If the developer would like to also build a new school, I might reconsider my position.

We oppose the new development. Just moved into GR specially for its public school system and small town feel. No other reason to pay so much taxes.

I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to multi-family, affordable housing in GR if the town were better prepared to deal with it. But we already have issues with space - this will exacerbate those problems many-fold. And to what end? If we put businesses there, while they wouldn't bring residential taxes down, they couldn't hurt.

We are already packed tight here in GR. We don't to increase the density of people, Traffic will also escalate. We can't abide more cars. For every increase in density, there should be an increase in open space--ie parks.

No benefit to our beautiful historic town! Will further overcrowd our schools and increase traffic. Keep Glen Ridge Historically Preserved!

Possible tax income will not cover the enormous burden to our overly crowded school system.

This is such a beautiful community. Multi-family housing is the fast track to destruction. I've never heard of any neighborhood being made better by it.

This would negatively impact our already crowded schools. Please consider our children who already live here, and keep their future in mind.

Pre K is already turning students away. This is a small school that has limited capacity and can't handle a spike in student population

Glen Ridge is known for it's great school district, small community & beautiful historic homes. That is just a few reasons why I settled in this town. Putting up affordable
multi-housing will really change and affect our already crowded schools, the historic beauty and the small town feel. I am completely against this proposal.

The last thing we need is more housing density. If anything, I'd rather see business offices there to increase ratables.

Not only would this potentially add numerous children to an overcrowded school possibly costing more per student than is raised in taxes, it continues to destroy the historic and aesthetic nature of our beautiful town and did probably 100 more vehicles to an area already congested with a new turf field opening and a hospital and train station close by.

You can't add families to a community without thinking about schools, parks, traffic congestion, etc. AND the nature of changing a historic district block.
