Neighbors at public forum raise traffic, noise and development‑notification concerns
Summary
At the public forum Cordell Hendler and others urged the commission to consider traffic congestion near the Hilltop Chevron approval, ongoing noise from recent proposals and better neighborhood notification when new projects are being considered.
During the public forum Cordell Hendler told commissioners he had reviewed the record of an earlier Chevron gas station approval in the Hilltop District and said traffic was not adequately addressed in that report. "Whenever I go up to Hilltop, it's like traffic is always, you know, is always backed up," Hendler said, adding that school‑pickup congestion and shoplifting concerns raised during prior hearings remain unresolved.
Hendler also raised noise concerns related to a Transmontane proposal and urged the commission to ensure neighborhood councils receive timely notice of projects so residents have input during early stages. The comments were part of a brief public forum; staff indicated there were no other in‑person or online speakers at that time and the commission moved on to the evening's public hearing.
