There have been nvmercus complaints over the years regarding the
difficult and dangerous egress from Sylvan Road to Rogan Road because
of its close proximity to Interstate Highway 1-95. The Public Safety
Committee has previously determined that the relocation of the entrance
in a southerly direction would eliminate a safety hazard.

Bear Chairman Frankel:
The development of the area around Sylvan Road/Hogan
Road has been escalating at a very rapid pace. The
traffic problems at this intersection have existed for a
long time but with the growth of the Bangor Mall and now
with the Springer Drive development the problems will be
compounded. The development of an alternate road from
Sylvan Road to Hogan Road utilising a right-of-way over
the new Darling's property and a portion of the existing
E.M.V.T.I. roadway has been carefully studied and
reviewed with the City Engineering Department and now
appears to be a logical solution to a very dangerous
problem. With the proposed additional development in
the Sylvan Road area, the need for this new road is now
in order to alleviate a serious public safety problem.
It is important to note that all of the problems we face
on Sylvan Road are not those of our making but rather
problems created by the massive development which has
occurred on Hogan Road with the encouragement and
consent of the City.
The Public Safety Committee of the City Council recently
discussed this area and unanimously voted to proceed to
study solutions to this problem as they determined it
was in the public's interest to correct this public
safety problem.
