Bonanza Drive Redux - This Time In Superior

The ol "smoky back room" discussions (to quote an earlier thread here) have resurged again, this time in Superior where Old Town residents have been angry to learn their presumed mellow neighborhood could actually be connected to new development. And all in violation of previous verbal agreements that such connections wouldn't be made.

Quotes from residents in the Superior Observer include "you’re cutting us off at the knees," and "the death of Old Town Superior.”

Like the resistance to a Bonanza Drive/Vista parkway connection in Erie, the reaction to an older neighborhood being connected to a newer neighborhood - in the same town - comes across as pretty, well, un-neighborly.

Growth happens.

(If you're lucky.)
