It causes me great concern when I see the amount of houses and apartments and other new facilities to house people that are in the planning or construction phases for Palm Bay. Not only does the thought of thousands of more cars on our already inadequate road system give me a sick feeling inside, but one other thing is rediculous! In the list of things being planned, there is only ONE school in the planning! Thousands of new dwellings….ten thousand more children! And only one new school to accommodate the influx. Florida seems to have a shortage of schools and teachers, already! I don’t have any school age children, but I can’t help but feel sorry for all those new children. My husband and I were almost in a serious accident, yesterday, because some idiot decided to pass us in an”S” curve , and also it is a school zone! He was within an inch of the drivers fender, and if a car would have been coming north, on the other end of the “S”, there would have been 3 cars in a head on crash! Add the idiots to the grid lock we all face during peak travel times, and we will surely need more hospitals, too! The list goes on and on! When will this disaster in the making quit? It’s time to ease back on these expansions, and get the basic needs caught up first!
This is NOT good news very poor planning has been done by those in charge! People get out and VOTE!
