In October 2015, the city of Flowood commissioned plans for a new connector road that would have linked Oakridge Trail to Dogwood Place. The proposed road would have sliced through state Sen. Josh Harkins' land and connected the neighborhoods to a new traffic signal that would have been installed at Lakeland Drive to the east.

Melinda,
Mayor Rhoads asked us to take a look at a potential access for Dogwood and Oakridge coming across Josh Harkins track
of land. Enclosed for your review and comments is a draft for this connection. Ths is only for discussion purposes. Once
you have had a chance to review please contact the Mayor and lets arrange a meeting to discuss this design and any
concept the MDOT might have. We have not shared this with any of the homeowners and will not for the time being.
Should you or Amy need any additional information don't hesitate contacting me.
Thanks
Garry Miller,

| have not had a chance to ride out there to look around but attached is a couple of options based on the information
that | had available, | like Connector Road “A” because I believe that we would be far enough away from the Dogwood
entrance and we would not be crossing the ditch shown which is shown on the Quad as a blue line stream. Not much
required as far as permitting a crossing but still would be best not to cross it from a cost standpoint. AA couple of other
things to mention:
+ lassume that a new gate would be required and showed it in a location that would work if Harkins ever
develops the remainder of his property. We would need to work out in the agreement that no connections to
adjacent property is allowed on the Dogwood side of the gate. Could leave a 1’ strip there that is owned by
Dogwood or the City to accomplish this as well.
* show making the bend in Dogwood a “T” intersection (3 way stop) as | think this would be the safest way due
to the sharpness of that curve and Oakridge traffic having to cut across to use the new exit.
{can revise as needed. This drawing is to get the conversation going and comments from you. Let me know the changes
you would like to make or we can meet and discuss.Greg Bonds,
