Anne emphasized the need for improved communication from developers and local officials, stating that while she appreciated the developer's offer for a coffee meeting, only a handful of residents attended. She urged for broader outreach to ensure all community members are informed and can voice their opinions.
Despite acknowledging a 28% reduction in density proposed by the developer, Anne raised concerns about the impact of the project on the surrounding single-family neighborhoods and the potential for increased traffic. She called for collaboration with the Public Works department to enhance safety measures for pedestrians, particularly children, in light of anticipated traffic increases.
In response, Chairman Davis reassured residents that the new subdivision would include sidewalks and discussed potential traffic calming measures, such as speed bumps and narrower street designs, to mitigate safety concerns. The meeting underscored the importance of community engagement and the need for ongoing dialogue between residents, developers, and local government to address the challenges posed by new developments.
