In case you missed it...

A fairly sizable development was given the green light by the planning commission last night.

It's an interesting dilemma. The people who live downstream didn't cause the stormwater run-off problem. But they have to live with it. If you look at a topo map you can see that mistakes were made when Midview Road and Meadowlark Drive were developed. The road goes right through the 100-year-flood plain. You don't need to be an engineer to understand that speeds up the water movement.

I talked to several folks this morning though who read the article and wanted to voice their concerns about the traffic volume that's already hitting Skeet Club Road and Eastchester Drive in that neighborhood.

Thoughts?

Addendum: Oh yeah, I'm sorry the Blog has been so quiet. I've spent much of the last week experiencing my first furniture market. It was interesting to say the least.
