My earlier comment should read “if any addition of hard/soft shoulders to Quintette Rd”. Please forgive my pre-dawn typos
This is a wonderful location, quiet and easily accessed. I would like to know if the future widening and addition of hrs/soft shoulders to Quintette Rx (as part of the future 184 corridor improvement plan) will cause any conflict before anyone’s loved ones are interred here.
