Residents voiced significant concerns regarding traffic and parking issues during a recent government meeting, highlighting the challenges faced by local communities. Rose Lubin, a long-time resident of 18 Eric Court, expressed frustration over the increasing traffic on Ersan Road, which she must navigate daily. Lubin noted that the town's growth has exacerbated the situation, making it difficult for her to safely exit her neighborhood, particularly during peak hours.

The meeting's chair reminded attendees that discussions on traffic would be addressed in a future session, as traffic engineers were not present to provide testimony. However, Lubin's comments underscored a broader issue regarding the impact of local developments on existing infrastructure.

Another resident, Drew Weingart, sought clarification from the architect regarding changes to a building project, specifically its height and footprint. The architect confirmed that while the overall height of the building would remain unchanged, the square footage had been reduced by approximately 2,200 square feet due to modifications in the design.

Concerns about parking were also raised, particularly in relation to the nearby high school, where residents noted a lack of adequate parking spaces following recent expansions. The chair reiterated that discussions about parking related to the high school were outside the scope of the current application.

As the meeting progressed, residents continued to express their worries about the implications of ongoing developments on their neighborhoods, emphasizing the need for careful consideration of traffic and parking solutions in future planning.
