There is already a petition and lots of comments against the visioning statement attached to the staff report going on November 5th.
Typical comments (starting around page 16):
"the existing proposal will destroy the value of homes"
"our roads won't support the increase in traffic volume...this is not King St!"
"having commercial businesses on the ground floor is bad because there is no foot traffic...this is a pure residential area. Would create noise."
"roads won't support the increase in traffic volume"
"...no stores, no pubs, no coffee shops!!"
To put it a different way, predictions are correct, as usual.
*sigh*...I cannot understand these people who would rather live next to a burned out factory building for no other reason than that's what they live next to now and change is scary.
