Freedom Crossings access changes on SW 60th Avenue
Summary
The developer of Freedom Crossings at SW 95th Street and SW 60th Avenue wants a new right-in-only entrance close to the SW 95th Street signal to serve a gas station/convenience store. The county engineer says it's too close to the intersection and creates conflict points; the developer's consultants say it reduces crashes by pulling right-turning traffic away from the conflicting southbound left turn. The road will come back for a public hearing before anything is final.

Impact analysis
No direct budget impact flagged, but removing the southbound left-turn movement later could expose the county to damages claims if the access is memorialized in the agreement.
Drivers heading to the new gas station and shopping center get easier, safer entry, and the busy left-turn movement at Entrance B sees less conflict.
Some drivers may see slightly slower speeds and more conflict points on SW 60th Avenue near the signal.
