<\/h2>\n\n\n\nDeveloper Whiting Preston Leaves No Stone Unturned<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The development of the Crossroads residential community is being undertaken by Whiting Preston. To ensure that the West Bradenton community gets enough press even before residential leasing begins it is being pitched as a \u201chybrid\u201d of Baldwin Park and Avalon Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Further, Whiting Preston is known to have hired the designers of Avalon Park for the first phase of development. The Crossroads development will thus sport a design code drafted by Cannin Associates, the urban planning consultants responsible for Avalon Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, a \u201chybrid\u201d community essentially means one that incorporates the best features of both Baldwin and Avalon, and Whiting Preston is leaving no stone unturned to achieve the same. At the outset, the three communities share a few similarities. They stretch over 1,000 acres and contain between 3,600 and 6,500 residential units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The hybridization however begins on the streets. The streets of Crossroads will sport the hub-and-spoke distribution paradigm that Avalon Park is celebrated for with the traditional grid distribution that is characteristic of Baldwin Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traffic has been a big problem for the residents of Avalon Park. Primarily because the six villages comprising the community are joined using a network of arterial roads in the hub-and-spoke model that has proven to be less than ideal during the rush hours. Whiting Preston may have to modify the hub-and-spoke model if it wants to prevent traffic problems at Crossroads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
