Traffic?

Listen, like nearly everyone in this township, we too are opposed to the Kings Mill project.

That said, it seems a little disingenuous for the town to be carping about potential traffic nightmares if Kings Mill moves forward when they totally ignored the concerns of our nationally recognized traffic expert when he testified that if a grocery store is built at the Corner of Sullivan Trail and Uhler Road there will be a 10,000% increase in traffic.

If the township really wanted low traffic producing new tax revenues, they would have solicited a hotel, a bakery, an upscale restaurant, a Barnes and Noble, etc., etc. All of these examples are desperately needed, would have provided jobs, and great tax revenues.

If we're gonna worry about traffic, please, lets be consistent.
