Residents of Lee Road expressed significant concerns regarding increased traffic and environmental impacts from a proposed city subdivision during a recent government meeting. Becky Bell, a local resident, highlighted the existing traffic issues on Lee Road and requested a thorough traffic study, noting that the road is a county thoroughfare.

John Sophocles, a retired professor from Auburn University, echoed Bell's concerns, emphasizing that the anticipated traffic increase on Moores Mill Road could deter potential returnees to the area. He acknowledged the city's desire for development but cautioned that the growing pressure on county residents is becoming overwhelming.

Maureen Don, another resident, reiterated the traffic concerns and raised issues about potential noise pollution and environmental degradation from construction activities. She urged the governing body to consider the well-being of current residents in their decision-making process.

The public hearing concluded without further comments, leaving the future of the subdivision and its implications for local traffic and community well-being in question.
