He stated that such an area at the end of the City <br />would create more traffic on Lorain Rd; would require larger sewers and generally <br />make that area a."wrong side of the tracks area". He feels that the w?st end <br />should not have every kind of Zoning dumped on it such as Limited Industry, <br />General Retail and Mixed Use which would tend to lower home values of existing <br />homes.
