Council debates traffic chaos amid proposed housing development
a motion was made to limit new median cuts on Canyon Creek to prevent additional traffic congestion, concerns were raised during a recent government meeting regarding the implications of a proposed development in District 3. Council member JD McBride emphasized that if the condition is adopted, requests for additional entrances beyond the existing two would be automatically denied.

During the public hearing, resident Mr. Lytle expressed his apprehension about the potential for increased accidents and congestion if more access points were added to Canyon Creek. He highlighted the difficulties he faces when navigating the area, particularly during peak traffic times, and called for more thorough traffic studies to assess the impact of the proposed development.

Council member Susan Long, representing District 3, voiced her strong opposition to the project, citing traffic congestion as the primary concern for her constituents. She noted that the area already hosts 14 apartment complexes, with two more under construction, contributing to significant housing density and traffic issues. Long's remarks underscored the ongoing challenges faced by residents in managing increased traffic flow in a densely populated area.

The council is expected to deliberate further on the matter before proceeding to a vote, with the community's concerns about traffic management and safety at the forefront of the discussion.
