Population in the Next 30 Years and What It Could
Do to Our Community.

• In the next twenty-five years, the population
  will have grown much larger. If that happens we
  will need more road space or even more roads.

Also, if there are more people in our community
the roads are not going to be wide enough and we
are going to need larger roads. Can you imagine
Tiogue Ave with...
About 5 lanes per each road!!!
3
What Can Happen If

We add more lanes to Tiogue road ,we are going
to

Lose business space, which will
Cause residents to leave Coventry

And money Cause residents to move their houses
and spend money that many people these days just
don't have.
Cause people to lose money and causes the
houses they move to to become of a lesser quality.

!!!!!This is not looking good!!!!

Would you like to live in a place that looks like
this.

Or a place that looks like this.

What?
YOU DONT WANT TO LIVE IN A PLACE LOOKING LIKE
THIS? WELL THATS WHAT Coventry IS GOING TO LOOK
LIKE IF WE KEEP HEADING IN THE DIRECTION WE ARE
GOING.

AND ANOTHER ISSUE
Notice how many accidents are around the
intersection at Sandy Bottom Rd. and Route 3,
Now notice the ones at Tiogue Ave. and
Reservoir. Comparing the two which one has more
accidents? Why do you think this is? We believe
the accidents are caused by H.S. kids. They are
new with driving and are dangerous directly and
indirectly.
All the places with the black spots show the
places that 5 or more accidents have occurred
since 1988
9
Some ways we can fix this are

• Add roads at certain spots for the high school
  kids to drive on.
• Warn Coventry High School students that driving
  along Sandy Bottom Road is a risk to them.
  Encourage them to use the alternative routes that
  we have provided.
• Add more street lights and/or signs, such as
  yield, stop, slow.

10
One way the High School students could travel to
and from the High School is

• If high school students would also use the route
  we are proposing through Wood Estates to Route
  117, rather than only using Reservoir Ave. to
  Tiogue to Sandy Bottom Rd., accidents would
  decrease due to less traffic.

11
An Alternative Route For The High SCHOOLERS Could
Be

• IF THE H.S. KIDS GO FOM ABOUT HERE TO ABOUT
  HERE AND THROUGH THESE ROADS THEY CAN AVOID 8-9
  MAJOR ACCIDENT SPOTS.
• ALL WE NEED IS TO SOME HOW SPEAK TO THEM THROUGH
  SCHOOL PRESENTATIONS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR
  PRESENT ROUTES TO SCHOOL.

12
This Is What We Think Should Happen

• WE COULD PRESENT TO THE HIGH SCHOOL
  STUDENTS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CURRENT ROUTES
  TO AND FROM SCHOOL, ASKING THEM TO PLEASE USE THE
  ROUTES WE HAVE PRESENTED ON THE MAP WE HAVE
  PROVIDED.

• WE ALSO THINK THAT
  
  WE SHOULD ADD STREET
  SIGNS, IN ORDER
  TO STOP
  ACCIDENTS AND TO WARN
  DRIVERS TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS
  
  WHILE DRIVING ALONG THOSE
  ROADS. SOME SIGNS
  WE COULD
  ADD THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL
  WOULD
  BE ,STOP, SLOW ,CAUTION,
  AND YEIL.D

Thought And We Hope You Enjoyed It.
