Some Rockville residents are starting a campaign to keep a second affordable housing complex away from the city’s West End neighborhood, saying the project would add traffic congestion, crime and crowding to an already maxed-out area.

Members of the city’s planning commission gave initial approval last month for Beall’s Grant II, a 109-unit, mixed-income building that will sit across the street from affordable housing at the 60-unit Beall’s Grant apartments. Those opposed say they had no idea the project was even being considered.
