Malta Residents Appeal Location of Trooper Barracks Project

No to the new barracks location!

I have deep concerns about a trooper barracks going up in our neighborhood. On top of cutting down forests and turning that area of dunning into a strip mall looking area, I already deal with state Troopers flying up and down dunning Street without their lights on with complete disregard for pedestrians. That traffic circle by fox wander has heavy foot traffic with kids and families biking and walking, many times I've had to stop because of state troopers speeding to go into the tech park or looping over to plains road. Will there be 24 flood lights shining in the backyards? Although I support law enforcement, the state troopers who work in this area have no sense community. They aren't friendly when we encounter them in local shops. I have no desire have our woods clear cut, 24/ hr parking lot lights causing light pollution and for even troopers to be zipping up and down dunning Street without a regard or respect for the community the serve. It's insane that instead of picking a commercially zoned area, they are wanting to place this in. Neighborhood. When a bike rider gets blasted by a trooper flying down dunning at night and the complaints start coming in about noise and light pollution then maybe the state will understand just how much this is unwanted.

I am a resident of Luther Forest for 41 years and a retired employee of the Town of Malta and I am very concerned with what's happening to the forest. When are the clearing of the trees going to stop. That's why my husband and I moved here.

Please please consider putting this elsewhere. It is already getting difficult at times to get out of LF from Dunning street to rte 9. Adding another entrance/exit so. Lose to the ro7nd abouts will only make it worse. Not to mention the people who will live directly behind it who will then have to del with the noise. I will also remind the town about what happened when Ellsworth Commons went in. All the trees they took down caused fallen trees to happen to some of the houses on May Apple. We are supposed to be living in Luther Forest. Doesn’t feel like much of one if you keep cutting all of the trees down.

Why would this be built in the middle of a neighborhood when there are more appropriate areas to build this station?

Save the trees and the natural wildlife.

Should be residential.

Don’t do it

Please protect our green space and residential area and relocate the police barracks to another location.

Keep Our Forest,Leave the Trees!!

Honestly, It would be best suited on RT 9, and RT 67 just off Rt 87 Northway Or, shared space at the Malta Ridge, Round Lake Fire House.

There has to be somewhere else to put this. The traffic circle at 9 and 67 is so congested already. Please consider the Luther Forrest neighborhood! I have lived here since 1999.

Protect all current existing green space from Malta’s endless suburban sprawl development.

Find somewhere else to build!

I have been living in Luther Forest for 28 years. I am opposed to the construction of a NYS State Trooper barracks on the four acres of woodland between the houses on May Apple Way and Dunning Street. I urge you to listen to the residents that live here and change the location.

Let us save our beautiful Land!

I am saddened to see more trees cut down in a residential community for this. There are other locations where this can go

Leave this land alone.

As always in NY, the wrong way to build and develop.

Please do not ruin this space in our neighborhood.
