Sarah Mosier raised concerns about a proposed high-density development in the historic Lowe's Grove neighborhood, citing issues with lack of green space, pedestrian safety, and compatibility with the area's character, and urged the council to reject the rezoning request. However, the Durham City Council ultimately approved the project.
