We can't just keep tearing down tress and paving over everything. Humans need green. Trees, plants. Animals need these things too. We stop greed from bulldozing everything.

I am opposed to this development. It seems very much at odds with Ann Arbor's nickname of Tree Town to blow up 8 acres of woodland for multimillionaires to have narrow shotgun row type condos, especially when there are plenty of parking lots and dilapidated parcels that would be a more meaningful development. I suggest contacting Ward 2's incumbant councilwoman, Sandy Aldrich, at https://www.votesandyaldrich.com/ and make clear that, should she approve this project, she will lose votes.

Why do they have to clear cut to develop land ? It’s being done though out the county. Many people live here because the tree help filter . It’s clear & cooler because of the tree than the city. So I’m against any more cutting of trees. We love it the way it is

Ann Arbor needs trees to retain the name, "Tree City". The birds, squirrels, owls and insects need homes too.

The proposed development is for very dense, tall luxury townhouses, which does not support affordable housing and destroys a beautiful wooded area. I hope the city will prioritize its residents and only approve developments that demonstrate a commitment to the same values as those residents.

Our city needs to protect mature trees in our boundaries; trees keep our air clean.

This urban forest should be protected from development, especially as the proposed townhouses would be luxury housing, not affordable housing.

I love the natural land and I need trees to hang up my hammock in!

This is important to me because I believe wildlife is valuable and we keep squeezing them off the land. I would like to see it stop in this small area.

It is important to have a protected green space in the city. And Glazier road with its hills, curves, blindspots would not support high traffic which would come with development.

It is heartbreaking to thing of them cutting down all those trees and then putting in another housing development for the rich!

The rezoning in Ann Arbor for establishment of higher density housing is out of control and outside the desires of, in my experience, most residents that are to be affected.

Poor urban planning with little thought to traffic patterns Plus, another subdivision of large unnecessary houses

Preserve natural areas and their inhabitants from luxury housing.

We need affordable housing, not high-end homes that require sacrifice of carbon-reducing forest areas.

This is an absolute disgrace. We cannot be Tree Town, then demolish mature woods just for luxury apartments.

I love this wooded area just as it is.
