The traffic on highway 436 and 17/92 is already very heavy. Wouldn’t more businesses and other economic development just make the traffic situation worse?
A. Our present traffic volume comes from people who pass through Casselberry on two main arteries. As surrounding communities change and attract more people, our traffic will increase even more. We already have to put up with this inconvenience; we should try to make Casselberry more of a destination rather than a thoroughfare. Attractive retail establishments and restaurants would help to make more of the through travelers and their money stop here. This economic vitality would benefit all residents.
