I am glad it was blocked. Why do you want to add traffic to the lofts?

What about parking for residents only? They deserve that. How is that a problem? You can easily access the amenities from the public parking. Not sure why you would expect to be able to use it for a short cut.

Well, I was looking for an entrance from 44a and must of passed it or that entrance is now limited to Lofts traffic. Had to make a 3-point turn and swing over to Powell to get into Brownwood. Thank you, pre-judgers, for assuming I was invading the territory.

3-Point U-turns......................I remember that test from Drivers-Ed.

I get it some people don’t ike the apartments, but why all the negative comments , the ideas of some I’ve heard in here like driving from some far away village just to sit at a pool thinking your taking a space from someone who live there Is jr high school, I have friends there who love it , so you don’t that’s okay also , but you should ask yourself why you are so angry about something that others are enjoying

I can guarantee you that they were not built with low income residents in mind.

Take what you read here with a grain of salt.

If you don't live there you don't know the key pad code. Why do you need to cut threw there in a hurry

No they don't.

those were great stories with a moral. so much better than teletubbies kids watch on tv today

one of my favorites stories was the ant and the grasshopper which influenced me to be a saver which has paid off since we retired

the locked gates are to keep the inmates living there from the villagers. heard there is howling at night behind those walls

heard rentals are way below expectations. can’t compete with surrounding apartments

Yes, the gates are coded for security and to ensure residents have parking by their apartments which they may be paying for. There are many ways to get to the Square so I just don’t get why you’d have to cut through the apartment area.

I have asked a man running for a District 9 seat about who will pay for the maintenance of the parking lots at the Lofts. He has yet to find a person who knows. If the Developer pays OK. But if District 9 pays then I would think that this is a new policy that is not fair to the other residents of District 9.
