I have been a resident of this area (Page Ave/Estuary Ct) since 1978. All at the hand of City Counsel: I have seen the unabated encroachment of developers overtake the natural beauty of the beach front. I have seen developers profit from quick, substandard construction (in many cases) of condos (not well inspected by City inspectors, I might add), I have seen the allowed expansion without much consideration to the natural infrastructure... and now we are faced with more... and City Counsel has to deliberate on a purchase of open space??? Essentially, our taxes are facilitating this morphing of our community due to the failure of CC to hear and respect our collective voices! I think we should place an injunction against any further development by charging that the appropriate infrastructure to support the traffic patterns is not being considered. We should petition the Commonwealth and Federal government that this over-development is causing traffic safety hazards as far out as the 64-Northhamption Blvd North exit, as well as the Northhampton Blvd/Shore Drive East exit. If you consider population density and and the fact that commuter traffic is typically comprised of single drivers, addition of [estimate] 1500 units in the Shore Drive corridor would conceivably add 1500+ cars. When was the last time you were caught in the "driving rebellion" that occurs in these two areas due to drivers cutting in line. The engineering of road access should be the responsibility of the developers; couple it to the cost of developing the properties. We have TWO choke points for traffic engineering and no potential solution on the horizon. When it does come, it will be funded by tax dollars... herein lies the issue. Developers, at the hand of CC are permitted to over develop. They profit and walk away. We are left with traffic issues, not to mention destruction of natural resources, and will eventually have a tax base increase to pay for the reconfiguration of access due to over development... Get the point? Who knows a good lawyer and has a video camera to video document the morning and evening log jam (aka business commute). Can anyone chase down the metrics of accidents created due to traffic backing up on 64? CC has thumbed their nose at the residents (and Navy) on more than one occasion on develepment related issues. It is time we send a message and a) Stop them in their tracks , b) vote them out of office. Open to dialogue, Ken
