NOTICE: The Trustco Bank branch under construction at

OPPOSE THE DRIVE UP WINDOW It will act as a magnet for
speeding traffic, associated congestion, noise, litter and air
pollution from vehicle emissions; create a pedestrian safety
hazard in and around Crestwood Plaza; thereby eroding the
residential integrity and quality of life, and property tax base
in this R 1B zoned single family residential neighborhood.
Whitehall Rd, Hackett Blvd, S, Manning Blvd, John David and
Gingerbread Lanes , Ferndale-Hopewell Sts and Collins Pl
Hurst Ave and Westford St would be most impacted.
We defeated a similar proposal four years ago.
8th Ward Alderman John Rosenzweig is writing a letter to the
BZA in OPPOSITION asking the BZA to DENY application.
We WELCOME TRUSTCO without the drive up window. JS 4/07
