One solution may be a re-design of the project; dedicating this area as a natural wetland to be undisturbed and then adding more infill to another location.

Having seen some environmental assessments, I have some sympathy for this wildlife because frankly; some of the EA's are pretty pathetic.

That being said - as the dominant species on the planet, we too need places to live. It's all a matter of balance. One of the things people forget with many places full of concrete (which typically infill development like this is) is how to deal with storm runoff and natural environments. One complaint about this plan I read about is the lack of a major park - why not keep this as a natural area and encorporate it with some walkways?
