Protect the Vision for the West End

I support the petition requesting the Alexandria City Counsel Uphold the Goals and Visions of the EWSAP by disapproving the request by Public Storage to build a storage facility on South Pickett Street.

Stop Public Storage From Doing an Around End on the Eisenhower West Small Area Plan

Stop this sneak attack.

I urge city council to disapprove the Request by Public Storage to Build a Storage Facility on South Pickett Street

No more storage. Respect the small area plan!

The City of Alexandria has been considering inappropriate encroachments in the West End since Cameron Station was built. The only way to stop things like this is too have as many people as possible show up at City Council and voice their displeasure.

Please stick to the publicly funded and publicly discussed EWSAP. No one said anything about more Public Storage units.

I find it hard to believe that there is not a more compelling use for the land at the addresses in this petition. This location is within walking distance of Van Dorn Metro station, using it for storage is wasteful and short-sighted. Development in that area is not a bad thing, another storage facility is just not the right development for this area.

Please deny this developer request. It is inconsistent with the City’s Eisenhower Small Area Plan. It is a lower use and there is no current “compelling” reason to abandon the vision of the small area plan. The City must stand firm and show developers that the City will not compromise its intentions. Failing to do so in this case will no doubt set an example for other developers to make similar requests not in-line with City plans.

We've worked with the City for 20 years to make this part of Alexandria a wonderful part of the City, and have made great strides in accomplishing it. Let's continue that progress and not take a step back. The Plan for this area shows great thought and imagination and has proved to be workable. Let's continue the GOOD WORK and not forget what the community and City agreed to do..

Strongly oppose any industrial plans due to health concerns (pollution, noise, hazards, etc).

There is a limited amount of space in the city and it can be better used than having additional storage locations. We have several locations currently and they can exand one of their current sites instead.

I don’t understand why the city planners of Alexandria have no vision for the city. The land is VALUABLE. They should be helping create communities, accommodate population growth, and increase metro transportation links. Another storage facility does not meet any of these goals.

Stick to the original plan!

I request that the city stick to the original vision and deny the new storage facility. Look at the beautiful new apartment building at the corner of Van Dorn and S. Pickett, that is the vision we see and want!

If this is not part of the agreed to Eisenhower West Small Area Plan and in keeping with the projected redevelopment, then it should not be allowed.

No!

Just NO!

Request disapproval of Public Storage's request to build another storage facility on South Pickett Street.

Vehemently oppose the presence of Public Storage on VanDorn St.
