Over development and traffic issues

The letters of objection to the City Park development keep rolling in - most concerns centre on over- development and traffic issues.

I share their worries:

Until the Strada, development on the north side of Ferry Road was largely suburban in design: town houses and relatively low rise flats. Strada, on the other hand, is densely urban and, because of the site topography, much higher. Plans to develop City Park ape the Strada and do not take their character from all other surrounding development. Add to this a bottle neck traffic egress and entrance on Pilton Drive and there are all the ingredients of an over -developed site.

I do not support the current proposals.
