Dear Mr. Behrendt,
I am a resident of the Faculty neighborhood, and am very concerned about the plans to develop the Mill 
Plaza. Numerous children walk through the pedestrian zone every day, and I believe it will be 
detrimental to have a large student apartment right where they pass on their way to and from school 
and after school activities. 
Needless to say, many adults use that path as well. The town has already seen a large increase in 
student apartments in the down town area and it’s hard to imagine why the Mill Plaza location is 
necessary, especially when it is a corner of pedestrian space so heavily used.
I also am concerned about the traffic increase in that part of town, and the small woodsy path that so 
many of us enjoy. What will that look like, with 300+ students living there?
Please reject the proposed plan and preserve this small remaining part of our pedestrian culture in 
Durham.
Best,
Julia Rodriguez
