Subject: 715 West Main Street - Wendys application
Hello
I am writing in opposition to the the application to put a Wendy’s at this location. My reasons for
opposing this are as follows. We live right around the corner at 503 Strawberry Hill Road and have 3
young children who like to ride bikes and walk/play in this area. The high school has a lot of kids crossing
West Main St and a fast food restaurant will cause a lot of chaos and traffic in the area.
Secondly, we walk up and down pine street almost daily and the amount of trash along the sides of the
roads is absurd. We are teaching our children to take care of the earth and multiple times a year we bring
out trash bags and pick up trash along our property and pine street and having a fast food restaurant will
add to the trash and the growing rodent population in our area.
Lastly, we are not a city. We are constantly losing the Cape Cod charm that people come here to visit by
trying to turn our town and villages into something like a city.
There is a Wendys 2 miles from the proposed location. I cannot express this loudly enough - WE DO NOT
WANT OR NEED A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT IN THIS AREA!
Please deny this application.
Sincerely
Charlene Moseley
My husband and 3 children (ages 7-10) are also in opposition.
