TRICA child care CUP

A direct neighbor on Eastman strongly supported TRICA, saying the building used to be derelict and the kids' energy is welcome; his concern was the drop-off and pickup situation, not parking.

Owner of another downtown child care program spoke in support, calling similar conditions onerous and noting his own drop-off zone in an alley is barely used.

An across-the-street resident warned that removing condition nine would let non-child-care events spill outdoors, claiming TRICA hosts ticketed rock concerts with drug and alcohol use at what should be a daycare site.

The North End Neighborhood Association representative supported the daycare use and the outdoor activities change, but flagged the removal of the drop-off condition as a pedestrian safety concern worth more attention.
