Opposed the black olive project because despite the zoning codes, the developers would be destroying
what was already there. The design did not take into account the area. Traffic is congested and will get
worse once this project is approved. Existing infrastructure was discussed as an issue as well.

Traffic is a problem and employees are having problems finding parking and felt that more studies and
solutions need to be found to allow people to have parking. Parking needs to be more attractive to bring
people in and allow them to use it.
