EXPLOSIVE GROWTH
THE NEW DEVELOPMENTS ESPECIALLY ON ISABELLE RD

NEW PEOPLES I KNOW EVERYTHING ATTITUDE (WELCOME TO ERIE NOW REMEMBER YOU WEREN'T THE FIRST ONE HERE)
POLITICAL PROCTICE THAT USE THE ONE SIZE FITS ALL SYNDROME

GROWING TO FAST
OUR PRESENT TOWN ADMINISTRATION + THE GROWTH, + IMPOSING GROWTH + DEVELOPMENT IN TOWN + SURROUNDING AREAS.
A REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT THAT DOESN'T LISTEN AND IGNORES CITIZEN WISHES
GROWING TOO FAST; HOMES TOO CLOSE TOGETHER, NO DECENT COFFEE SHOP, VERY LITTLE ARCHITECTURAL PLANNING OR LANDSCAPING TO MAKE IT ATTRACTIVE
THE TOWN MAYOR AND HIS "YES" FOLLOWERS.

OUT OF CONTROL GROWTH, I.E. INCREASED AMOUNT OF HOMES, TRAFFIC, # OF KIDS IN SCHOOLS HERE, NOISE INCREASE IN OLD TOWN, ANIMOSITY BETWEEN OLD TOWN & NEW RESIDENTS, AND DIVISIVENESS OF TOWN OFFICIALS
ALL THE NEW GROWTH. THE CITY COUNCIL. THE MAYOR. STOP LETTING PEOPLE TAKE CITY VEHICLES TO THEIR HOMES OUT OF ERIE. (WEAR AND TEAR ON VEHICLES)
TOWN COUNCIL AND TOWN STAFF FOCUS ON EXCESSIVE GROWTH AND UNRESPONSIVENESS TO WANTS OF COMMUNITY
THE NEW PEOPLE MOVING HERE ARE SO UNFRIENDLY (WHY?) I'VE LIVED HERE ALL MY LIFE AND I TRY TO WELCOME THEM BUT THEY SURE ARE STUCK-UP.
THAT SOME PEOPLE WANT ERIE NOT TO GROW - THEY WILL LIVE HERE SEVERAL YEARS AND THEN THEY WILL GO.
TRYING TO GROW TOO FAST, FEW SERVICES
THE SHABBINESS, THE REVERSED PRIDE AND SNOBBINESS OF SOME RESIDENTS BELIEVING THE DIRT AND SHABBINESS IS DESIRABLE. THE ONGOING QUARRELING ABOUT GROWTH.
PLANS FOR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT. WE LIKE IT THE WAY IT IS!!!
AGREE - YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO BOULDER - KEEP YOUR NOSE OUT OF OUR BUSINESS
POTENTIAL FOR FAST AND TOO MUCH DEVELOPMENT - LOOKING LIKE ROCK CREEK!
TRAILER PARKS, SMALL DUMPY HOUSES, FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT BY TOWN ADMINISTRATORS,QUALITY OF TOWN ADMINISTRATOR

THE SMALL TOWN NAIVETE COUNCIL EASILY PLAYING INTO DEVELOPER'S PLANS.
NO TRANSPORTATION
WATER BILL IS VERY HIGH. TOO MANY AIRPLANES.
LACK OF RETAIL
THE 45 COPS ON THE FORCE - THAT IS ABSURD!
INCREASED CONSTRUCTION AND TRAFFIC
MAYOR VIC SMITH AND THE CURRENT BOARD OF TRUSTEES. UGLY DEVELOPMENTS. DAVE STAHL, DENNIS DRUM.
THE WAY IT'S BECOMING
ALL THE UGLY, HUGE HOMES BEING BUILT. ALSO THE OVER-CROWDED, ALL HOUSES ALIKE, SUBDIVISIONS. THE TRAFFIC ON HWY 52 IS AWFUL NOW!
GROWING TRAFFIC PROBLEMS.
THAT TWO LARGE GROUPS OF PEOPLE CAN'T COME TOGETHER AND DISCUSS "IDEAS" WITHOUT A FIGHT BREAKING OUT, NAMES SLAYED, ETC I'D LIKE TO SEE AGREE AND CARE COME TOGETHER. BOTH SIDES HAVE GREAT IDEAS. WHY NOT AGREE TO CARE ABOUT ERIE
CONDITION OF THE HOUSES IN "OLD TOWN". JUNK ALLOWED IN YARDS
DIRTY DOWNTOWN. WE HAVE TO DRIVE TO MOST PLACES. I WISH THERE WAS MORE RETAIL SO WE COULD WALK OR BIKE TO IT.
NOT KNOWING FUTURE PLANS OF LAND NEAR MY HOME
PREVIOUS REPUTATION (PER CAPITA CRIME STATISTICS, FOR SUCH A SMALL RURAL COMMUNITY).
DRIVE TO FAR FOR SHOPPING ETC... NO RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES CLOSE. OLD TOWN NEEDS FIXING (UGLY). OVERREACTING TO GROWTH. UTILITIES PERMITS TOO EXPENSIVE.
SPEEDING TRAFFIC ON ROAD 7
BEARACRACY OF THE BUILDING DEPT.
TOO MANY "COOKIE-CUTTER" HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS.
GREEDY DEVELOPERS WITH TIES TO THE PLANNING BOARD.
DIRT, MUD, DECAY, DELAPIDATION & DUMB$%#&$%# LIKE YOU WHO WANT TO KEEP IT THAT WAY.

LACK OF COMMUNITY FEELING DUE TO THE NECESSITY TO PROCURE LITERALLY ALL GOODS & SERVICES OUTSIDE MY TOWN!
SCHOOL SYSTEM NEEDS TO KEEP UP WITH GROWTH.
HEAVY TRAFFIC
CONDESCENDING ATTITUDE OF MAYOR & OTHER TOWN OFFICIALS. LACK OF TOWN INTEREST IN ITS CITIZENS INPUT, OPINION
CURRENT ATTEMPTS TO TURN IT INTO ANOTHER WESTMINSTER/BROOMFIELD WITH NO PLANNING FOR SCHOOLS TO SERVICE THE HUGE POPULATION INCREASE, NO TRAFFIC PROVISIONS,NO THOUGHT ABOUT EVIRONMENT IMPACT!
I CAN'T WALK WITH MY FAMILY TO A NEARBY EATERY OR THEATER
THE THOUGHT OF A CONSTRUCTION ZONE FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS
THE ROAD SYSTEM
CONSTANT BICKERING
THE RATE OF GROWTH
TOWN GOVERNMENT & EXPANDING SPRAWL
THINGS BEING HALF DONE - SCHOOLS OVERCROWDED - SCHOOLS BUILT AFTER GROWTH IS ALREADY DONE
TOO MUCH DEBT FOR THE TOWN'S SIZE (AND, NO, I DON'T THINK POPULATION GROWTH IS NECESSARILY THE WAY TO SOLVE THIS - SMART SPENDING AND MODEST TAX INCREASES WOULD BE PREFERRED BY ME)!
WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO WITH THE NORTHFIELD ANNEXATIONS AND SINGLE FAMILY SUBDIVISIONS GROWTH.
DOWNTOWN NEEDS BEAUTIFICATION
THE LACK OF THOUGHT GIVEN TO BUSINESSES MOVING IN AND THE LACK OF GUIDELINES FOR THE LOOK OF THE BUSINESSES THAT HAVE MOVED IN.
NO PLACE TO GO EAT OR SEE A MOVIE, ETC.
TOO MANY DOGS BARKING AND A REDNECK GOVERNMENT
THE NEGATIVE ATTITUDE SOME LON-TIME ERIE RESIDENTS DISPLAY TOWARDS THE NEW RESIDENTS.
THE FUTURE HIGH GROWTH, MORE PEOPLE, TRAFFIC, ETC. WE JUST MOVED FROM LOUISVILLE TO GET AWAY FROM THAT. NOW ERIE IS SET TO BE ANOTHER LOUISVILLE OR BIGGER! AHGGH. I GUESS WE'LL BE MOVING AGAIN IN A FEW YEARS.
TOO MUCH GROWTH. TOO MUCH TRAFFIC IF WE DEVELOP.
- THE UNCONTROLLED GROWTH MENTALITY - NEW DEVELOPMENTS DON'T FEEL LIKE A PART OF "TOWN"
WHEN ROADS ARE CLOSED - NEED TO BE BETTER AT PLANNING THE DEVELOPMENT TO HAVE THE LEAST DOWNTIME
LACK OF RESTAURANT, SHOPPING
THE FEELING OF A CORUPT GOVERNMENT. HIGH WATER PRICES.
THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE CURRENT MAYOR, DAVE STAHL
THE NEW PAVED ROADS - NEW DEVELOPMENT W/ NO NEW SCHOOLS, SCHOOL IS OVER CROWDED!
GROWING TOO FAST
THE UGLY HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS NORTH OF LAFAYETTE AND SOUTH OF BROWNSVILLE
THE TOWN AND THE TRASHY LOOK OF IT!
HOW THE TOWN BECOMES DIVIDED ON CERTAIN ISSUES WITHOUT ALLOWING FOR COMPROMISE.
THE LACK OF DIRECTION THE TOWN IS SUFFERING FROM
THE CONSTANT HALF FINISHED CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS. THE TOWN LOOKS LIKE A DUMP!
HIGH DEBT THAT TOWN OFFICIALS HAVE CREATED.
NO RESTAURANTS. TRACK HOUSING
LACK OF PLANNING BY CITY COUNCIL - WE NEED MORE SCHOOL & ACTIVITIES TO KEEP KIDS OUT OF TROUBLE
THE TOWN IS BEING OPERATED AND CONTROLLED BY A BUNCH OF LOUISVILLE HAS BEENS.
ITS TOO FAR FROM BUSINESSES, RESTAURANTS & ENTERTAINMENT
LACK OF PLANNING BY CITY COUNSEL I.E. SCHOOLS & REC CENTER, ETC.
THE FACT THAT WE CAN'T SEEM TO GET CORRECT INFORMATION ON WHAT TO VOTE ON. ERIE IS 23 MILLION IN DEBT BUT YET DOESN'T WANT DEVELOPMENT TO HELP PAY THE DEBT! WHY NOT RAISE YOUR TAXES!!!
GARBAGE DUMPS ARE CLOSE TO POPULATION & TOWN
THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT'S ASSUMPTION THAT THEY COULD PASS ANY AND ALL FUTURE DEVELOPMENT TO PAY FOR PAST SPENDING. LACK OF LOCAL COMMERCIAL SERVICES. WE VERY RARELY SPEND A DIME IN ERIE.
GROWTH - ROOFTOPS
NO COMPETATIVE SHOPPING
GROWTH OF SMALL LOT SIZE COOKIE CUTTER TRACT HOUSES
FILLING OUT SURVEYS FROM CONCERNED GROUPS THAT HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN BITCH ABOUT GROWTH
LOCALS BEING AFRAID OF GROWTH. CHANGE CAN SOMETIMES BE GOOD!!
I DON'T BELIEVE THE CITY GOVERNMENT IS ABLE TO HANDLE THE DEMANDS OF A FAST DEVELOPING SUBURB.
TOO MUCH GROWTH TOO FAST. NOT ENOUGH EMPHASIS ON CREATING A BEAUTIFUL TOWN LIKE BOULDER.
DOWNTOWN ARE HAS LITTLE TO OFFER AND NEEDS RENOVATION
THE WAY THE GOVERNMENT REFUSES TO BASE ITS DECISIONS ON THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE
- GROWTH/HOUSES
ARAPAHOE RIDGE & COUNTRY FIELDS
OTHER THAN THE SAFEWAY CENTER YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THE AREA TO DO/BUY ANYTHING. THUS MY TAXES GO TO ANOTHER CITY OVER ERIE.
THE BOULDER ATTITUDE OF I AM HERE SO LETS STOP GROWTH, BOULDER IS HEADING FOR TAX REVENUE PROBLEMS ACCORDING TO ECONOMISTS IN THE AREA
I FEEL THEY ARE SELLING OUT BOULDER COUNTY TO THE DEVELOPERS. "ERIE SUCKS!!"
LACK OF RETAIL
ALL THE UGLY DEVELOPMENT
NO RECREATIONAL FACILITIES, NO LIBRARY
THE JUNKINESS OF THE OLD TOWN AREA
THE MAYOR, VIC SMITH AND THE WAY HE TREATS PEOPLE AT PUBLIC MEETINGS. I DISLIKE THE FACT THAT NO EFFORT IS BEING PUT INTO DEVELOPING CREATIVELY, THAT THE TOWN CAN'T THINK BEYOND THE STATUS QUO. I DON'T LIKE THAT THEY JUST COVER A PIECE OF LAND WITH HOUSES, RATHER THAN WORKING WITH NATURAL CONTOURS AND ASSETS ON THE PROPERTY
TRYING TO BUILD AWAY FROM CENTRAL ERIE
THE OLD RUN DOWN BARS IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWN
TRUSTEES ATTITUDE
MUDDY STREET!
TO MANY TOWN EMPLOYEES. TOO MANY EMPLOYEES DRIVING TOWN VEHICLES TO AND FROM WORK. TO LARGE PAYROLL FOR THIS TOWN
PREVALENCE OF ANTI-PROGRESSIVE OPINIONS. DEPENDENCY UPON GOSSIP, FAULTY GENERALIZATION, NAME CALLING IN MEDIA INCLUDING WATCHDOG. COMPLACENCY ABOUT LESS THAN ADEQUATE AMENITIES. I'M APPALLED THAT WATCHDOG WAS FIRST PUBLISHED ANONYMOUSLY!!
THERE ARE NO SHOPS/STORES CLOSE BY THAT MEET MY NEEDS
ITS NEW SUB DIVISIONS
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE BLIND TO THE FACT THAT DEVELOPERS CARE NOTHING ABOUT THE QUALITY OF LIFE HERE. ARE THEY MOVING INTO THESE HIGH-PRICED SLAP-EM UP SUB-DIVISIONS? I DOUBT IT. WAKE UP FOLKS, PEOPLE DO NOT MOVE OR LIVE IN ERIE TO BE IN THE CITY. THE HOUSING HERE IS NO MORE AFFORDABLE THAN ANYWHERE ELSE. (I.E. SHEFFIELD HOME STARTING $270/S-300'S) DON'T KILL YOUR SMALL TOWN WITH TRYING TO BE ANOTHER SUPERIOR, BROOMFIELD ETC....
THE OVERLY RELAXED POSTURE OF THE TOWN RE: WEEDS AND CLUTTER
THE NEW DEVELOPMENT, ESPECIALLY ON ISABELLE ARE SO HOMOGENOUS LOOKING (UGLY) AND NO LOW-INCOME HOUSING IS BEING BUILT, AND THEY'RE SO FAR FROM OLD TOWN THEY'RE LIKE SEPARATE COMMUNITIES. VIC HAS BEEN OUR MAYOR DURING MANY POSITIVE CHANGES FOR ERIE BUT HE AND SEVERAL BOARD MEMBERS ARE TOO WORRIED ABOUT REVENUE AND WILLING TO ACCEPT PROMISES DEVELOPERS AT THE EXPENSES OF QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ERIE RESIDENTS. I PERSONALLY PREFER TO KEEP THE TOWN FAIRLY SMALL AND GO TO BOULDER OR LONGMONT FOR MY NEEDS ALTHOUGH I KNOW MANY PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY ELDERLY, ARE SEVERELY LIMITED. I ALSO HATE THE TREATMENT OF TREES IN ERIE. HOW WE CAN BE CALLED TREE CITY IS A MYSTERY TO ME. THE TOWN NEEDS TO MAKE SURE THE TREE CONSULTANT THEY HIRED FOR THE PAVING PROJECT ACTUALLY DOES HIS/HER JOB. I UNDERSTAND WE DON'T HAVE ONE. HIRE PAUL, THE LOCAL TREE GUY. AND DON'T ALLOW TREES ON PUBLIC PROPERTY TO BE TOPPED OFF. THEY'RE UGLY AND PRONE TO DISEASE. AND I DISLIKE THE CLUTTER ON MANY PROPERTIES. I HOPE SIDEWALKS AND GRASS MEDIANS WILL ENCOURAGE MORE PRIDE IN PEOPLE'S YARDS AND HOMES
CURRENT GROW, GROW, GROW, ATTITUDE OF BOARD
ROADS-NO SHOPPING-SMALL STORES WOULD BE GREAT
ALL THE BUILDING GOING ON, DIRT ROADS
TOO MUCH OPEN SPACE HAS BEEN TAKE UP W/LARGE NEIGHBORHOODS
THE DUST, LACK OF COMMUNITY GARDENS SPACE, PUBLIC TENNIS COURTS, ALL THE UGLY HOMES ON ISABELLE
THE TRASH/BAD MAINTENANCE IN OLD TOWN
DEVELOPMENTS
ALL THESE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO TURN ERIE INTO ANOTHER BROOMFIELD OR ANY OTHER SUBURB LACKING IN PERSONALITY
THE BUREAUCRACY PADDING THEIR POCKETS WHILE FORCING GROWTH AND A LOWER QUALITY OF LIFE FOR EVERYONE. THESE BUREAUCRATS DO NOT PLAN ON STAYING IN ERIE; THEY WANT TO CASH IN AND MOVE TO CASH-IN ON THE NEXT SMALL TOW. I'M TIRED OF HEARING VIC SMITH SAY THE PEOPLE WERE MISINFORMED ON NORTHFIELD. WE ARE EDUCATED PROFESSIONALS; I DON'T APPRECIATE HAVING MY INTELLIGENCE INSULTED
IMMATURE LANDSCAPING OF NEW DEVELOPMENT
PEOPLE TRYING TO GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING
CITY COUNCIL
I THINK HOUSING WILL GET BUILT UP RESULTING IN INCREASE TRAFFIC THROUGH BROWNSVILLE AND ERIE LEADING TO PROBLEMS. I THINK IT WILL BE HARD TO GET SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS TO MOVE IN AND SUPPORT THE POPULATION LEADING TO BURDENS ON LAFAYETTE AND LONGMONT
TOWN GOVERNMENT
THE NAME; LACK OF RESTAURANTS/GROCERY STORE/MINI MART CLOSE
WHERE SHOULD I START!!?
OLD TOWN IS TRASHY
IN FIGHTING AMONG LEADERS-REGARDING GROWTH
THE BUILDING
DUMPY LOOKING OLD TOWN-CARS AND JUNK IN YARDS
SHAKY FINANCES DUE TO OPPOSITION TO PLANNED GROWTH, ESPECIALLY COMMERCIAL
LACK OF BASIC RETAIL IN CORE AREA
TO DATE-LACK OF PLANNED DEVELOPMENT, WE LIKE THE IDEA OF A COMMUNITY CENTER WITH OPEN SPACE BUFFERS BETWEEN COMMUNITIES!
THE THREAT OF MASSIVE HOUSING, BACKWARDS TOWN LEADERS. ID LIKE TO SEE LEADERS WHO ARE JUST AS CONCERNED ABOUT OTHERS QUALITY OF LIFE HERE AND BEAUTY, PRESERVATION ETC. AS ECONOMICS
AGREE! I LIVED IN LAFAYETTE FOR YEARS AND WATCHED THEM ALLOW OTHER CITIES TO ANNEX ALL AROUND THEM. NOW ALL THE LAFAYETTE RESIDENTS HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE IMPACT OF GROWTH WHILE REAPING NONE OF THE BENEFITS. DUH, DON'T LET IT HAPPEN TO ERIE
NO AMENITIES, ALSO THE POLITICIANS ARE TRYING TO SHOVE HUGE UNCONTROLLED GROWTH DOWN OUR THROATS. LET RETAIL DEVELOPMENT PAY THE WAY FOR THE AMENITIES, NOT SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES
LACK OF UNITY REGARDING DEVELOPMENT AND GROWTH
THE DIVISION OF THE RESIDENTS
THE LACK OF COMMUNITY-PEOPLE ARE TOO DIVIDED AND NEED TO COME TOGETHER. AGREE TO DISAGREE
THE TOWN OFFICIALS
THE ATTITUDE THAT THE ONLY WAY THE TOWN CAN MAKE MONEY IS BY CHEAP-LOOKING STRIP MALLS AND FAST FOOD PTS AND GAS STATIONS
NOT MANY PLACES TO SHOP LOCALLY FOR THINGS NEEDED ON A DAILY BASIS
ITS SLOW DEVELOPMENT HAS MADE ERIE PAY MORE FOR ITS DEVELOPMENT
THE ALLOWANCE OF MAJOR BUILDING OF NEW SUBDIVISIONS AND-ALLOWING THE BUILDING OF LARGE 2 STORY HOMES, BLOCKING THE VIEW FOR ALL-BOTH EAST AND WEST
HAVING TO DRIVE 10-15 MILES FOR SERVICES
UNWILLINGNESS OR INABILITY TO MEET IN INCREASING NEED TO MAKE SURE DEVELOPMENT IS TAKING PLACE AS ORIGINALLY PROMISED. LACK OF FOLLOW-UP AND ENFORCEMENT
THE CROOKS IN GOVERNMENT/THE IDIOTS IN GOVERNMENT THE SEPARATION/NONCONTIGUOUS DEVELOPMENTS I.E. AIRPARK AND ARAPAHOE RIDGE MAY BE SOLVED BY TRAIL SYSTEM
BEING MAD A LAUGHING STOCK BY ALL THE FIGHTING OVER GROWTH
THE DECREASED LEVEL OF CIVILITY BY AGREE AND THE PEOPLE THAT OPPOSE AGREE. WE NEED TO PULL TOGETHER
JUNK CARS AND JUNKY YARDS
NO MEDICAL FACILITIES
LACK OF SOME RECREATIONAL FACILITIES FOR CHILDREN
GROWTH TO FAST, TOO MANY
THERE IS A LOT OF MISTRUST IN THE TOWN'S LEADERSHIP. HOPEFULLY THAT WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF IN APRIL. THE DUMP (LANDFILL) IS SOMETHING THAT ERIE WILL REGRET IN YEARS TO COME. I REALIZE THAT ERIE NEEDED PAVED STREETS BUT, A LANDFILL IN THE CENTER OF TOWN. THE BIG LANDFILL CORPORATION ARE RICH, ARE THEY GOING TO FILL GRAND CANYON NEXT? RECYCLING PLANTS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO AND THE BIG LANDFILL CORP. SHOULD PAY FOR THOSE PLANTS
GOVERNMENT
TRAILERS IN TOWN NEED REPLACED WITH AT LEAST NEW TRAILERS
LITTLE FIEFDOMS SPREAD OUT IN ALMOST EVERY DIRECTION. MAKES OLD TOWN A SEPARATE ENTITY
THE CRAZY OUT OF CONTROL GROWTH. THE TOWN HAS BECOME YET ANOTHER FRONT RANGE DISASTER
AGREE AND THE WAY THE FACTS HAVE BEEN DISTORTED AND THE TOWN COUNCIL CRITICIZED!!
THAT THERE IS NOT MUCH OF ANYTHING FOR KIDS TO DO AND NO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
LACK OF SERVICES, CITY COUNCIL
TRACK HOUSING. NO REAL PLAN FOR GROWTH
ALL THE CONSTRUCTION, HUGE HOMES BLOCKING THE MOUNTAINS
THE NEGATIVE IMAGE
I DON'T LIKE THE NEGATIVE PUBLICITY THAT IS BEING CREATED. WE NEED TO PORTRAY A POSITIVE IMAGE FOR ERIE AND ITS CITIZENS
FORGING AHEAD WITH DEVELOPMENT WHERE MONEY IS ULTIMATE GOAL. PLEASE GLOW DOWN DON'T DESTROY A GOOD THING!
OLD TOWN
RUN DOWN OLD TOWN-NEED SERVICES SUCH AS A LIBRARY, POOL, REC CENTER
THE UNREALISTIC ATTITUDES THAT ERIE CAN STAY THE WAY IT IS!
THE EXPLOSIVE GROWTH. WE MOVED HERE HOPING THAT GROWTH WOULD BE SLOW AND ERIE WOULD REMAIN SMALL.
JUNK CARS AND TRASH. IT REALLY LOOKS BAD ON ERIE
THE ATTITUDE THAT IF WE INCREASE POPULATION GREATLY, THAT WE WILL SUDDENLY BE ABLE TO LIVE WITHIN OUR MEANS
2500 HOMES JUST APPROVED BY TOWN OF ERIE WITHOUT VOTER APPROVAL
UNDER DEVELOPED DOWNTOWN AND GENERATING INCOME BY PETTY TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS OF THEIR CITIZENS (EX. 40 MPH SPEED LIMIT ON N. 119TH STREET.)
RECENT SUBURBAN SPRAWL
GROWING TO FAST
THE GROWTH AND SEWER PLANT
CLOSER GROCERY STORE
VIC SMITH AND DAVE LOUIS
WE FEEL MORE LIKE PART OF LAFAYETTE BY LOCATION
TOO FAST OF GROWTH FOR THE AREA. NEEDS MORE THOUGHT THAN A "NO"
POTENTIAL YUPPIE HAVEN
