Community Safety Concern over Proposed 29-unit apt bldg at 1645 Black Rock Turnpike, Fairfield CT

That property is no place for a multi unit housing facility as it's being proposed.

Please Do not build!

Blackrock/Tunxis Hill are already over populated. There are accidents constantly one at this very intersection a week ago. Never mind the death a few weeks ago of a pedestrian crossing the street. We should be more concerned about making this area safe!

I am opposed to this proposed affordable housing development at this location. Given the preexisting number of affordable housing units in this neighborhood already (that fall within the younger than 30yr mandate), I fail to understand how this is reasonable. The infrastructure (schools, fire, sidewalks, traffic) are significantly deficient to support this additional development while balancing the safety and well being of the rest of the neighborhood. This indicates a serious imbalance and bias on our beloved neighborhood relative to the rest of Fairfield. This is unacceptable.

This area is already impossible to navigate most times of the day due to the traffic. An apartment complex would make it intolerable.

I don't think this is a good idea to put an apartment building there.

Please consider building, in a zone, affordable housing, that does not further burden already overcrowded school.

I strongly think adding an apartment building to this neighborhood is a highly inediquate decision.

I am against this apartment building being built.

This isn't the best intersection and already has issues. Why would we add to the problem or worse have traffic going through the neighboring streets to avoid the traffic?

I feel that adding a 29-unit building to a little over a half acre property, at an already busy intersection would have zero benefit to that neighborhood. The planned structure would be districted to Holland Hill school, a school that's slated to be expanded, however no firm date has been set to begin construction. What's going to happen to the children that move into these apartments before the renovation on an already over-capacity school is complete? Not to mention that particular intersection is dangerous as it is now without adding 30 more cars to it. I feel strongly that such a large structure in such a small space is not ideal for that busy location, and would urge the zoning commission to strongly think about school, traffic, and environmental implications--as well as, what would the benefit be to this community?

This is a tricky intersection already. It seems like its too big of a development for the area & neighborhood.

This would cause a serious traffic concern. Not a good location.

This would be a terrible location, the intersection is dangerous enough. Also, McKinley and Holland Hill are already overpopulated as it stands, we do not need more children coming into these schools. Too many rentals in the area to begin with...

This is a terrible location for this and I object strongly to it.

Please don't do this!

This is the worst location for this housing.

Already enough traffic in that area!!!!! No housing!!!!!

I can't see how this has been thought out by all bodies of the town. This is poor planning.

Adding a 29 unit building onto a 0.6 acre lot that enters/exits onto Moritz Place which is a single lane street with NO sidewalks will put the residents, especially the children who walk to Holland Hill (or wait for the bus to FWMS or Ludlowe HS), in significant danger. The other entry/exit is a severely congested area of Black Rock Turnpike which also has safety issues not only for pedestrians, but cars as well. My understanding is there are currently 21 single family homes on this street at this time and we want to more than double the amount of families that are going to occupy this area. This could potentially impact the already overcrowded Holland Hill School that is waiting for renovations to begin in the summer of 2017 at the earliest.
