LAWSON HEIGHTS NEIGHBORS VOICE OPPOSITION FOR STUDENT HOUSING

Several neighbors voiced their opposition to having two rental homes for Saint Vincent students in the township’s Lawson Heights neighborhood. The Trib reports that the Unity zoning hearing board will decide next month if Steven and Carol Peck can continue to operate the two houses on Catherine Avenue and Sunset Drive. Those against it said student housing in the single family homes is out-of-step with the neighborhood’s family homes and expressed concern about the negative impact the vehicles of students and their guests have on cramped parking and the safety of children playing outdoors.
