Stop Redevelopment in Salem at former Salem Oil & Grease Site
This petition was published by CelesteR2012 on Apr 30, 2012
We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who object to the redevelopment of the former Salem Oil and Grease Property. This development is too large and is incompatible with the existing neighborhood which will affect the integrity of the Salem Historic Area.
Our concerns as Salem Residents are as follows:
* With the already approved two sites in Ward 6, Located at Goodhue St. and Mason St. adding this new development will increase the population to approximately 1000 new people, which will also increase the traffic in our already congested city/neighborhoods
* Lack of Screening for residence nearby
* Flooding: on Harmony Grove Rd. will Reroute traffic to nearby neighborhoods
* Wildlife Homes;
* Concerns about Toxic Land;
* More Overcrowded classrooms;
* The need for a proper Retaining Wall to support the Banken that is already washing away;
* With the estimated children to reside in these; buildings the tax rate for homeowners will increase.
