There is already a petition and lots of comments against the visioning statement attached to the staff report going on November 5th.
Typical comments (starting around page 16):
"the existing proposal will destroy the value of homes"
"our roads won't support the increase in traffic volume...this is not King St!"
"having commercial businesses on the ground floor is bad because there is no foot traffic...this is a pure residential area. Would create noise."
"roads won't support the increase in traffic volume"
"...no stores, no pubs, no coffee shops!!"
