Navigating local roadways will become a nightmare once all the new apartment complexes are complete. These roadways were never designed to handle the increased traffic that have we will have to endure this coming winter. I’m hoping the powers at be have a plan to address these issues before they become unmanageable.
One problem I see with all the expansions is that people south of 44 are having problems with services like a reliable company mowing your yard, landscaping, and the list goes on. There are not enough people that want to work or even do the work. The lead time to get even material in or a qualified contractor is difficult.
