My husband and I join many others in opposing the development of a day care center of this size at this site – for safety reasons. The center will increase traffic during peak periods. In the morning period especially, neighborhood Thurson Elementary School and Clague Middle School children are crossing the area streets in an area with no traffic signals. We would expect traffic to increase not only on Nixon and Bluett, but also on neighboring streets as drivers work around congestion on Nixon and Bluett. Reminder - overall traffic in the area will soon get heavier as people move into the developments farther north on Nixon. We urge the council to postpone any approval until Ann Arbor Public Schools conducts its own traffic study and its findings are reviewed.
