As a current resident of the area east of the proposed development, my preference is for Option #2 with the larger park space, Community Center & Park facing the pretty & well-established Reynolds St. (rather than multiple townhomes). The Urban Square makes sense as a separate entity near the new townhomes in my opinion, keeping the community center away from the townhomes. The larger drop-off loop in Option #2 seems like it will keep potential car congestion more manageable as well. As a mother of a young child, I look forward to making use of the new park space and community center offerings and see it as a valuable use of current residents' tax dollars.
