Residents demand action on traffic chaos from new development

During a recent government meeting, community concerns regarding traffic congestion and infrastructure were prominently voiced by a local resident. The speaker expressed frustration over the lack of communication from homeowners associations regarding new developments in the area, particularly a proposed construction of 1,288 homes.

Highlighting the potential impact of this development, the resident raised alarm over the expected increase in vehicle traffic, estimating at least 1,288 new vehicles would be added to local roads. With many households owning multiple cars, the implications for already congested routes like Tippett Road and Piscataway Road were underscored.

The resident pointed out that traffic conditions have been problematic for years, especially during peak morning hours, where delays can extend significantly if one does not leave before 7 a.m. The speaker questioned the county's plans for addressing these traffic issues, particularly in light of proposed road widening on nearby Steed Road.

The resident's comments reflect a broader concern among community members about the balance between development and the existing infrastructure's ability to accommodate growth. The meeting concluded with a request for contact information for further discussions, indicating a desire for continued dialogue on these pressing issues.
