During a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding the potential impact of a new construction project on local foundations and traffic. Board members discussed whether the project would exacerbate existing issues or introduce new challenges, particularly in relation to increased vehicular traffic. One representative clarified that the project would not involve heavy trucks or additional loading that could compromise nearby foundations, emphasizing that the existing railroad infrastructure would remain unchanged.

Community members were invited to voice their opinions, leading to a significant inquiry from resident Roseanne Simpson. She expressed apprehension about the type of tenants the new apartment building would attract, questioning whether it would cater to low-income individuals, senior citizens, or college students. Simpson voiced concerns about potential drug-related issues, drawing from her experiences in New York City, and questioned the effectiveness of property management in maintaining safety and order in a larger residential setting.

The meeting highlighted the community's anxieties about the implications of new developments on local safety and infrastructure, reflecting broader societal concerns about housing and drug-related issues. As discussions continue, the board is expected to address these community concerns while moving forward with the project.
