East Brainerd project will be a headache

I cannot believe that the Planning Commission endorsed the “new” proposed use of the former East Brainerd Elementary School property. Are you kidding?

About 210 apartments, which at a minimum is 210 more vehicles pouring onto one of the busiest roads in Hamilton County. Have any of them been on East Brainerd at any time of the day, other than 10 p.m. to 4 a.m.?

The backup of traffic heading to the intersection of East Brainerd and Gunbarrel is horrendous, yet we are going to add more cars, plus retail? Does no one have any common sense?

More than 300 East Brainerd residents asked to be heard just days before this announcement, but once again, deaf ears. We need to curb some growth until infrastructure catches up.
