The city council officially rejected the drive-thru rezoning request today. This neighborhood is safe for our kids because you refused to back down. We proved that the commitment made to our families back in 1979 actually matters.
April 6, 2011
Final supporters
However, in keeping with the original agreement made with us by Crosland in 1979, we DO NOT support any fast-food drive-thru restaurants on the property.
The likelihood of traffic injury to area schoolchildren is of much greater risk today, due to sharply increased traffic flow on Park Road.
The primary entrance to Quail Corners, Hamlin Park Drive, is already very congested due to traffic into and out of the center, and would only be made worse by adding a high volume drive-thru restaurant.
As City of Charlotte planning staff has pointed out in it's official analysis of the rezoning request, the addition of a fast-food drive-thru restaurant at Quail Corners is inconsistent with the South District Plan.
Therefore, we ask the Charlotte City Council to uphold its legal duty to reject this portion of Crosland's rezoning request based on its obligation to follow land use planning guidelines, in addition to respecting the overwhelming safety and livability concerns of members of the Park –Quail Community.

Seeing the count climb fills me with hope for the safety of the kids walking near Park Road. Please take a moment to send the link to your neighbors so we can hit our goal and show the council that our community is united.

the congestion at hamlin park is already crazy. adding a fast food place is just asking for an accident.
KEEP THE TRAFFIC DOWN. THIS IS A NEIGHBORHOOD NOT A HIGHWAY
way too many kids walking near that intersection for a drive thru. just bad planning.
traffic on park road is already a nightmare. dont need more cars backing up into the street.
