Confused
I am very confused why is Easttown being included as a priority for East Grand Rapids? Shouldn’t we be focusing on our city and its residents?
Eastown
Mr.
Based upon this week’s meeting there are points which all members seemed to agree with. 1. Additional multi-family residential units are not desired. 2. It should not be the responsibility of neighbors to notify the city of buildings which are not being maintained. The city needs to approach the commission with this feedback. 3. Traffic,
Ms.
With the number of rentals in this area, we really need stronger requirements and enforcement of rental properties. This is in reference to the amount of street parking, maintaining the house, and maintaining the landscape (mowing, weeding, pruning shrubs). The owner of the property needs to be responsible and hire competent landscaping services to maintain.
continental cross walks
I had previously requested (during the public meetings held about 2+ years ago) that more continental crosswalks be added across Wealthy, Lake and Robinson between West City Limits and Plymouth but although many new ones have been painted on the pavement in other areas of the City, apparently this neighborhood isn’t deemed that important. In

Robinson Road & Aquinas
Dear Planning Commission, Two areas of concern: 1.) The much-needed updates to Robinson Road have exasperated the speed of vehicles. Early on the city placed speed monitors on Robinson. Please consider returning the monitors. 2.) Many of us near Aquinas worry about the future of the college. It is a beautiful campus that seems to

Quiet character, uncrowded
We value the quiet character of our neighborhoods. I’d prefer that the City regards us as a separate entity from Eastown. We do not support creating more dense housing here, be it in the form of adding “mother-in-law” structures, small homes, or converting more single-family units to multi-family. The campus and hospital can create enough

Robinson Rd and Wealthy St non-enforcement of Speed Limits
Both Robinson Rd and Wealthy St have traffic that is moving too fast. The recent changes to Robinson especially, have made the road wider and seem to encourage faster speeds (versus the portion of the road that had traffic calming in Grand Rapids). Wealthy St has traffic that is moving too quickly and there never

Accessibility/walkability/diversity
Eastown is a wonder area. Would love to see more of a variety in restaurants (please, no more pizza). Sidewalk maintenance and accessibility would be helpful, too. We have children, elderly, persons with disabilities, and the general public who would benefit. Also, any opportunity to add green space or plants or murals for beauty are

Re: Master Plan Update & Easttown
Can you clarify how Easttown is included as a part of the East Grand Rapids city master plan? It is my understanding that this is not within the district of EGR. Thank you

The only place in EGR I’d ever want to live
I love my neighborhood and especially my street. The neighbors are fantastic. The houses are unique and quirky and old and have not been replaced with trendy houses. We are happily close to Aquinas, Wilcox, Eastown, and Gaslight. It would be great if there were a solution to the flooding that happens at Rosewood and
