Turnpike Expansion: Killian Parkway Exit

We were notified on August 15^th by the Devon-Aire K8 PTSA of a proposed exit ramp on Killian Parkway.  (Click Here to read their email)  This expansion will have a direct detrimental impact to our community.  The Turnpike authority has chosen to bury the notification in the newspaper and only notified those within 300 feet of the expansion.  Due to their substandard notification, a public hearing that was held on August 6th was very lightly attended.  This has caught many of us in the Kendall community off guard.  This proposed expansion will increase the traffic to an already congested Killian Parkway.  It will also make crossing that section of the street even more dangerous to youths and other foot traffic going to/from the school & park.  The Devon-Aire K8 PTSA has started an online petition (Click Here) to try an stop the proposed expansion into Killian Parkway.  RollBackTolls.com, a grassroots advocacy group, (Click Here) has more information related to the expansion.  If you you oppose the expansion, please sign the Devon-Aire K8 PTSA online pettion as well as contacting our local state representative which is Representative Frank Artiles @ (305) 252-4300.
