City Commission - May 28, 2026
The approved 613-home development is projected to add about 5,400 daily trips to roads that are already failing, especially Marsh Road. The city says developer-funded improvements — a roundabout, Williams Road upgrades, and regional projects like New Independence Parkway — will mitigate the impacts, and no homes can be occupied until the parkway opens or January 1, 2028.
City Commission - May 14, 2026
The biggest development on the board in years: 613 homes at low density along Johns Lake, with a new city park replacing a school site, a required roundabout, and road upgrades. Traffic on Marsh Road dominated public comment — neighbors worry about Lake County commuters, and commissioners floated tolling and traffic counters before the final May 28 vote.
