Objection to Proposed Zoning Change - Major Safety Concerns

As a neighbor and a mother, I am deeply concerned with the proposal to rezone the residential neighborhood to include a large parking lot in the midst of an already busy intersection. If the Rye City Council Members and the members of the Rye Planning Commission visited the site for the proposed project on a weekday morning or late afternoon, it would become abundantly clear that it is an accident, and likely many accidents, waiting to happen, next door to the nursery school and residential houses with small children. It would be a reckless decision ignoring the safety and well-being of neighbors and their children, which should be the top priority.
