Dear Mayor and Council Members,

 

I think the Aura development is OK. People who are moving to town should have options to live close to downtown, rather than finding housing in developments on the outskirts—Southern Village and so on. I think people living on the corner of Estes and MLK will be more likely to ride buses and bikes.

 

I’m no expert on traffic, but I don’t think the traffic effects on Estes Drive will be as disastrous as some people are predicting. (I myself live off Estes.)

 

I assume also that the Aura development would be a significant source of tax revenue, which the town could spend on things we need.

 

Dave Pier
