City of Springfield
, 225 Fifth Street
Springfield, Oregon
Dear Molly,
I live at 5500 HighbanksRoad, down the street to the west from the proposed
Dwyer/Eureka Development.
I am opposed to the development for the folloWing reasons;
I. There is already too much traffic on Highbanks Road. Your traffic engineers
might indicate that there is sufficient capacity to handle more traffic, but they do
not live on the road ~d do not have to try and exit the road when the school
traffic is coming and going and people are going to work. This is a major road for
all the peopl~ living to the east to get onto 1-105.
2.,. The City of Springfield should not crowd people together. That is exactly what is
going to happen if the City allows the Dwyer/Eureka Development to proceed as
proposed. The more tightly you pack people together, the more problems are
generated.
3. There has been a lotof stealing and looting in and around the property that I live
on. It is the old dairY barn site. We have had several items disappear from the
property and my son's car was'stolen a while back. We do not need more people
in this area.
I have\ived at my current address for quite some now. Prior to living at 5500 Highbanks
Road, I lived in and around ',the Springfield area most of my adult life. I am concerned
that the City feels that they have to build on every piece of land. There. needs to be some
land and trees left for the city'to be the City of Springfield. Do not make the City of
Springfield just a bunch of buildings with little or any open spaces and trees.
Sincerely, .
.12., (J () ['II \~
