The messed up thing is that part of the traffic problem comes from the willy-nilly sprawling development we had. This makes the population even more divided. Which in turn makes people more likely to be rude on the road. It also is a huge obstacle to having a useful mass transit system...

I had hoped that a Holden administration might be different but there is little sign of that.

Well, at least Kip has the Green Light program, which is the most ambitious road program I've seen for years. Other than the program that resurfaced just about every subdivision street with a sales tax we passed in 1990 - one of the few taxes that has been worth its money.

The only thing I do not like about connecting neighborhoods is the fact that some people just race through the other neighborhood with no regard to anyone or anything. That is probably the main reason people do not like the connections of the neighborhoods. I disagree with the post that said there is no sense of community here. I feel BR has agreat sense of community with neighbors being very friendly towards one another. Me and almostt all of my coworkers know their neighbors at least by name and that was all new to me coming from an area where no one knew what their neighbors even looked like. Getting back to connecting neighborhoods I do not mind the connection, just respect the other neighborhood you are cutting through!

Wimbledon has a conectivity agreement with The Settlement at Willow Grove only. The connection at Center Court to The Settlement at Willow Grove is already in place and accessable.

However, the majority of Wimbledon Estates residents do NOT wish to connect to Perkins Rowe, nor have any existing streets closed.
