During a recent town meeting, residents expressed concerns regarding communication and infrastructure issues related to ongoing development projects. One resident, Jim, highlighted frustrations over the lack of proper notice for an executive session, suggesting that notices should be more visibly posted to ensure public awareness. The town attorney confirmed that all notifications were compliant with Indiana code.
Another resident, Chuck Danbaum, raised alarms about traffic congestion resulting from new housing developments. He shared a personal experience of being stuck in traffic on 300 South, where he counted 47 cars in line during peak hours. Danbaum emphasized the need for infrastructure improvements to accommodate the anticipated increase in traffic from proposed developments, warning that without adequate planning, the situation could worsen significantly.
The discussion underscored a growing concern among residents about the balance between development and the town's infrastructure capabilities, with calls for more proactive measures to address traffic issues before further construction is approved.
