What a joke. We have lived off Babcock St near the new Public for decades and our portion of Babcock street near Sunrise school has been nothing more than a cow path to drive on for years. It was barely acceptable before all the commercial and residential boom happened. Now it is a steady stream of fast driving dump trucks and impatient drivers speeding to get to the parkway. The city of Palm Bay is the armpit of Brevard county. They tore up tens of thousand of raw acres of undeveloped land and built low end track homes everywhere. No public green space for the thousands of people moving here. I now see the St John's Pkwy. is now going to be more cheap housing instead of job creating businesses or industries as once planned. Palm Bay doesn't have the funds to provide the infrastructure for schools, roads, utilities, fire or police departments expansion, yet they keep approving more low end track homes. Palm Bay could have beed the Viera of south Brevard but no, we just got more of what Palm Bay is. A low rent bedroom community with little quality of life space. John Doddato
