Residents of a quiet neighborhood gathered to express their concerns regarding the proposed development of King Oaks Townhomes, which is set to take place within city limits. During the meeting, community members highlighted the potential negative impacts on their peaceful environment, particularly the anticipated increase in traffic on their dead-end street.

The neighborhood, characterized by its walkability and lack of sidewalks, has been a safe space for children and seniors alike, with some residents even enjoying scooter races. However, the introduction of new townhomes raises fears about safety and property values, as well as environmental concerns related to wetlands and streams located on the property.

Community members are urging local officials to consider these factors carefully as discussions about the development continue.
