Stop Mcdonald's!
As residents of Ann Arbor, we are opposed to the destruction of the historic Nickels House on Maynard Street and the construction of a McDonald’s Restaurant on its site. We ask the Ann Arbor City Council to reject the proposed McDonald’s for the following reasons:
- A McDonald’s on Maynard Street would create an intolerable litter situation in the area, covering adjacent streets and walks with plastic and paper garbage.
- McDonald’s would aggravate the already congested parking and traffic citation in the area.
- McDonald’s fare fails to meet human nutritional needs.
- McDonald’s would threaten the variety of eating in the State Street area by driving independent restaurants off of business.
- McDonald’s corporation has a high worker turnover rate because of poor working conditions and low pay. It has consistently fought federal minimum wage legislation.
- The Mcdonald’s chain resists hiring women, and has excluded blacks from receiving franchises.
- For all of these reasons, we feel that the Maynard Street Mcdonald’s would be a detriment to our community
