It's easy to complain about traffic. I say "Taylor Road," and most of us think about vehicular congestion.

Last night at the city's planning commission meeting, a Halcyon resident made a pretty constructive point about Taylor Road, and traffic management in general. She said that she didn't understand why, at these public meetings, the proposals didn't include an assessment on how traffic would be affected if the development was built.

Any ideas? I'm no engineer, but I imagine that as Taylor Road gets developed, and even as Ray Thorington gets developed, traffic on the corridor between Vaughn and I-85 can only get worse. I also wonder if we only see the traffic through hindsight -- it used to be rural, so of course now we think it's a big problem to be creeping down to the interstate from Publix.
