Residents in Red Brook voice concerns over traffic and affordable housing plans

Plymouth Planning Board members faced pressing concerns about traffic and housing during their recent meeting on December 18, 2024. Residents voiced their frustrations over increasing traffic density in the Red Brook area, highlighting the impact on surrounding roads and neighborhoods. One resident noted that the congestion leads to longer bus rides for children in Buttermilk Bay, urging the board to maintain the current traffic limit of 11.75.

In addition to traffic issues, the discussion shifted to the financial challenges facing Red Brook. A resident raised questions about the community's reported $10 million deficit, seeking clarity on how it would be addressed. The need for accountability from ADM, the developer responsible for affordable housing units, was also emphasized. Residents expressed concern over the lack of progress towards the completion of 13 promised affordable units, pointing out that there are still empty lots available.

The meeting underscored the community's desire for transparency and action regarding both traffic management and housing development. As the board considers these critical issues, residents are hopeful for effective solutions that will enhance their quality of life and address ongoing challenges.
