Rossmore Secondary Plan: Open House Comments

• “Policies appear to be appropriate for the community – especially for

the NDA.”

• “Maps are clear.”

• “Good plan! Need to get on with development.”

• “Dislike – High density residential. Like – slower speeds, roundabout,

sidewalks – it creates a more inviting atmosphere. Like –

recommendation on design. Not sure about the additional roads.”

• “One opposed to roundabout… expensive way to slow down traffic.”

• “I like the Plan. Eventually this size of community will require a water

tower.”
