During a recent government meeting, community members expressed significant concerns regarding safety and development plans in their neighborhoods, particularly around Greenleaf and Evergreen Parks. Residents highlighted the lack of visibility and safety for children waiting at bus stops, with calls for improved pedestrian safety measures, such as stop lines and speed bumps.

One resident suggested reallocating funds initially designated for Greenleaf Park to enhance Evergreen Park, where more children currently play. This proposal sparked a discussion about the need for a focused plan to address community safety and park improvements.

Tensions rose as residents voiced frustrations over the developer's absence and lack of communication regarding their concerns. Several attendees reported that their detailed lists of issues had gone unaddressed, leading to a call for a more organized approach to meetings with the developer. A resident emphasized the importance of having a smaller, more manageable group to facilitate discussions and ensure that community voices are heard.

The panel acknowledged the residents' concerns and agreed to table the discussion for another month, promising that a meeting with the developer would be scheduled to address the community's issues. The next planning meeting is set for the third Wednesday of the month, where residents will have another opportunity to voice their concerns and seek resolutions. The motion to table the discussion was passed unanimously, indicating a collective desire for continued dialogue and collaboration between residents and developers.
