I suggest one also ponder an earlier post, "Council member Karla Brown and the referendum" dated 1/29/16. It was very insightful.

After reading that post and thinking about the " absolutely no traffic in my neighborhood" mantra from the Sycamore Height/Bridle Creek minority and Ms K Brown from Kottinger, I could not help but think this referendum is also a fight for their very own gated community but without the physical gate.

As for Mr Roberts maybe he wants to make his gate a bit taller and wider?

Bank roiling up to $50,000 to pay for outside signature gatherers was a down payment for this up grade to divert traffic off their streets onto another.

And using the false "road is a structure" argument, they create a physical barrier to access their neighborhood.

Please know I have absolutely no problem with gated communities - I just don't want to have pay for someone else's imaginary gate via a $247,000 referendum; risk loosing over 174 aces of open space; a possible taking law suit; nor deal with the traffic that they signed up for when they purchased their homes.
