I know the neighborhood is concerned about the property being rezoned as commercial, but I don't believe that is their biggest concern.

The main reason I've heard is that those streets to the NW of National and Sunshine have always been low traffic, only used by people that actually live there.

Part of building right on that corner will be that the entrances and exits from the business will have to be on University Street. Maybe entrances, but how is anyone going to leave a business on the corner of one of the busies intersections in town? So, instead of a the quiet side street they've had for years, now there will be a lot more traffic.

I get people saying, "Who cares, it's legal and get over it", but I've been in the same situation in another area of town. A developer comes in and says, "No really, it will totally not change anything for you guys." But, now I have 10x more traffic down what used to be a very quiet side street in front of my house, accidents, people parking where they shouldn't, etc.

Just saying they're not just some NIMBY activists not wanting historic houses torn down, they're worried about the impacts a little further out.
