Robert Edens questions Snow Creek community project decisions and traffic studies

During the recent Show Low City Planning and Zoning Meeting held on May 9, 2025, community members raised significant concerns regarding a proposed development in the Snow Creek area. Residents, including Robert Edens, expressed frustration over the lack of communication and clarity about the project's status, questioning whether decisions had already been finalized without public input.

Edens, a resident of Snow Creek, voiced his concerns directly to city officials, asking if the project was a "done deal." His inquiry highlighted a common sentiment among attendees who felt they were not adequately informed about the development process. The meeting format allowed for public comments, but officials were unable to respond directly during the discussion, which left some residents feeling unheard.

A key issue raised by Edens was the need for a comprehensive traffic study related to the proposed development. Residents are particularly worried about how increased traffic could impact their community, emphasizing the importance of thorough assessments before moving forward with any plans.

The meeting underscored the necessity for improved communication between city officials and residents, especially regarding developments that could significantly affect local neighborhoods. As the city moves forward, it will be crucial for officials to engage with the community, addressing concerns and ensuring that public input is considered in future planning decisions.
