Oppose the Destruction of an Ann Arbor Urban Forest

Deborah Jeffries

destroying forest land is not OK - it isn't the Ann Arbor way

Randy Tashjian

Preservation of diminishing green space needs to be a priority

Andrew Flint

Ann Arbor is known as "Tree Town". Why are we destroying our ecosystem? We need trees!

Supporter

I’m signing this petition because this is continuous destruction of our natural habitats

Camille Ward

We need to preserve green spaces. I adamantly oppose!

ANNE BEAUBIEN

I object to the proposed R4 housing next to R1 housing. That is hardly a gradual transition to more dense housing. I believe the roads, sewer and water cannot handle this increase in usage. The development will create flooding and destroy the watershed. It will destroy a beautiful urban forest.

Diana Zajic

Legacy tree, traffic. Water drainage issues, too many condos on such a small acrea, no affordable housing

Mary Wise

Ruins a beautiful area, among other things

William Silvis

We can do better than this. The planned development is contrary to what council and planning publicly said they would do for incremental development. The development offers none of the benefits to the city of higher density, only its added burdens.

Scott Murray

This plan does not meet the objectives of affordable living.

Winnoe Wood

We need to save our free space as it is disappearing with all of the new housing developments. The wild life is also disappearing as they are displaced from their homes in the woods and end up getting hit by cars vehicles in our streets.

Alison Knapp

Not only will clearing away the trees remove habitat for who knows how much wildlife, with that land cleared, runoff (containing whatever chemicals they use to treat their landscaping) will flow right down into Geddes Lake's three ponds, which are part of the Huron River watershed, drastically altering an ecosystem that is home to various rare and protected species.

Darcy Guyton-Hanna

Trees provide oxygen for us to breathe. We don’t need million dollar luxury homes/condos in Ann Arbor.

Patricia Curtis

We need to maintain wildlife habitat.

Cilla Tomas

Too many expensive condos in Ann Arbor! We are becoming a town where only wealth people can afford to live, besides the destruction of the environment.

Ingrid Charlson

It's a beautiful green space, so please leave it be. As always, the proposal is just trying to cram as much housing as possible into the smallest space. PLEASE DON'T DO IT!

Megan Mongiovi

This is a piece of habitat for all the wildlife, and truly a breath of fresh air in this part of Ann Arbor. Please don’t cut it down!

Karen Piehutkoski

The trees are beautiful. We already have to many condos in Ann Arbor and most of them are just plain ugly.

John Kelly

They still want to describe Ann Arbor as Tree Town, but it's becoming Developers' Delight on the sudden basis that in a town where the University doesn't pay property taxes, not only do the citizens have to ante up more in taxes (while also suddenly use of consultant groups costs millions) but also we must have real uncomfotable and ugly population density to house as many ratepayers as can possibly fit in city limits.

Vitali Fedosov

It’s beautiful peace of Ann Arbor. Stop to destroy it!
