Summary
118 new homes will funnel traffic onto Nogales Road (unpaved) and toward the dangerous Pasilla/528 intersection. Neighbors packed the hearing asking for paving, signals, or an entrance off Idalia instead. The developer's traffic study found no failing intersections, and Aurora/Vatapa will be paved.

Impact analysis
The developer paves Aurora and Vatapa to the subdivision edge, but Nogales stays dirt — the city keeps footing the grading bill.
Future Tampico homeowners and the developer gain 118 new lots and improved access roads.
Neighbors on Nogales and Pasilla face more dust, traffic and risk at an already dangerous 528 intersection.
