Perhaps thoraudio or someone else may know a little more info about this item. This sounds like another 'new urban type' development by the way it's being presented in this petition to the planning commission:

***************
The fact that ALDOT wants a traffic study for
future connection of this development to Taylor Road gives me the impression that this is a separate project.
Rezoning the land off of Talor Road for Hampstead has already been approved and is centered on connection to Taylor Road directly; it doesn't touch Ray Thorington Road. But this new development is centered on connection to Ray Thorington Road...both sides of it.
Hampstead is said to be built on just over 400 acres with about 1700 dwellings. This new project is said to be built on just over 1,444 acres with about 3500 dwellings.
Although Ray Thorington and Taylor Roads are in the same area of the city, is this a different development or simply an expanded Hampstead?
