We, the undersigned members of the Downtown Residential and Business Community, oppose the move of New York Center for Addiction Treatment Services outpatient facility to 75 Maiden Lane. Such a clinic poses quality of life, health and safety risks for our neighborhood and should be located in a non-residential neighborhood, not footsteps from residential buildings and a pre-school.

Ridiculous to even suggest putting this right in the middle of a business and residential block. Property values are gonna tank if this happens.

75 Maiden Lane is way to close to the preschool. Think about the parents picking up their kids. My neighborhood is getting worse by the day.

This is a terrible idea. We have little kids running around here all day and it just isnt the right spot for this kind of place.

I moved here for the school and the quiet streets. This is going to ruin everything for us.
