The <br />development is providing 15 parking nodes along the private streets. <br /> <br />The proposed development is across from the "swoosh" park in the middle of the Town Center. <br />This park will provide a variety of pedestrian and recreational opportunities. The development is <br />showing several small nodes of open spaces, mostly between buildings.
