Catman, I live near BC (bought my house before BC was built), and while I do not have chickens wander into my yard, I do have rabbits and deer. :-) Last Friday, I saw one of the neighbor's cats playing chase with a young buck. Very cute!

This is why I live in a nice quiet place in a rural area of JOCO. I hate when I have to come into that area of Raleigh too much traffic and parking spaces are hard to find most of the time. It may take me 40 mins to get to work. but all you who live in the BC area how many of you can say you have a hen come into your yard everyday of a rabbit or a deer. You can have the urban sprawl.

Heaven forbid a little green space is left around Briar Creek.

I wish they would extend ACC BLVD across the 540 to Westgate to make it easier to get to and from the Brier Creek area.

Solely your opinion on how you see things and interpret reality. I have my opinion which is no less valid than yours. Who died and made you the opinion's sheriff?

Opinion plays no part in it. It's a FACT that there were dozens and dozens fewer shopping centers in the 40's. So, your comparison of then and now on this topic doesn't hold water.

I just hope they make the parking lots easier to navigate than the current one. They are a mess!

I am one who is tired of chain restaurants, stores, strip malls and new housing developments on every patch of grass the developers can find to build on. Raleigh has been my home for just about my entire life and I have grown weary of congestion and crowds everywhere I go. The planners, Wake County Board of Commissioners and the Raleigh City Council will continue to spread sprawl as long as their pockets are filled with cash from these projects. Cash comes before quality of life in Wake County now and I predict that future generations will rue the decisions that are being made now. I am leaving Wake County for greener and more tranquil surroundings in the near future and I don't think I'll be the only one to make this decision. The powers that be can live with the Frankenstein that they are creating.

I've lived in the Bethesda area (near Brier Creek) since the early 90s. The B.C. development has been the greatest thing that has come along in those 20 years. More please, faster please!

It seems to me that if these environmentalist protestors were around back in the late 40s, there would be no Cameron Village today.
