It wouldn't be fair for other taxpayers to help pay a premium for the addition of this land to the inventory of parkland. I don't believe these lands are part of a publicly reviewed Open Space plan and until such time that they are included, local residents should be footing the bill.

If this development is the one I'm thinking about, I wouldn't support it on its urban design merits. However, the developer does have the right to develop their land once they adhere to the planning and development process. While this process is what stopped the transportation projects you mentioned, it paves the way for development in this instance.
