Resident Mike tells Colman‑Egan board nearby complex has created a "hostile environment"
Summary
A resident asked the Colman‑Egan School District 50‑5 board to coordinate with the city after saying continued development next to the Slough has created a "hostile environment" for neighbors and that residents effectively live in the middle of the school campus.
Mike, a neighborhood resident, told the Colman‑Egan School District 50‑5 board that the continued construction of a complex beside the Slough “has created a hostile environment for the people that live in this neighborhood.” He said neighborhood traffic and site use mean residents now feel they live in the middle of a school campus and asked the board to work with the city on a resolution.
Board members and staff discussed next steps and public information. Scott noted the district filed the annexation petition and that the city referendum on the annexation is scheduled for July 28; the board discussed whether the district should distribute a neutral informational flyer to explain what the ballot questions would do. Mike’s remarks included specific concerns about traffic, lighting and trash associated with the proposed development, and he urged the board to consider neighborhood impacts when making decisions.
