Previous mayor and current mayor & group who have zero experience in urban planning, decided in 2013 to develop 8.2 acres without residents input & without retaining an urban planner. The $500K 2017 workshops (waste of money) only happened because of public outcry to 260 high-rise Lennar condos.
Then cut a deal with Eden Housing without engaging residents & what a mess today.
They’re focused on east side hotel w/o underground parking-again no outside urban consulting or listening to residents.
Now spending $34M on 500car L St garage, when a 625car robotic garage can be built for $20M. Extra 125 parking spaces can be for hotel parking.
Now, you want to loan $1.9M of taxpayer’s money to buy Pool site and build a flat parking lot. That’s crazy. Zero consideration as to the impact on future parking, traffic congestion, community character.
Do you know that Listening builds trust…reduces misunderstandings… eliminates conflict…improves business relationships…improves leadership skills?
