During a recent government meeting, community concerns regarding a proposed development project dominated discussions, particularly the shift from condos to multifamily homes on a 20-acre site. Residents expressed apprehension about the potential increase in traffic and the adequacy of infrastructure to support a larger population in the area.

One resident highlighted the already congested traffic conditions on Leonard Street during peak hours, questioning the necessity of multifamily housing when there is a demand for single-family homes in Walker. The resident's concerns were echoed by others, who emphasized the need for careful consideration of traffic impacts before proceeding with the development.

The commission addressed these concerns, clarifying that the current focus is on the preliminary plan for the condo development, which has already been approved. They noted that further decisions regarding the multifamily aspect would be made in collaboration with the Southern Development Group in the future.

Several commission members expressed their support for the project, stating that previous concerns had been adequately addressed. They acknowledged the importance of ensuring that traffic management and access to commercial sites are considered as the project progresses.

Overall, while there is support for the development, the meeting underscored the community's desire for transparency and thorough planning to mitigate potential traffic issues associated with increased density in the area.
