This subdivision began with 45 homes. (Chippendale) Then they started adding Valley Ridge subdivisions – I think there are 3 sections – not sure. This added, slowly, an addition of 300 or so homes. It could be a very dangerous area if there was an accident or some reason people had to evacuate. Something needs to be done. I can’t beleive the county let this happen!
I am not familiar with this area, but was there only one way out when people bought houses in this subdivision or has another way been closed and they are limited to one. If there was only one when the homes were bought I am not sure why the county commission would need to be involved.
I can’t believe that the county let them build this subdivison with only one way in and out. I have lived here almost 15 years and this also happened when hurricane Ivan hit
here in 2005. They should have done something about putting us another road in here then. Everybody who lives in Valley Ridge should be on the phone to the county commissioner and demand that they put us another road in here all (300) homes.
Thank You
There will be times when the road will be completly blocked at times access can be made to get in and out through out the closure time. There may be a slight wait. The county preferred us request a closure just to be on the safe side.
I was just looking at Google maps before I read these other comments and noticed that you folks will be land locked with no way out. That’s completely messed up.
You guys should be out there with pitch forks and trucks blocking the area where they want to work until they come up with a solution.
If any of those families needs an ambulance or a fire truck, they won’t be able to get to you. This is a needless risk to property and lives.
You should be on the phone with your county commissioner. They should have made an access for you on Crist Plant Rd. years ago. Hope nothing happens in those 6 hours.
For those of us who live in Valley Ridge subdivision, what happens if there is an emergency since Motley is the only street in or out?
