[BoulderCouncilHotline] Good Luck tonight with the meeting and please reconsider the discussion...

[Joseph, Junie]

Dear Fellow Colleagues,

I wish you all a fruitful conversation this evening. Although I will not be present at the meeting. If you do move forward on the East Boulder Subcommunity Plan discussion, I would urge you, my fellow council members to remove the proposed housing on the north side of Western Avenue, directly across from the Corden Pharma. I have had some conversation with community members and their concerns are valid. Here are some of the concerns raised, which all of you have already come across:


  *   The current version of the East Boulder Subcommunity Plan includes “mixed-use” housing, along the north side of Western Avenue.
  *   That means we would place residents directly across the railroad tracks from a 24 hour heavy manufacturing facility, i.e., Corden Pharma.
  *   That although Corden is a very responsible manufacturing company, there is 24-hour truck traffic and other manufacturing activity on the site that will likely upset next door neighbors (and setbacks or parking areas will not be sufficient to address those concerns).
  *   In addition, there could be potential security threats to residents (both adults and children) having direct line of site to a facility that is working and storing chemicals for their pharmaceutical manufacturing operations.

When you think of moving into a neighborhood does a pharmaceutical plant with 24-hour truck traffic and other manufacturing activity comes to mind or do you think of a quiet neighborhood where your children can play outside?

In Service,


Junie Joseph
