As a Lee Dr. homeowner, I am always both worried and amused by the calls to widen it (and destroy the character of the street by taking out all of our oaks). I would understand, however, if I thought it would help. But whenever I am backed up in Perkins Road traffic (which seems to be worse than Lee), very few of the cars are turning on to Lee - most are continuing on Perkins or turning on to College. I really do not thing adding lanes to Lee would move people any quicker.
On the immediate issue, I am concerned, but not opposed to Rouzan. Examining the very real issues of traffic and sewers, however, just makes sense. It was clear listening to the meeting last night that most opponents have thoughtful concerns about the impact of this "Traditional Neighborhood" on our truly traditional (for B.R.) neighborhood. No - the name calling is not useful. (Neither, btw Mr. Ball, is labeling people NIMBYs in order to easily dismiss their concerns.)
I hope the committee will begin a truly constructive dialogue to address some of the traffic/sewer issues. It was the wisest move for the Council to make last night. No, Mr. Spinoza should not have to wait forever to begin his development; but another month will not hurt a bit and may make things best for residents of Rouzan and the existing neighborhoods after he leaves to go count his profits.
On What now?

About time this was approved. The feds gave this much more attention than many much larger mergers.
