Northfield denies petition for EAW, but commits to conducting informal traffic assessment
At least one city councilor questioned the motives of his neighbors in their opposition to a townhome development, adding that the process they petitioned could cost the city tens of thousands during a time of increasing demands for a tightened budget.
