Boogers 0 #4 April 21, 2014 Is there some group actively opposing the wind tunnel, to which this petition is a counter-argument? I did notice in your petition that the location is stated as "near the condos", which could understandably produce some opposition. Seems like the traffic noise from I-87 there would probably be louder... Aerial map attached for everyone's info. Purple pin locator is not exact.

rtroup 1 #5 April 21, 2014 Yes. Basically the tunnel is being built in a outdoor mall. The entire mall is new development still in progress. The condos were not existing before the mall. They were built with the mall. The tunnel is planned to go on the lot next to the condos. Some of the condo owners are protesting it cause they are afraid of the increased traffic and the fact it will be in their view. It won't block any view it will just be in their view.(insert philosophical quote here) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boogers 0 #6 April 21, 2014 Well, if the residents are worried about traffic, you have to wonder why they chose to live next to a shopping mall... Seems like you could show how many customers per day will visit the tunnel, and how that won't tie-up traffic for local residents. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rtroup 1 #7 April 21, 2014 They live in a shopping mall not next to one. Traffic studies have been done and have shown that their impact to traffic will be extremely minimal..(insert philosophical quote here) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boogers 0 #8 April 21, 2014 Sounds like the facts and logic are on your side. But sometimes in politics, emotion wins out over facts and logic. Good luck in your effort! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
