Feeling so let down by board that routinely grants variances to deep pocket developers. It's just a ridiculous game, and everyone knows it.

The Elmwood District does not need any big box stores in the Elmwood Crossing project. The Common Council should be representing residents who support compliance with the Green Code, and not waivers. The PUD should not be approved in its current configuration.

The Elmwood Village is the heart of Buffalo. We need and deserve a better plan than what has been proposed

Stick to the Green Code that was vetted by thousands of residents and a 5 year public review process.

Please do the right thing and listen to the people! We’ve called the Elmwood VIllage “home” for over 35 years and now our grandchild lives here as well. Let’s keep the character in place.

Stop Green Code exemptions for wealthy developers

It has taken years for the Elmwood Village to climb out of dreariness and become lively and attractive. Allowing a huge store to be built at the site of the old hospital would alter the character of the neighborhood and partly undo the work of the past quarter of a century. Elsewhere city planners are realizing that what makes neighborhoods attractive is their walkability and the density of their pedestrian features. We have evidence of this in the Elmwood Village as it stands. A huge store and its attendant auto traffic would make walking dangerous and unpleasant, and bringing in something that might very well drive out of business the shops that have done so much to bring foot traffic to the neighborhood threatens to make the area a cultural desert again.

With Sinatra’s reputation, why are we allowing so many variations from the Green Code? This is about GREED. Save Elmwood Village from the greedy developers!

There is no need to knock down any more old homes to make way for these projects. No retail is needed on residential streets either. Please abide by the Green Code. Thank you.

Elmwood Avenue provides plenty of retail space. The proposed PUD on West Utica is completely inappropriate and unnecessary.

Follow the Green Code and support the neighborhood that made this location so desirable.

The Elmwood Village is a great mixed-use neighborhood. Oversized development projects detract from the value of this distinctly residential and small commercial environment. Use care in your planning. Thank you.

Keep the elmwood villiage a villiage and stop giving these developers ridiculous tax breaks while raising residential taxes.
