TO THE EDITOR:
Glen Lennox is a historic, mixed use development located off Raleigh Road and Fordham Boulevard.
It has been seeking the approval to redevelop since 2008.
The plans for this project call for the construction of new townhouses and duplexes, new two-story commercial spaces and new office spaces and parking lots.
However, there are many cons of this issue that clearly outweigh the pros that will take place.
Therefore, the project should not be approved by the Chapel Hill Town Council.
There are multiple issues with this project.
It could triple traffic in the area as it’s built over the next twenty years, and it could potentially create more storm water runoff, which especially is an issue considering the rapid flooding that has taken place recently in this area.
These apartments are also one of few affordable housing units in the area that are safe.
