Our Solution to Stopping Sprawl… Stop Paving Roads
I found this interesting in the Daily Progress:
“If we’ve got money to spend, we’ve got to spend it on improving the development area, because that’s where we’re asking people to move,” Morris said. “We are also trying to discourage continual development in the rural areas. If you pave a road, people are going to use it.”
It seems there are some wackos in our midst who think we should be DRIVING on our roads.
We published an article on the Planning Commission’s discussion in early December and will have something on the Board of Supervisor’s follow-up from their January 9 meeting. As I write this, they’ve just decided on an additional work session on this topic, pushing back the public hearing until their second meeting in March.
