It goes against the forward green planning that was the original creative vision of Port Blakely. Even when being green was not yet as stylish as it is now, they planned for a community which was based on walking. Do the folks in the Highlands who were surveyed on this understand the concept of the community??</p><p>If you need gas, it means you're leaving the area and can just as easily stop by one of the stations already in exhistance within several miles. One could even, if need be, put your car in neutral and just about glide down the hill to one! </p>elizabethpanniSun, 19 Jul 2009 13:59:57 -0000
