Woodland Park redevelopment

A 20-year area resident who questioned anti-displacement protections and compared the developer's record to the stalled Euclid project, warning that displaced residents are still waiting.

Representing a nine-member Woodland Park renters committee, urged the council to approve the project as a just resolution benefiting residents.

A 15-year resident of 1994 Euclid who opposed demolition, saying displaced neighbors were promised relocation that never happened and that displacement would destroy families' futures.

A five-year Woodland Park tenant who noted 80% AMI equals about $117,000 for an individual and said no current tenants earn that; urged rejection and asked the city to make Sand Hill negotiate with tenants.

Asked the council to reject the alternative compliance request, saying it strips deeper affordability and ownership opportunities, and to postpone until replacement-unit questions are answered.

Spoke for middle-class residents erased from Whiskey Gulch who were promised they could return, and said they should be first on any list of returnees.

A five-year resident who urged a no vote, saying removing deeply affordable housing would displace working families.

Urged the council not to approve, warning of a repeat of the Four Corners project, calling Sand Hill untrustworthy, and asking for complete information on unit sizes and affordability.

Criticized the project's unit mix, urged council members to visit rental properties to see conditions, and said development should be built to what residents want.

Urged rejection of the Sand Hill proposal because it eliminates the 35% and 50% AMI tiers that serve the city's lowest-income residents.

A 14-year West Bayshore resident who asked the council to approve the project's renovations so current families can live in better housing.

Asked how the city will guarantee displaced tenants can return within a reasonable time, noting Manhattan project tenants still haven't returned, and urged a no vote.

Demanded a true assessment of families living in Woodland Park apartments and full information from the developer before the council decides.
