Letters: Completed road would be great help to residents

Posted

I have been a resident of Mountain Vista Ranch for about 11 years. I have always hoped that someday the road from Bell Road north of Mountain Vista Ranch would be completed.

It would provide a great shortcut from the car wash, Culvers and Discount Tire, for me and my wife rather than have to enter onto Bell Road for two blocks, and come around after turning at the light heading south. It would also be nice coming from Sun City Grand since we have friends who live in that community.

We have one exit to the east, one to the north and one to the south. Leaving to the north or to the east would be much easier with the road open. With the new community going in, most of that traffic would likely exit to Sarival and then south to Greenway or north to Bell Road.
