7 months agoSafety Concern
A commercial development will be under construction at the NE corner of Parker Road and Hess Road soon. There will be another Urgent Care facility along with another strip mall. The town of Parker has approved commercial traffic to turn off of Parker Road into a private neighborhood and then into the commercial development and it will be during the daytime and at night. There will also be additional traffic from other entrances throughout the neighborhood. I have never seen or heard of commercial traffic through a neighborhood before. This raises concerns of safety. Our HOA has presented this to the town council who appear to not be concerned. School buses pick up and drop off children daily and people from the neighborhood walk their dogs as well as joggers in this current quiet neighborhood. Now there will be a lot more traffic throughout the neighborhood and an accident is just waiting to happen.
7 months agoA better assortment of restaurants, please!
My family will often make the 15-minute drive to Castle Rock or Aurora Southlands and Cornerstar for no other reason than to enjoy a sit-down meal someplace other than the two or three Parker restaurants that we frequent. There is no reason why Parker can't have a larger variety of eateries (local or national-chain). For example: Smashburger, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Rockyard Brewing Co, Mad Greens, Parry's Pizza, Dazbog Coffee
7 months agoA restaurant & bar with a live music venue & dance floor.
There are few places in the area that allow for a dining & entertainment experience. Would love a cool, casual atmosphere where I could have a glass of wine or a meal while listening to local bands and, maybe, even cutting loose on the dance floor.
7 months agoAVOID FREE STANDING ERs
Free standing ERs are one of the worst things possible for local communities. They’re based on deceptive billing practices that leave regular families struggling to cover their medical costs. A treatment for strep that would cost you $35-$50 Out-of-Pocket at one of the numerous urgent care clinics throughout Parker would cost you $1,200-$1,700 at a Free Stansing ER Out-of-Pocket. Why? Because insurance companies won’t accept them? Why not? Because they don’t want to pay $1,200-$1,700 for the same services offered through an urgent care of regular doctor for a fraction of the costs. Free standing ERs are responsible for Texas having the highest out-of-pocket healthcare costs in the ENTIRE COUNTRY!
