Concerned citizens of Ashland are outraged that Capital Properties is being allowed to develop the historic Valentine Estate affecting the safety of our community and burdening already overtaxed town resources such as:

water & sewer

health & safety

schools

We urge the Ashland ZBA, SelectBoard and all other town officials to scrutinize what is being proposed at 133 West Union Street and do what is right for the Town.

Reaching this point has been an exhausting battle but seeing so many of you join this fight keeps me going. It is clear now that the town is watching this development much more closely than the developers anticipated.

This section of Ashland is NOT suitable for a housing complex this large. The traffic is DANGEROUS and highly congested as it is.

I live very close to that property and it's almost impossible to get in and out of my driveway some days. My son was hit by a car a few years ago crossing the street to go to the middle school. There is NOT enough room for a housing unit of that size, for people OR for vehicles!!!!!!!

Our schools are packed enough already. We cant just keep building these things without thinking about the impact on our town services.

Too much density for that small lot. It ruins the whole feel of the neighborhood!!!!

The traffic on 135 is already a disaster every single morning. Puting more apartments there is just gonna make it impossible to get anywhere.
