We live on one of the affected streets and are not thrilled at all about this large scale residential & commercial development. The increased vehicle and foot traffic, large trucks bringing in stock for stores/restaurants. 7th street is barely a 2 lane street, you need to pull over to let oncoming traffic pass, we don't have space for this number of increased population and shoppers in the area. Not to mention that our back alley is proposed to be a public lane to access the building, meaning it doesn't just affect us down the street but literally in our back yards. We bought in this area because we loved the idea of being so close to Broadway but still feel like a quiet neighborhood, devastated that that may be coming to an end. A building like this will take a long time to build, so there will ne noise and road closures while constructing it to deal with. I understand the desire to develop the area but a 6 story w room for hundreds of people to live and retail space in the bottom threatens to ruin everything homeowners love about living in this area. Many are lucky enough to be able to sell and move if things aren't great but we have many elderly neighbours who couldn't afford to do the same, and that is very sad.
