Resident urges council to review Maker's District plans for Terminal Street
Summary
A long-time Terminal Street resident told the commission he opposes residential development in the corridor and urged the commission to ensure his neighborhood's needs are considered when the Maker's District goes to council; he said he will attend the council public hearing on April 6.
A Terminal Street resident who identified himself as Jim spoke during public comment to urge the commission and council to consider neighborhood concerns before allowing residential or live-work units in the Maker's District. Jim said he has lived at 5000 Terminal for 24 years and described local conditions, including bus drop-offs and limited access, arguing residents do not want apartments in the area.
Jim said he would attend the council public hearing and encouraged commissioners to pass information along to council members, noting his personal connection to the neighborhood and asking officials to ensure the proposal "is okay with everything" before final council action. The commission chair reiterated that the Maker's District will be transmitted to council and that public input will be part of the council review process.
