Dear Council Members:
We have been inactive members of the North Springfield Citizens Committee but still
live in the area and continue to be concerned about the future of our community.
We request a delay or further consideration of the development of the property located at
42d and Marcola Road - formerly known at the Pierce Property.
We are concerned that the area is in danger of being over-developed and ruining the
character of the area. We are worried that the increased amount of traffic would have a
negative impact also.
Another big box store plus the surrounding development would nearly duplicate what we
found right across the Freeway - ie. WalMart and Jerry's Home Improvement Center.
Please don't amend the Metro Plan just to accommodate such an enterprise. We do not
want to look like Beaverton and other metropolitan areas with traffic and other
nightmares.
