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 […]

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

The walkable proximity to parks (formal, Wilcox; informal, Aquinas campus), business districts (Eastown, Wealthy, Cherry, GLV), and even downtown GR makes our neighborhood a delightful rarity in the midwest. For the walkability I love, the sidewalks are dangerously under-maintained. Height differentials between slabs of 1+” are common trip hazards. Maybe it’s because we are the

The work completed on Robinson made a huge difference. Widening the skirt where Rosewood intersects with Robinson has been helpful for traveling by car. Continuing the bike lane and a walking path all the way to Lakeside would be great — crossing the old concrete bridge with no shoulder is challenging. Connecting to the nature
We have raised our family of 3 children in the Eastown neighborhood and been residents here for over 30 years. We have lived here to witness the growth and evolution of the neighborhood that has come with the growth and development of the Eastown business district and Cherry Hill and Wealthy Heritage business districts. Our

I love this area. I love being able to walk to Gaslight Village and Eastown (I visit Eastown businesses more often). I love that the number 6 bus goes from downtown GR to the mall. My middle school kid takes the bus to school during bad weather which is very convenient. Lots of great families
I love the green space in Concept B. It would be fantastic to have benches and places to hammock, and have a sizable community garden plot. In my opinion, there are plenty of townhouses and condos in other parts of Grand Rapids nearby. New builds for families with 3+ are greatly needed in both East

As one of the most dense blocks in East Grand Rapids, we enjoy a strong sense of community. And part of that community is allowing our kids to play together with shared oversight. The park and play area around the Church School has always been appreciated as has the way the church community has prioritized
I’m excited about the project but conerned of the “size.” Can you fill the offices and restaurant space? Parking is inadequate. Concerned about traffic, bikes, pedestrians. Villages don’t have 7 & 5 story high buildings. I. would like the project if was down sized!

The trucks that come into D&W for deliveries currently use the intersection of Lakeside and Greenwood to orient their trailer to back down shopping center drive to the delivery bay. It is very difficult to consider a multi car garage with its traffic flow and a loading bay all using Shopping Center drive with functional
