TONIGHT! Alameda Planning Board Meeting on MEGAPLEX - Please Attend!
These meetings go on until very late so even if you arrive late, it makes sense to at least check and see if things are still going on. Every person who shows up helps us to stop this project.
PLANNING BOARD DISCUSSION ON THE THEATER/GARAGE ISSUE CONTINUES THIS MONDAY JUNE 27 AT 7 PM IN CITY HALL!
Two weeks ago the Board was overwhelmed by the number of speakers opposing the megaplex, and voted to continue the agenda at the meeting this coming Monday. ALL OF US NEED TO BE PRESENT AGAIN, IN LARGE NUMBERS, AND URGE THE BOARD NOT TO APPROVE THE DESIGNS BASED ON THE LACK OF MERIT OF THE WHOLE PROJECT!
We also encourage you to share your ideas and help the Board visualize a better parking solution than the one Michael Stanton has given them. At the last meeting someone showed a sketch of a structure respectful of the surrounding buildings that made people in the audience applaud. We agree that parking is needed, but we want it to fit the scale of the Civic Center area and look less like a parking garage; or consider building up several smaller lots as opposed to one big concentration downtown. Bring ideas to the table and convince the Board to not make a decision until a discussion of alternatives has occurred!
The agenda for the meeting is at http://www.ci.alameda.ca.us/planning/2005/m_1119880800.html Please submit a speaker slip, and give copies of any written communication to the City Clerk.
See you there!
