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, 
Melanie Joy-Bruner
