1. Slow down the traffic. Make this a pleasure drive.
Advantages
Safety issues for motorists, bicyclists as well as pedestrians when one gets downtown.
Will reduce pass thru traffic and trucks.
Might allow future developments not to have such long deceleration lanes.
Disadvantages
Takes longer to get anywhere. Are you willing to abide by this? How slow? 45 miles? 35 miles per hour and 25 downtown?
Could deter travelers from coming through Bluffton.
a. Take this as a positive… It provides an opportunity to focus on attracting those who actually want to visit Bluffton, not pass-through and trucks. But this will require MARKETING!
And what you are currently doing as far as marketing is not enough.
2. Save the trees and canopies
3. Entranceways to development – Aesthetically pleasing
