More Apartments, Traffic Unnecessary on Seminole Blvd., Readers Say

Some Largo Patch readers shared their thoughts about the City Commission decision to enter a development agreement that would bring a 260-unit apartment complex to the Briarwood Travel Villa.

More apartments and the traffic they will bring is not needed on already clogged Seminole Boulevard and Ulmerton Road intersection, readers said.

"Greed over humanity. Sad sad day in Larghetto," SW Largo Watch/Cleanup said, adding: "Developers should take that $$ to buyout, kick out the crap and fix the shadrack apts scattered throughout Largo. Home values have dropped because of vacant homes and slumlord apt complexes."

Terri: "Yeah we need more damn apts in Largo! Traffic is bad enough in that area. Come on Govt. really!?? I know you're all about the dollar but try thinking about the residents for once. City of progress?"

Other readers shared their thoughts on the Largo Patch Facebook page:

"Oh great. More dope head apartments that are overpriced and more traffic on seminole blvd. Whoo hoo. NOT," Amy Wilhelm said.

"What happened," Margaret Ericksen said. "Didn't any of them listen to the residents at Briarwood???"
