    "All around nice place to live but it gets very busy and the traffic is getting pretty bad as they open up more bars, restaurants and shops. They aren't adding more places to park or accounting for the rise in traffic. I've been seeing more and more accidents on Hertel than I've ever seen living here. And they drive and pass each other like lunatics. Getting scary to cross the street."
