Many have made their voices heard at block captain meetings, MCA meetings, and SUN meetings.  \u201cWe already get enough accidental traffic,\u201d says Eastbridge resident David Clark.  \u201cPeople ignore or don\u2019t see the sign right now, so imagine if they opened it up and encouraged people to come straight through on their way to Aurora.\u201d\nThat\u2019s exactly what will be happening in the next couple of months when Havana and Iola will wind right into our rougher, less refined neighbor, Aurora.  \u201cFirst, we are allowing them to hop on a bus right in the middle of our community,\u201d says resident Kyle Streff.  \u201cNow, we are going to allow them to drive in and out without any type of inconvenience or <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/keeping-aurorans-out-eawe-begins-construction-of-security-gate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">barrier<\/a>?  This is ridiculous?\u201d\nResidents fear that the already busy road will become the main access for Aurorans to access their homes.  The Stapleton Transportation committee recently completed a study, and the results are quite alarming to residents in the area.  The study includes but is not limited to the following information:\n\n\n<ul>\n\t\n\n<li>Auto theft expected to go up 400%<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>Home invasions to rise 230%<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>Police chases (may include helicopters) to increase 220%<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>Shootouts to go up another 500%<\/li>\n\n\n\t\n\n<li>Gang related tagging to increase 150%<\/li>\n\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\nThese numbers are quite concerning to resident Sarah Nuss.  \u201cMaybe not having <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/nra-generously-donates-500-firearms-to-local-schools-teachers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gun legislation<\/a> isn\u2019t such a bad thing,\u201d says Nuss.  \u201cIf the city of Denver and Forest City are not taking the necessary steps to protect my family, I will.\u201d  SUN is working alongside the MCA and Forest City to work out a resolution to make Eastbridge residents more safe.  Some ideas include discounts on bullet-proof glass, as well as hiring a full scale <a href=\"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/posts\/stapletons-crossfit-women-join-together-to-create-stapleton-security-force\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">security team<\/a> from 6PM-3AM.  The community has yet to make any final decisions, but vows to protect itself from Aurora residents driving to their homes.\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[113],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3512","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-54","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3512"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3512\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
