Public Hearing...Traffic Gridlock, higher density housing! Secret Meetings!

 

 Public Hearing  
Monday January 25  5:30pm
City Council
Comprehensive Plan Updates
Rezoning...Rezoning...higher density housing
The city council wants everyone inside or outside the city limits to speak.

 Gig Harbor voters overwhelmingly re-elected Ken Malich to the city council because he takes into consideration their views and votes accordingly.
            This landslide of voters said solve the traffic problem first.  Voters supported Ken in his issues to limit housing starts, limit density and to stop this rezoning. Before any rezoning, fix the traffic problem and provide a school for kids.
            The developers who purchased land on 112^th st and Canterwood Blvd knew the zoning regulations before they spent their money.  Why would they purchase and then expect to have their property rezoned?  Citizens are stuck to deal with the negative impacts developers and builders leave behind.
            This rezoning will continue to allow the high density housing voters have rejected. This is exactly what the voters did not want. This high density housing will add to the existing traffic gridlock at #16 and Borgan.
            Any improvements to Hwy 16 is highly doubtful.  The already dangerous on and off ramps will become more treacherous.  How would like more cars in those roundabouts?             The City Council needs to  first solve the traffic problems before any rezoning is considered. 

  That’s what voters in Gig Harbor voted for. 
            Gig Harbor voters want the council to change out of control developement now.  At certain times of the day, Hwy#16 on and off ramps and Borgan roundabouts simple cannot accommodate any more traffic.  Fix the traffic before you add to the congestion.
   Ken Malich earned our votes by respecting and voting for the public who want to stop this out of control development. Council member Malich represents the public’s views with his vote. 
          The mayor and 4 council seats are up for re-election in 2017.
The Mayor and City Council needs to listen to the wishes of the voters and vote accordingly.
  Mayor and Council members,  do the right thing.  It worked for Ken.
 

Some of you are concerned about those secret meetings.  When meetings are not recorded and when the public is barred from attending...they are secret meetings. The time to speak to this is during the Public Comment time.  It is listed on the Agenda.  Citizensforgigharbor@gmail.com      Nov 2017 1 mayor, 4 council seats up for re-election.    "I am only one, but still I am one.  I cannot do everything, but still I can do something.  Because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do something that I can do."
