping off students. Parents should be encouraged to place all students on BOE provided buses, thereby reducing traffic congestion, enhancing safety of pedestrians and preserving the environment.
