Stop the townhouse development on Fisher Road
Stop the townhouse development on Fisher Road
The Issue
As a resident of Upper Allen Township, I find myself deeply alarmed by the proposed development plan for at least 19 townhouses at 1924 Fisher Road, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055. This project, if allowed to proceed, threatens to disrupt our community and degrade the environment, infrastructure, and overall quality of life in our area.
One of the foremost concerns is stormwater containment. The current infrastructure is already strained, and adding such a large development will exacerbate flooding risks, posing a threat to our homes and properties. Additionally, the proposed sewer connections may not support this added burden, increasing the likelihood of sanitation issues that could affect local health conditions.
Traffic congestion is another issue that cannot be ignored. With the increase in residents, our roads, several of which were not designed to handle heavy traffic, will become more congested, raising safety concerns, especially for pedestrians and children. The increase in traffic inevitably leads to longer commuting times, reducing the quality of life for everyone in the area.
Furthermore, the potential for increased light pollution is a significant worry. Many of us moved to this area to enjoy the peace and tranquility it offers, including clear night skies. Excessive artificial lighting from the proposed development threatens to rob us of this simple pleasure.
Our sense of security and privacy is also at stake. This planned development could drastically reduce the personal space that residents currently enjoy, forcing us to sacrifice our right to a secure and private environment.
The residents of Upper Allen Township should not have to give up their well-being for unchecked development. We call on the Township's planning commission and local officials to reconsider this proposal and seek sustainable and responsible alternatives that protect our community's interests.
Sign this petition to voice your opposition to the development plan at 1924 Fisher Road and to protect the best interests of our community.
