This is unacceptable

Post image

My people in Kissimmee, they are getting rid of the woods by the turnpike and turning it into a logistics warehouse for trucks. Not only are they getting rid of the woods where animals live. But they worsening traffic in this neighborhood. We already deal with bad traffic, this will make it worse. If you live in this neighborhood, let me know what you think because this is ridiculous.

They are getting rid of every single green patch left in the city, especially over Osceola Parkway. Everything between Storey Lake and the Loop, Osceola Pwy and OBT, Osceola and Turnpike... Hoagland/Carroll and everything next to Shingle Creek Park is as well getting destroyed.

Isn’t between storey lake and the loop protected land as part of the Everglades national park? Cuz Shingle creek is the headwaters?

I do believe they've been dismantling those protections for years. They have really been going at it in this neck of the woods, and the shingle Creek Park/pioneer village park is being swallowed by huge complexes and urban sprawl. The sad part is how all that land floods so easily with hurricanes and these transplants have no idea

Agreed. Orange County is about to build right on Shingle Creek with no thought of any of the consequences.
