Bobby Street connectivity versus Western Hills neighborhood safety
Summary
The city wants Patterson Place Phase 2 to reserve a future road connection to Bobby Street, but Western Hills residents — several with kids near a park — packed the hearing against it. The commission threaded the needle: plat approved, but the connection stays paper-only right-of-way for now.

Impact analysis
Future residents get better connectivity toward Patterson Parkway, and the neighborhood keeps right-of-way options without through traffic today.
Neighbors fear speeding traffic near the children's park and small children without sidewalks if the road is ever built.
