ReplyDeleteI like this statement. Affordable housing near locations where jobs can be found, existing utilities, and transportation is not a barrier.
No affordable housing or public transportation expansion. No need to destroy Union County and make it Mecklenburg County South. There should be a one year moratorium on building permits to allow infrastructure to catch up.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the above statement. I do not want to see Union county turn into a "mini Mecklenburg"
ReplyDeleteI do not like the "round abouts" in existing roadways, nor do I want to see anymore built. They are confusing!
ReplyDeleteHow are we to contend with the growth and education, the schools are over flowing, busing the children out into other schools isn't the answer, adding on to existing schools or building more is the way to go.
ReplyDeletePLEASE also consider the impact of the high volume/high speed exiting of traffic narrowed onto little Hwy74, and right into the heart of Marshville which is challenged enough (5 lights in a mile w/ dangerous?). Future possibility of crossing 74, passing to the south (fewer incoming roads), reconnecting east of M'ville?
