Regional Planning Commission Business Meeting - May 14, 2026
Kids in the neighboring community already walk in 22-foot-wide streets with no sidewalks, and the proposed bus stop sits on a de-acceleration lane along curving McGuinness Pond Road. Commissioner Paul Davis visited the site himself and refused to vote for the plan until the bus stop and second entrance questions are resolved in writing.
