The King’s Grant Community, the largest in the city of Fayetteville, attracts hundreds of Trick-or Treaters each year.
Last year, we had an estimated 800-1,000 trick or treaters. Shawcroft Road was so backed up, it took residents 30-40 minutes to get home after turning onto Shawcroft from Ramsey – which normally takes me 2-4 minutes depending on where you live in the community.
To help resolve the issue, the Kings Grant Homeowners Association this year has hired off-duty police officers and is asking resident volunteers to help with traffic control.
Cedar Falls Baptist Church next to the entrance to the community is allowing parking space and our Community Park on Burnside will be another parking area. The gated community in the rear is allowing the gates to be open for traffic flow out of the community.
We want to make surrounding communities who travel to our community to be aware of the problem and help us with smooth traffic flow. I am sure other neighborhoods are experiencing similar issues, but none to the degree of Kings Grant.
Thank you for your consideration in helping us get the word out – that could also serve as a model for other communities dealing with similar issues.
I was asked by the KG HOA to take the lead on getting the word out as I previously served as the Association’s Communications Director.
