How do we respond to the influx of visitors they bring? How can we accommodate people who drive cars due to mobility issues? How much parking is enough? How much is too much? Should non-residential parking be available at no charge, or should it come at a cost to drivers? Should residential parking be by permit only? These the next are questions we must answer because they affect our quality of life, and these issues all converge in our consideration of the planned KSM development. There are huge philosophical considerations involved in this discussion.
