To the other points about traffic/congestion, are there any studies on the avg commute length/destination of a typical Palm Bay resident? Specifically as it relates to all of the people I personally know commuting up to the cape and even the Orlando metro ... I just don't see how that paradigm can continue.
Unbelievable! In the 13 years that we have been in Palm Bay, travel time to anywhere in Brevard County has doubled! Traffic is horrendous now. And you want to add more apartment complexes and communities? Peak travel times are so backed up, it takes 3 or more of the light rotations to get through the stop and go lights. Ambulance drivers have so much congestion to deal with, and folks who don’t get out of their ways. I don’t want to be the one who desperately needs the ambulance and one car won’t let through. The condition of the roads is a shame. Babcock and Malabar are the main thoroughfares. Babcock needs to be at least, a four lane, for the traffic it has now! Add more subdivisions on it, and even that won’t be enough to handle the increase. And why aren’t the builders of these new housing developments being made to pay for the construction of adequate roads that they are impacting? Good grief, Brevard. We’re in the 21st century! The roads are still in the 19th century!

There is NO infrastructure in place for this type of development! I cannot believe this is even being proposed!
