Subject: Proposed development - Apt./Condo project at 4302 Ford Road
Dear Mr. Zdeba:
I am a 37 years resident of the Port Street neighborhood and am writing to express my concerns
& opposition to the proposed project on Ford Road.
This proposed development will cause numerous safety hazards to our neighborhood and to the
children who use the parks, bike path and sidewalks on a daily basis. The Port Streets is a family
oriented neighborhood and always has been and this proposed development will be totally out of
character for the surrounding neighborhood.
The entrance & exit to the proposed development in & out of the garage poses a severe hazard to
the safety of our children. There is limited visibility which makes it dangerous for anyone
passing this entrance either on the sidewalk or thru the bike lanes which will be an accident
waiting to happen.
The 3 story building will tower over the sports parks & look totally out of place in the
neighborhood. Because there will not be adequate underground parking, residents etc. will be
parking in the city lot thereby increasing the amount of traffic in the lot; again making it unsafe
for children going to the sports parks, walking and/or riding their bikes to CDM and for
bicyclists using the bike path.
Delivery trucks will be exiting backwards for the driveway and then be facing in the wrong
direction necessitating several attempts to be turned in the right direction, again endangering our
children and anyone else attempting to walk, bicycle or in any way move thru this area.
This development adds nothing to our neighborhood and will destroy the peaceful, calm and
child friendly environment that all of us who live in the Port Streets enjoy & which make it a
desirable place to leave.
We need you to reconsider this plan and find a better use of this land than adding more condos or
apartments to an already built out area.
Thank you.
