The short version
Residents are fighting to preserve a long-standing golf-course community and open-space corridor connected to Brooker Creek. Their concern is that a mitigation-bank proposal could be used as a first step toward major land alteration and possible future residential development, while flooding, wildlife, traffic, and neighborhood impacts are reviewed too narrowly.
