protection of the environment for the nearby Miller Creek and for the wildlife. And the quiet and safety of the neighborhood.

I'm tired of seeing old growth trees clear cut! Between DTE and developers we're losing so many trees and green spaces.

Across Ann Arbor the present administration is allowing and approving clear cutting of trees (necessary greenery) across the city, and not for affordable housing. Examples Packard east of Buhr Park, Main Street next/south of UM golf course and more and more spots

Clear-cutting and unaffordable are unacceptable practices.

Part of what makes Ann Arbor is in the name ARBOR! DO NOT remove our lovely assets!

The proposed development is such a radical departure from the single-family neighborhood environment that has served our neighboring community so well over the last 50 years. All the while we have been able to preserve a heavily forested landscape that has been so congruent with who we are as Ann Arbor.

The rest of the city has been all but destroyed with building. I am wondering how can still call it Ann ARBOR. ? no annexing for dense development, please. It is hard to drive safely on Glazier to get onto the parkway as it is.

We must preserve the natural beauty of Ann Arbor.
Keep the “Arbor” in Ann Arbor.
It is what makes it special.
Otherwise it could be “Anywhere USA”

Clearcutting for more of the same housing, rather than “affordable”

The removal of this forest will have a highly destructive impact on nature, and the residents who live in this area. The corridor that is Glazier Way is already negatively impacted by an increased high traffic volume; it is also extremely steep over a long decline and downright dangerous in winter. It cannot handle more cars generated by 70+ condominiums! It is just plain wrong and unfair to change the zoning of this established neighborhood.

We need to keep our wooded areas and not fill them with condos. The traffic would be unsafe. Bad for the ecosystem.

The traffic risk alone of putting that many more vehicles onto Glazier Way seems prohibitive. The road is steep, windy and can be treacherous in the winter. It ends at Huron Parkway with a tricky Michigan left for thousands of cars that head to and from the University of Michigan campus and hospital every day. I wonder if the City Council has done a traffic study about the potential impact of increasing traffic on Glazier Way with this kind of density? That should be a primary concern.

A primary concern is for traffic safety. Due to steep incline and curves, Glazier Way is often treacherous in winter. The proposed entrance points pose a great risk.

Use smart development practices. Build in areas that support good housing density and doesn’t clear cut green spaces with mature trees.
