I attended the Planning Commission (as a resident) on 7/18 and here's what I saw.
Removing sidewalks on West Street between Wooster and Madisonville Rd (opposite the school) is a bad idea. I'm concerned it's even still under consideration. We are a walking community who is trying to extend sidewalks (up Miami's hill, on East across Wooster, etc), not remove them. Less sidewalks unravels what we've been praised for: New Urbanism, an alternative to suburban sprawl's driving community model. We should kindly thank the applicant for his offer to landscape but reject this regressive idea.
I will be watching closely as the PC reconsiders this application after school convenes. If it again comes up, I will work hard to preserve those important West St sidewalks.
