High density and terrible traffic congestion are two main issues faced by The Strand. Even though the development is just half-completed, it has attracted a large crowd into the area. It is hardly to find an empty parking at most times. As there will be a boutique and strip mall at the centre of the development, both problems seem to get worse.
