Did not want this edge open because it might encourage kids to cut through. Streets do not connect and an open style wrought iron fence was installed along this edge. Word has it that there are less police patrols in the development than is typical of the area. There is social interaction in front of the houses. Residents really like development.
Development is much tighter than surrounding neighborhood.
ULI has published book on residential streets. It allows for 28 foot street with parking on both sides. Effort is being put into creating more variety in the exterior design of homes. Arlo showed a number of examples how this accomplished in different developments. Some are very much oriented to production, playing it safe.
