Hwy DD is already overly busy and there are too many developments and traffic signals. The rural beauty is diminishing and I believe extending LSLB to DD will spell the end of it. No more for-profit growth. Smart growth or now growth at all.

I live less than a mile from the end of lake at Louis blvd, the final round-a-bout. The traffic will take away from our community. Commercial real estate will follow

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed new road that is set to impact our community. This development poses significant risks to the safety and well-being of our children living in the surrounding subdivisions. Increased traffic will not only create dangerous conditions for our kids as they walk and play in the neighborhood, but it will also disrupt the peaceful environment we cherish. Additionally, the construction of this road threatens the local bat population, which plays a crucial role in maintaining our ecosystem. Bats help control insect populations and contribute to the health of our environment. The loss of their habitat due to this development could have long-lasting effects on our local wildlife and biodiversity.

I am concerned about the effect on the wetlands and green spaces and the added traffic that our infrastructure is already struggling with

The unchecked and invasive spread of developer-led suburban sprawl is a disgrace. The values, serenity, and beauty of rural St. Charles county deserves to be preserved. We have enough "custom" homes on postage stamp-sized lots. Go build somewhere else.

I strongly oppose the proposed extension of Lake St. Louis Blvd. from Paul Renaud Blvd. to Highway DD due to the following critical concerns:

There is no justification for this road. No public studies or data show that it is needed or will improve traffic. The extension does not relieve congestion on Hwy N or Hwy DD, and no community outreach or transparency has been provided.

The project will destroy 8.5 acres of woodlands, displacing deer, beavers, coyotes, and birds. A protected preservation area, including a natural spring and stream, will be irreversibly damaged. Three endangered bat species inhabit this area, and their displacement could increase mosquito populations, elevating the risk of Zika virus and other diseases. Increased pollution risks from chemical runoff, trash, and soil erosion will degrade water quality.

Flooding and soil stability risks are a major concern. A proposed channel realignment through an 8 x 10 drainage box will not prevent flooding. Elevating the road will not eliminate flood potential, as the area is prone to overflow. Erosion from the raised roadbed will require unnatural stabilization, harming the ecosystem.

The extension threatens historical and cultural sites. A 19th-century historically eligible site lies within the planned route. American Indian artifacts and remnants of an African American settlement could be disturbed.

Safety concerns for residents and children are significant. The road will create dangerous hillsides and steep drop-offs, increasing the risk of serious injuries. Noise pollution from traffic will disrupt residential areas. Removal of trees will exacerbate extreme winds, leading to increased property damage.

Crime and security risks will rise. When Paul Renaud Blvd. opened, burglaries increased. This extension will make neighborhoods more vulnerable.

This road is unnecessary and poses serious environmental, safety, and security risks. It will not benefit traffic flow and will permanently damage a protected natural area.

-Flooding probability to homes in the low-lying valley from all the new concrete surfaces
-Endangered species of bats that call the valley home and control mosquitoes in the area.
-Water quality of the area including the natural springs
-Pollution and litter consistent with a new roadway
-Destruction of the Hopewell African-American Community historic cabin remains
-Specific conservation concerns / Habitat loss
-I am asking for a public hearing from the USACE with my comments.
