Parents shared videos of gridlocked streets, arguing the existing roads can’t handle the added strain. While the developer touted affordable housing and proximity to the popular charter school, council members noted the project’s main exit would feed into Springcrest Road, already a bottleneck. In contrast, the council approved annexing 20 acres for 123 single-family homes, suggesting mixed-use zoning might have been a better fit for the apartment site.
