Coming from someone who used to work in the senior care industry, Sativa is an excellent choice.

Heard them in Southern Hills, sounded decently close.

65 in Southern Hills. I wish we’d make a bigger push as a neighborhood to do something like Rountree. We’d love to have that many kids.

I don’t disagree with your “better” hills to die on, but I think opposing this development is the first step in the direction of those hills. It tells our city council, our mayor, our Chamber that we have expectations for development in our town and that if they’re not going to help us build a better city of their own volition, we’ll demand it from them. I think allowing this measure to pass condones lazy development.

It significantly changes the view from the park and will have a detrimental effect on the park’s storm water management. I’m not sure how that enhances an area that’s enjoyed by more than just the Galloway neighbors.

Wendy worked extensively with the neighborhood and conservationists to preserve the mature tree cover and design an area that was cohesive with the neighborhood. That’s what GVNA is asking for, not no development ever.

The representatives of Galloway Village Neighbors are not NIMBYs, they’re specifically opposing THIS development due to the poor drainage solution, significant increase in traffic, lack of tree conservation, and change to the view from the park. They recognize that this area will be developed, but they want a more cohesive development that preserves the culture of the neighborhood.
That’s not to say there aren’t NIMBYs in Galloway opposing the measure, but the big push to vote no on Question 1 as it stands is to preserve the park from an inconsiderate and poorly planned development in order to allow a better suited development to take its place.
I’m voting no on Question 1 because I know our city deserves and can do better.
