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!!!

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 DON’T WANT TO
LIVE IN A PLACE LOOKING
LIKE THIS?
WELL THAT’S WHAT Coventry
IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE IF
WE KEEP HEADING IN THE
DIRECTION WE ARE GOING.
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.
AND ANOTHER ISSUE…
All the places with the black spots
show the places that 5 or more
accidents have occurred since 1988…
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.
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.
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.
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
Thank You Very Much For Listening To Our
Presentation, We Hope You Will Give It
Some Thought And We Hope You Enjoyed
It.
