> the last thing that area and part of 108 needs is more traffic

I agree, and it's sort of a double-edged sword here

One of the best ways to combat urban sprawl, and traffic, is creating high-density housing, with good pedestrian accessibility, and good public transportation

Public transport in HoCo leaves something to be desired, to say the least

On every other side of the Dorsey Hall Village Center, there was already high-density housing instead of single-family homes with yards, and it has been that way for decades

On the bright side, it's near a center that has a number of essential needs, which increases walkability at least a little bit and could reduce traffic in that regard

I agree 100%. The value of green spaces is often underrated IMO

It remains to be seen if the developer has any sense of respect for the value green spaces provide to a community

I think it's probably as responsible a spot as any to develop, but without improvements to pedestrian accessibility and better public transport, traffic will inevitably become more challenging to deal with
