Common Council will have another hot potato on its hands about whether to allow more housing to be built near Rockwood Park along Sandy Point Road. Consultant Brian White of A-D-I tells CHSJ News its all about making the area more of a people place and safer. Opponents fear to allow more housing near the park will eventually lead to residential development inside the park itself.
White acknowledges there is alot of distrust between some Saint Johnners and the city when it comes to development and there's a good reason for that considering the history of less than steller well planned and designed development. White believes if more people live in a particular area, their presence alone improves security.
