My black son was framed with drugs taken off a white child that was permitted to return to public common school while my son was not and has never gotten a hearing in front of the local school board. Fayette County Public Schools criminally charged my son with the fabricated police report as well and assaulted me while I was peacefully protesting what they were doing and failing to do. They have defamed my character and when I tried to re-enroll my son when they failed to have a hearing they barricaded the doors at the public common school and wouldn’t even let me enter the front office. The only hearing we have been afforded was in front of staff that have a direct financial interest in my son’s transfer in alternative schools and when I tried to record the hearing to prove it was not the board, they kicked us out for no reason. Fayette co public schools is extremely corrupt.
Tanyqua supported: Abolish the School to Prison PipelineAs a resident of Lake Forest, I am deeply concerned about the three proposed industrial warehouse projects on Enterprise Way. These developments threaten the very fabric of our community, bringing significant environmental, health, and safety risks to our neighborhoods.
Protecting Our Neighborhoods:
Lake Forest is a beautiful, family-oriented city, and projects like these disrupt the residential character that attracted so many of us to live here. High-density industrial developments are simply incompatible with the surrounding neighborhoods, including Baker Ranch and Meadows, which are located just steps from the proposed sites.
Environmental and Health Risks:
The potential for increased air pollution from diesel trucks and industrial activities is alarming. Residents—especially children and seniors—will be directly exposed to harmful pollutants. The noise from 24/7 operations will further degrade our quality of life. Living within 100 feet of truck routes or loading docks is not what we signed up for when choosing to call Lake Forest home.
Traffic and Infrastructure Strain:
The roads we rely on, like Bake Parkway and Alton Parkway, are already busy during peak hours. Adding heavy truck traffic from these warehouses will only make things worse. The limited road improvements planned for these projects don’t come close to addressing the long-term damage and congestion they’ll create.
Impact on Vulnerable Populations:
The Meadows Senior Apartments, home to over 100 residents aged 62 and older, will be directly affected. Our seniors deserve peace and safety, not constant noise, polluted air, and the dangers of increased traffic.
The Need for Transparency and Community Input:
These projects seem to have progressed without meaningful engagement with residents. We deserve to have our voices heard through public hearings and to see comprehensive Environmental Impact Reports that fully address the cumulative risks to our community.
The Bigger Picture:
Allowing industrial facilities to encroach on residential areas sets a dangerous precedent. What will stop more of these projects from spreading in the future? If these warehouses are approved, we risk losing the safe, family-friendly environment that makes Lake Forest special.
I urge the City Council and Planning Department to reject these projects and instead pursue developments that align with our city’s vision of community well-being and sustainability. We must prioritize the health, safety, and quality of life for all residents over industrial expansion.
Let’s protect what makes Lake Forest a great place to live—today and for generations to come.
Fangxian supported: Stop the Proposed Industrial Warehouse Manufacturing Projects in Lake ForestAs a senior citizen I know how important we need good air quality not just outside but in inside our homes. This type of construction bringing all sorts of equipment will definitely bring the air quality to a dangerous level for our lungs and bodies. All that dust/dirt and tiny unhealthy particles traveling in the air spreading everywhere will be bringing it into our environment breathing into it somehow, somewhere and someway which in time will cause people harm. As you know one can get that disease where your hands shake a lot at present I can’t remember the name. My cousin used to drive those caterpillars leveling land and he cintracted the disease at the young sge of 45 years old. The dirt particles build up in your body in time. I urgently suggest to look elsewhere where it is not heavily populated. Also it’s not just senior citizens like myself but young children and adults who have allergies and pulmonary issues too.
Thank you

Vera supported: Stop the Proposed Industrial Warehouse Manufacturing Projects in Lake ForestI lived within 1 mile radius from those projects. My major concern regarding to the renovations / expansions of the existing buildings are 1. traffic, 2. noise, and 3. pollutions.
1. Traffic: Lots of commuters drive from Foothill Ranch to I-5 to work. Please consider to restrict the number of cars to the on Bake parkway or Lake Forest drive so it won't cause bad traffic jams when local people needs to go to work or go home.
2. Noise: Please make sure the noise from the business buildings won't cause trouble to the sleeping qualities of the residents between 9PM to 8AM.
3. Pollution: My major concerns are chemical pollution to the air. This is more to the type of business. I assume the number and types of the cars to the parking lots will be the same as before. Please restrict the industry types of the future tenants.
Thank you for your time to take a look at my concerns.

Grace supported: Stop the Proposed Industrial Warehouse Manufacturing Projects in Lake ForestPelham Bay in the Bronx has been slammed with non stop blasting music from Friday nights through Monday mornings. Residents can’t sleep. Houses are vibrating. This must end.
Barbara supported: Revise New York City Noise Regulations to Address Illegal Speaker UseI live in South Ozone Park and the noise here is endless as well. Sometimes on a week night late at night, I hear cars coming from a block away with music blasting. Something must be done to improve the quality of the neighborhood.
Diane supported: Revise New York City Noise Regulations to Address Illegal Speaker UseI live on 235th st. I can hear the noise from here. I have two little ones and we need to use white noise machines in order for them to stay asleep. It is very disruptive. Please fix this issue. No reason for it.
Caitlin supported: Revise New York City Noise Regulations to Address Illegal Speaker UseYou can’t enjoy an evening regardless of the season here in Maspeth. The music playing and oh the nightly drag racing. In the winter when the windows are closed you still hear it but not as bad as the other seasons. I have to shut the windows. Crank you the AC and turn up the tv. It’s been going on since 2019 and increased through out the years. Hopefully the city and Albany does something about this.
Joanne supported: Revise New York City Noise Regulations to Address Illegal Speaker UseHi! I have a bumblebee ball python [ which comes from a spider ball python. Thankfully she doesn’t show any symptoms of wobble. [ I got her before I knew about this terrible neurological issue and the breeding of this gene. ] These poor babies should be made just to suffer!
