Yes, I'd be interested to know where the roads would join up, east and west, and also where that roundabout would be. In trying to compare the present map with the proposed plans, it looks as though it could be slap bang where my church, El Buen Samaritano, is in Callejon de la Lomas. If anyone can throw any light on this, I'd be very keen to know.

Linda.

A few high rises here and there will NOT be enough to cause the devastating effects to the winds as some are claiming. A wall of highrises like those along Anacaona Avenue in SDQ might do the trick, a relatively large area filled with highrises and development like in the Poligono Central of SDQ might do the trick, more gated communities of villas and homes in the Cabarete vicinity might do the trick; a few high rise buildings here and there will not do the trick.

A few highrises doesn't equates to square kilometers upon square kilometers of development.

Or am I wrong?
