Oppose the Destruction of an Ann Arbor Urban Forest

Barbara Monahan 730 Barclay Court

Destruction of natural forest habitat. Significant increase in traffic on an increasingly busy Glazier Way. Absurd density. Demonstrates the greed of the developer.

Environmental concerns

Kim Allen Winick

To protect natural features.

Lucas Weintraub

I've walked the path in those woods a lot and love it for the nature that exists there. Kids from the surrounding neighborhood have built forts back there. It's a cool place to just walk through the woods a little bit and escape from the busy roads and developments right next to it.

Laura Ziemelis

This forest should remain intact, not destroyed. Development of this area will result in negative impacts on the Huron River and surrounding community.

J G Ellis

In addition to destroying a forested area, this project would add dozens of cars entering a very steep section of Glazier Way. This street is already a hazard in the winter, icy, steep and slippery. More cars will lead to more accidents.

Sandra Simon

The forest is needed for our ecosystem. The increased traffic would greatly change the neighborhood and cause safety issues

Linda Bennett

The Toll brothers decimated the wonderful lush trees that we all enjoyed seeing. I am leery about proposed plans. Will there be any area that we can say appropriate for Tree Town?

David Green

my neighborhood- want to keep it quiet and with precious forest

M Salley

The scale and impacts of this proposal are inconsistent with the City’s stated priorities for affordability, environmental stewardship, walkability, stormwater management, and public safety. Given these concerns and the character of the existing residential area, a low-density development would be a more responsible and appropriate option.

Paul Killey

This is just not an acceptable use of this property. This should be left as it is or be a park.

Yu Hong

Stop destroying natural resources

Eben Prabhu

When developers clear-cut mature forests because starting with a cleared site is easier and more profitable, our city should not simply stand by and allow it. If Ann Arbor is serious about addressing climate change, protecting carbon-storing trees, managing stormwater, filtering water, and preserving biodiversity, we must demand better—and stop sacrificing mature forests for development. Ann Arbor should hold developers to a higher standard and reject this rezoning.

Linda Meneghini

Enough is enough.

Lola Killey

Traffic congestion and pedestrian dangers created by the development

Ervis Burda

Because of the environmental impact

David F. Reid

This type of density housing is out of character with this neighborhood. The intersection at Green & Glazier is heavily used during morning & evening rush hours. That makes getting in and out of the proposed development problematic. The site is also on a steep hill and loss of tree & undergrowth may lead to flooding & other unintended consequences. Overall, this is an unwanted intrusion into the mature character of the surround area.

Cheryl Gibbs

Poor location, loss of wildlife habitat, increased traffic on surrounding roads which already are crowded due to proximity to U of M north campus

Timothy Mervak

Too much.

Richard Auchus

The hills on Glazier Way are very dangerous in the winter already, and the road can barely handle the existing car/bicycle/scooter/foot traffic to the surrounding schools. Any more housing without direct access to Huron Parkway will create a daily life-threatening obstacle for the children and their families.
