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
