Impact analysis
Applicants said adding 20 feet of road width would be a significant cost; the county previously installed over 500 feet of guardrail and a flashing light on Pass Road.
Residents along Pass Road would benefit from any reduced traffic or improved road safety conditions.
Neighbors bear current crash risk, and event guests and emergency responders would face added risk if improvements aren't made.
