Thomas-
You are correct on several issues. There are old studies that have been done on taxpayer money that sit on shelves collecting dust. Many are conceptual design studies with no funding behind them to implement the design so they go no where.  Where you are making a mistake, these proposed studies, paid for by a third party, not the taxpayer, monitored and reviewed by our city and county officials, have the resources behind them to implement the plan so not to become another wasted exercise.

And yes, I do believe that the additional homes, generating more traffic will create the requirement that traffic be addressed as part of the approval process.  Without a large planned community, adding homes one at a time, the traffic issues will just continue to get worse, and then it will be the tax payer on the hook to solve it.

We have a housing shortage, we have traffic issues, lets all work together to create the best solution for our community, otherwise as you say, nothing gets done
