Florida Turnpike Widening Project: Public Hearing
September 23, 2013
Devon-Aire Villas # 1 Homeowners Association
In this Sunday's paper the FDOT announced that they will hold another public hearing to discuss the proposed Killian Parkway ramp project. The meeting is scheduled for October 3rd at 6PM. It will be held at the Killian Palms Country located at 9950 SW 104th St.
We encourage residents to attend this public hearing and to pass this information along to other residents within the area. It is important to remember that our options for entering and exiting Devon-Aire are limited and will be impacted by the extra traffic these new ramps will bring with them. Parents with children attending Devon-Aire K8 who drive through 122nd Ave to pickup & drop off kids can expect even bigger delays. There is also the concern for pedestrian safety for those crossing Killian to get to and from the park/school as well as for those who walk /jog along the overpass to and from the Shopping center.
For more information regarding the new public hearing, please visit RollBackTolls.com. They have posted more information on their blog here as well as on their Facebook page here.

Turnpike Expansion: Killian Parkway Exit
September 09, 2013
Devon-Aire Villas # 1 Homeowners Association
We were notified on August 15th 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.
