.....I thought you were complaining about national being a "pseudo highway" due to poor urban planning, and fixing that is what we were speculating about.

How would putting a park on that corner help with that at all. In fact if that park were popular and drew addition traffic to that area it would make the problem worse.

And if you put a park in the footprint of that property, that wouldn't "buffer the neighborhood" it would buffer, let's see, taking a look at the assessor map, exactly zero additional houses. The house immediately to the north and the house immediately to the west would still be road front, and their back yards intersect behind that corner house, and there are no other adjacent properties.

So it would provide absolutely no additional buffering.

​

So I'm not sure what you are getting at.

And I'm not trying to be difficult, I just, I hear people make these complaints all the time, and to actually fix what they want fixed the city would have to imminent domain literally hundreds of houses across the city and substantially redo the traffic system in town. Which yeah, if the city gets big enough someday we'd likely have to do that, but I don't think it's there yet, and for every 1 person mad about the roads, you'd have 1000 people made about the aggressive property snatching and expense and several years of construction needed to make it happen.
