Why this petition matters

Started by Stratford Resident

Developer wants to change Single-Family Zoning to Multi-Family Zoning in order to build around 35 units of housing per acre of land along both sides of Broadbridge Ave in Stratford, CT. Not only will our property VALUES DECREASE,  but so will our quality of life. This large development will increase traffic to an already dangerous road which has no sidewalks, limited public transportation, and multiple lanes of speeding traffic. The increase in population will strain our already overcrowded school system, increases traffic, and possibly overburden our sewage system. When we bought our homes we did so believing that the town zoning board would follow its own rules and regulations, instead of decreasing our property values and putting our safety at risk in order for a developer to profit. If this change goes through for Broadbridge Avenue, what will stop the same thing from happening in the rest of our town?

We the undersigned, are opposed to singling out Broadbridge Avenue for a "planned residential district" that would replace single family homes with housing units up to 35 units per acre. We demand the Town of Stratford and its Zoning Commission not exceed the recommendations published by its own Housing Partnership and keep Broadbridge Avenue Single-Family Zoning.
