The future of Lambertville is at stake.
Here are some of the risks this development poses to our community:
- Risk to Resident Well Water Pollution from disruption of the open Landfill and the burned-down Teflon product manufacturer on the Development SiteĀ
- Increased Risk and Severity of Flooding in the City's downtown neighborhoods
- Insufficient models for assessment of flood risks
- No improvements to roads or pedestrian and vehicular access to the development
- Increased Parking and Traffic problems with the addition of 400-500 vehicles to town with no addition of sidewalks or safe pedestrian access across 179
- Equity issues with putting all Affordable Units in a segregated building and under separate management
- 12 acres of deforestation and destruction of natural habitats, risk of slope instability, and an additional 1 million gallons of water with no place to go but downhill
