Stop zoning for Sonic Food in Lutherville, Maryland

The last thing needed at the intersection of York Road and Belfast Road is another fast food restaurant .This is a residential community and safety should be our first priority. The traffic on York Road is already a safety concern, with all the current Fast Food Chains, Smyth’s and Timonium Fair Grounds. Adding another fast food chain will cause more traffic delays and possible vehicle accidents. Currently Sonic American Fast Food is fighting to change zoning from residential to commercial. This property has been vacated for years and the community would benefit more from a family friendly dwelling.

Why is this important?

I live on Belfast Road, I really enjoy our community. I am worried about the amount of traffic Sonic will bring on Belfast Road, and Vista Ave. Plus, the amount of trash Fast Food Chains bring from there carry out will cause pollution in our neighborhood. Since I am in walking distance, I rather not listen to sonic music that is 24/7, while I am at home with my family. Please lets not allow Sonic American Drive In, on a residential property and In our residential community.
