When I try to cross Morse to get to my mail station in the off-season, I usually have to wait for 15-20 cars to pass by before I can pull out. In the Winter, it's not unusual to have over 50 cars pass. It's simply dangerous, and the developer doesn't seem interested in any improvements there. I'm hoping that the local authorities will be required to hold public hearings before issuing any construction permits. In my opinion, there should be at least a traffic study by a credible agency, and an environmental impact study as well. This is my neighborhood, and I believe that my neighbors and I deserve to have some input on a plan such as this.

The truth of the matter is, if someone’s ox isn’t being gored, most don’t care about yours.
It will require residents in the affected area pressing to change the situation and even then, good luck.
