MOUNT LAUREL

	Anthony Balkus, Mount Laurel, service company manager: "I don't think it's going to be much more populated. I think they stopped building a lot of new homes now.''
	Paula Morett, Mount Laurel, resident of 37 years: ``Traffic is horrendous as it is now. I don't know where you would build anymore, we're just so tight. There's not too much green left. I would like to see it stay the way it is. I just don't know where people are going to move, if there is anymore room... It's not my cup of tea as far as the traffic. I'd like to see them stop building. I think we have more than enough.''
	Cheryl Pringle, 42, Mount Laurel, registered nurse: ``I think it will be more populated. ... I'm hoping that as we continue to purchase open space that it won't be such that we'll seem to be on top of each other. This is an ideal area. The communities are very nice. The people seem nice. We are very diverse in the communities, so hopefully it won't be too bad, but it's desirable, so developers are just booming around here.''
	Becky Price, 46, owner of a medical billing company: ``I think the green space program is going to be helpful. ... But it's already a lot different than it was 10 years ago when I moved in - it's a lot more developed and I guess it'll be that much more developed. Hopefully, it will still be a nice place to live.''
	Audrey Johnson, Mount Laurel, swimming instructor, Jersey Wahoos: ``I think there are going to be more houses, a little more crowded, more shopping strips...''
