The city confirmed that the development proposal is officially dead and the land will remain untouched. I am drained from the months of fighting but relieved that we managed to protect this space. We should keep an eye on the zoning records just in case they try to move this …

Dear Meridian Kessler Neighbors, Butler University Alumni and Friends, Join our Butler-Tarkington and Meridian-Park neighbors to stop residential and commercial development at Crown Hill Cemetery (42nd & Michigan Rd.) Over 70 irreplaceable acres filled with 2,745 trees risk being destroyed if zoning is passed. The removal of these natural resources equates to over 8,000 tons of new carbon dioxide in our city\'s air. Historical Crown Hill was established in 1864. 185,000 deceased rest at the cemetery. Please sign the petition to stop this destruction from happening. The next zoning meeting will be held on February 21, 2007, 1:00 p.m. at the City County Building, 2nd floor.

Reaching this point is exhausting and humbling all at once. Seeing this many people recognize what we stand to lose at Crown Hill keeps me going despite the long road ahead.

totally agree. that corner is already busy enough as it is. residential buildings there would be a nightmare for traffic.

This is completely wrong. That area is beautiful and peaceful. Leave it alone!

Ridiculous to even consider building there. My family ancestors are buried in the vicinity and I dont want them disturbed by construction noise.

Crown Hill is a historical landmark. Show some respect to the dead and keep the development out.
