• * I am against the Alamo Manhattan project currently under review
• *
• *
• * Traffic congestion due to about 40% (estimate) increase in residential units. Local streets and access to Macadam will be grid locked at rush hours.
• * Not enough parking spaces in the building plans to accommodate the residents. This puts huge pressure on street parking and affects local businesses by reducing customer parking options
• * City design specifications are for tall buildings on the west blocks. Earlier design reviews with the committee initially recommended that Alamo move the tall buildings to the west, why is this no longer a concern?
• * Alamo is requesting numerous exceptions, in their design. How does the community or city benefit by approving any exceptions? If there are no tangible benefits to these exceptions why grant them to out of state investors over the considerations of the local community
