Based on our experience, these <br /> types of facilities can lead to increased crime and drug use,particularly during nighttime <br /> hours. As a business owner and a parent of a teenage daughter, this raises serious safety <br /> concerns for our family and the surrounding community. <br /> Additionally,we are not in favor of adding sidewalks along Railroad Street. Our business <br /> regularly accommodates larger vehicles, including trucks and trailers, and the addition <br /> of sidewalks would interfere with our ability to safely and efficiently serve these customers. <br /> We also do not support the addition of street lights along Railroad Street, as many residents <br /> live in close proximity and are concerned about light pollution and its impact on their homes <br /> and quality of life. <br /> Furthermore, we would like it clearly stated that we wish to represent our own views and not <br /> be represented by any single group claiming to speak on behalf of the entire Easton <br /> community. We do not feel that all perspectives are aligned, and we value maintaining the <br /> ability to communicate directly with county officials. <br /> That said,we would support a skate park or some activity for the teens and children of Easton, <br /> as this would bring a sense of community. <br /> We appreciate the opportunity to provide input and ask that our concerns and preferences <br /> be taken into consideration as the plan is finalized. <br /> Thank you for your time and consideration. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Jen Peterson <br /> Owner/Billing/Media <br /> Peterson's World Wide <br /> Cell: 206-819-0637 <br />
