Council Approves West Windsor Extension

Last night, the Town Council voted unanimously to reverse the decision of Planning & Zoning Commission and approve the West Windsor extension. The option to extend West Windsor Dr to FM 2499 without connecting to Windsor Dr has been added to the Town's Master Transportation Plan.

Thank you to everyone who worked hard against this project. Because of your efforts to inform the community, many residents spoke against this project. Though a few spoke in favor, it was clear the residents of the surrounding neighborhoods were against extending West Windsor. I don't believe that having more signatures on the petition or more people speaking against the project would have swayed the minds of the Council. As the saying goes, you just can't fight City Hall.

Now that it is part of the Master Transportation Plan, the West Windsor extension will be built when the owner develops the property. Given the size of the property and its current zoning for 1 acre lots, the owner felt that building the West Windsor extension through the middle of the property would render it undevelopable. Only time will tell if that is so. Hopefully, we'll have many years to enjoy our area as it is now without the West Windsor extension.
