I live in the nearby area and use both the medical services offices and the restaurant and retail shops to the north of the development. Traffic ingress and egress is already at max congestion and this project is not feasible from a compatibility use. I urge the council as a 40 year citizen of Scottsdale to reject this eyesore of a project.

I can't think of a worse place to build a 500-unit apt building. The area is already congested with traffic, making it extremely dangerous for pedestrians coming from this place. This complex will also need water, something we are running out of in AZ!

Old Town is losing its Old Town character. In my neighborhood, multiple single story buildings have tuned in to 3-5 story buildings with reckless regard to parking, water, traffic considerations. Currently within a three-block radius there are over 6 projects in my future view that will be 5+ stories plus and add thousands of more units. This is not sustainable growth in the immediate area. It’s also displacing many long-term residents that have lived and worked in the area for decades. They have lost their affordable housing and causing a worker shortage. How does this sustain the character and feel of Old Town? There’s no continuity in design, all luxury units means double the people in them to afford them which will cause more traffic. At what cost? Any Council member that continues to vote for congestion loses my vote.

Please stop this congested, high-density development. We recently had family members visit. We took them into Old Town, got stuck in traffic behind several of the peddle bars with drunk kids screaming while peddling down the center of the road while we searched for a parking spot so we could explore Old Town. We gave up and headed to the Quarter where once again there was unbelievable traffic and minimal parking. We decided to go to Kierland for dinner. Once again, no parking and very little handicapped parking. In addition, most restaurants are blocking parking for curbside pickup which reduces parking spots. All my relatives kept saying was they couldn't believe how Scottsdale has changed. It was no longer the charming and inviting place to visit. They commented on the condo/apartment boxes that are throughout Scottsdale (they said it looked cheap. They are seasoned travelers that enjoy the arts, culture, dining, hiking, and shopping. Exactly the type we want visiting our city. They usually plan at least 2 international trips and at least 5 vacations in the USA every year. They said if they visit AZ again, they plan to stay in Tucson. I too, was appalled at all the high-density development, poorly planned infrastructure. Now, I see all the apartments.condos in the Raintree 1010 area which is already a traffic nightmare. Please stop all the congestion and overly development in our city.

over development in Scottsdale appears to be inspired by unadulterated, unchecked greed. we can't afford it considering the water crisis which IS here! We must preserve the beauty around us and stop it now. In my opinion having lived here for six years in the eighties and another ten years more recently we have already gone way too far with overbuilding.

You are destroying our beautiful city with high rises. They are not even architecturally attractive anymore, they are just 4-10 story giant gulag buildings. What are you doing?

Building is out of balance with our natural resources. Water is a major issue, mountain views are being obstructed, Scottsdale’s unique character is vanishing and traffic is a nightmare. Please reconsider these construction decisions as they are having long lasting-negative impact to our town.

I live nearby. Please stop the madness. I understand the desire for more living space; AZ in general and Scottsdale in particular are popular destinations. That doesn't mean that we need to build senselessly without regard to existing neighborhoods.
Specifically for 9400 Shea, the lot has very limited access to Shea Blvd and there is no proposal on how to deal with the traffic from the 300+ units. Most of them will need to turn left on Shea to get to the 101. Will you add yet another traffic light on Shea to make that possible? If not, everyone will either make a U-turn on Shea @ 96th street, or turn right on 96th and use Via Linda (or Mountain View) to get to the 101.
For the other proposed development across from the hospital, there are already 2 left turn lanes at 92St and Shea and both lanes are over capacity at lunch and in the late afternoon. You can imagine the traffic situation for this intersection if the apartments are built.
Stop the overbuilding!
