some people are under the impression that the City of Palm Beach Cardens
has increased it's d ^n^iTies and therefore the traffic burdens on roads,
when that is not the case, and that Palm beach County is correcting a

had adopted in the early 1980's. Mr. Shannon stated that was ccrrect
because in the past the County took the opportunity to look at the City's
plan and made decisions as to how that plan would be implemented. In the
future, the County will ask the City how the plan would be implemented and
determine more accurate figures. Mayor Aldred stated the Council would
like to have time to review these numbers and have the County come back at
a later date for further questions. Vice Mayor Feeney requested Mr.
